I am a mother of a non-meat-eating family, and
we thrive on a vegetarian lifestyle.
(I guess we're not technically vegetarians since we eat fish, cheese, and eggs.
But I don't know what that's called...and frankly,
I don't really want to be labeled as anything).

People ask me all the time what on earth
I feed my family if we don't eat meat.

Well, I'll tell you what on earth I feed my family.
Enjoy a whole week's worth of wholesome meatless
breakfasts, lunches, and dinners.
From my kitchen to yours.

The Nielsons always start breakfast off with a hot bowl of oatmeal.
I top mine with fresh fruit.
Oliver prefers his with extra honey,
and Jane can usually eat 2-3 bowls easily.
Snack: cold watermelon slices

Lunch
Claire's favorite: Whole wheat toasted mozzarella cheese sandwiches
with tomato soup.
As always, what is tomato soup without crushed, rich, round butter crackers,
and a dollop of cream?
Dinner:
Lavish bread Waldorf-style white tuna wraps.

Mr. Nielson likes to add extra greens to his, and
I add more currants to mine (I like this tart).
I also made a delicious grilled crusty bread salad
with fresh basil, cherry tomatoes, and mozzarella.
FHE treat.
Double chocolate chippers!! Family favorite!

I usually make big batches so we can drop off some to the Godparents,
or so Mr. Nielson can take some to co-workers
(or so he says...wink wink)
