Recipe Introduction
My child didn't turn vegetarian until his 20s. I also respect his values and developed a number of recipes for Xmas that would ba fabulous for him. His brother and I both agree we love such a variety of meats but can enjoy the vegetarian dishes with Mitch. THese are the recipes I developed for the holiday. Each can be converted into a meat-eaters delight easily. I've tried to make notes for you on this. Mitch is not vegan so most recipes have eggs and milk (I don't think some of these kids balance their proteins carefully). I have tried to note for you ways to create satisfying portions for the family carnivors:
