Feeding Three Boys During Lessons


My big boys love tacos. They would eat them a couple of times a week. I had some left over "veggie meat" made up from my party and I decided to use all the leftovers I could to make them a little feast.


They like the "meat" spooned over the Honduran Red Beans with cheese and lettuce in a toasted corn tortilla. Our favorite "beef crumble" is made by Quorn. I mix a little seasoning into it and you can't tell the difference. No one complains. :) I added some homemade salsa, I can share the recipe if you like. Some mandarin oranges and coconut milk finish out the lunch.

On another day I served the sweet and sour "meatballs". They were either Veggie Patch or another brand. They also had steamed rice and broccoli. Remy found the little happy face cookies at some store. They added a little fun.

I can't remember the name of the company that makes "beef tips". Eli loves them, but Remy doesn't. I made beef and broccoli, rice, and fruit cup for them. The "fig newton" is a brand from the health food store. It is made with blueberries and whole wheat flour. They are good...like little cobbler bars. You can't even compare them to a Fig Newton.

Noey Boos loves a fruit cup. He even likes to feed himself. ;)

School Lunch


I have posted from time to time what the boys eat for lunch. I thought I would post here and there again since we have young Noey Boo's with us now. :) I also like to share what my veggie kids (well, Remy is in a rebellious stage) eat for lunch.


This is the tray for Elijah and Remy. They love REAL mashed potatoes with some sour cream, earth balance butter, and a sprinkle of cheese. Quorn "chicken nuggets" are a BIG favorite. They are not chicken, of course. Gotta have some ketchup! The drink is coconut milk. They go NUTS over that milk, let me tell you. Oh, and an organic green tea chocolate sandwich cookie. These are so yummy. Much better than your average oreo.

Here is Noah's tray.

He insists on a wee bit of ketchup to dip his nugget pieces in, too. He even holds and drinks hims wittle coconut milk. I thought I had a picture of it.


I think you can see his favorite part of lunch.
