Recipe Introduction
These are the recipes I served at my son's mountain bike relay last summer. I used tofu whenever possible ro assure protein. Mitch asked me to watch the fiber content day of race (which put me into more milk and egg products). These aren't all easily converted for the Meateaters but frankly are great. These recipes are for a large group. Several of us who were not vegetarians loved the fare, did not feel deprived and was soooooooooo healthy:
