Tofu tater tot casserole7/2/2023 Won't their friends think they're weird? I'd wager that none of my big girl's friends give a damn what she eats. If they choose to eat meat (or go vegan) when they're a bit older I won't stand in their way - providing they can demonstrate they understand the decision they're making.ĭo I think they're 'missing out'? Not at all! We eat a wide variety of delicious food from a huge range of cultures. From an ethical standpoint, the origin of our food and the impact of the decisions we make is something we discuss a lot as a family. This is a decision I've been happy to make on their behalf because I know they're eating a balanced and healthy diet, and in fact they're some of the healthiest kids I've ever known. My children are being raised on lacto-ovo vegetarian diets (no fish, poultry or meat, but including dairy and egg). But, it's still something I get asked about a lot, so if you're interested in my thoughts - read on. The last thing I want to do is come across like I'm telling anyone what to do, or that I think my way is the only right way. Raising vegetarian kids is something I haven't written about before, mainly because I know we all have our own ideas about parenting and food. Brilliant, and absolutely perfect for vegetarian kids, or to get a bit of variety into the diets of non-vegetarians kids too. Adding a few dollars worth of tofu instantly triples the protein content. Getting DIY on it and customising the recipe means you can boost the nutritional value, save money and still keep the littles happy. I mean, crispy and soft potato, what's not to love? They're not a thing in New Zealand, but I totally get the concept and understand why they're insanely popular with little people. Now I have to preface this recipe by saying I've never tasted an actual tater tot. Crispy tofu and potato is a kid pleasing combo that even the pickiest of eaters are sure to enjoy.
