Food!

I am disgusted by how many of the recipes that turn up on a search for "kid friendly" are like 90% sugar or fried. Ew!


Along those lines... what was your favourite meal as a kid? I'm redoing my camp menu for, like, the eigth time and have decided there are a few things on it I don't like. Lunch or dinner ideas are especially appreciated. Extra love if you suggest meals/recipes that are vegitarian and/or pork-free!



P.S. Feel free to still answer this

I think some really good choices are meals that can be have meat or not -

Spaghetti + Meatballs separately
Taco stuff with refried beans & separate meat, cheese, etc.

Cute lunch ideas here:

I tend to look at vegan friendly sites which are more restrictive -
Macaroni & Cheese seems to be a proverbial favorite.

Yeah, with kids meals where they can choose separate pieces always seem smartest.

Tacos I think are absolutely awesome, since the protein can be with either meat or beans... and any recipe that uses ground beef I can substitute with TVP for the vegetarians. I just have to make sure everyone is getting enough protein. Orders from the boss ladies, and all.


Thank you for the link! Haven't seen that one, yet.
