We kind of did our V-Day stuff over the weekend so there were not heart-shaped pink pancakes or anything. The kids did the standard class Valentine's parties. I volunteered to bring cookies so I sent them with vegan snickerdoodles and they had those and fruit. No slip-ups! I did let them have a few little candies from their Valentine boxes that the classmates passed out. We stuck with the non-dairy and non-gelatin ones, which are pretty much straight up sugar. Gross. They didn't make a fuss about it at all but I just felt bad so we let them have a few.
Breakfast:
smoothies and cereal
Lunch:
PBJ's or Pad Thai noodles with carrots, strawberries and veggie straws
Salad (mom)
Dinner:
Tofu Tacos
Before you start feeling sorry for mom about the salad, let me show you what I mean by SALAD:
I am not talking about some sad mix of lettuce and a token tomato. This had spinach, avocado, cucumbers, tomatoes, blueberries, craisins, sunflower seeds, hemp seeds, and croutons. I used a vegan champagne dressing that was nice and vinegar-y. And I dont' do a little side plate salad, this baby goes in a huge mixing bowl so I was fully satistfied. Yum.
Dinner was a real surprise. I cooked up some crumbled tofu in a skillet and mixed in a little salsa and we put it in tacos with Daiya Cheddar and lettuce (mom and dad also had avocados and mom added grilled mushrooms and tomatoes) and, can you beleive, the kids actually ate it! Not like, choked it down and chased it with a gallon of water either. They totally liked it! I was so happy!
