I am not a vegetarian by any means nor do I really understand much about the vegetarian lifestyle. But what I did know is this – my sweet little boy loved vegetables since he began eating solids. Up until he was about 2 we thought it was just a love for veggies and nothing else, literally!
I discovered it was more than just a love for veggies during our annual pumpkin carving for Halloween. As the family finished carving the pumpkins, there sat my 2 year old eating the pulp we had scooped out from inside the pumpkin. Once he sifted through the seeds and realized he had eaten what he could, he then starting bringing the carved pumpkins to me one by one to cut up so that he could continue eating his new discovery.
After that night the light flipped on in my head and I realized he showed vegetarian traits. He still didn’t eat meat, dairy products and very little grains. Basically he didn’t eat much of anything.
I would ask the doctors because I was worried and a bit confused and they always told me, he would eat when he was ready that he wouldn’t starve himself. Oh boy were they wrong! No he didn’t starve but he ate very little.

As meat eaters we have learned over the past few years that creating veggie meals is a lot easier than most think.
This site is about just that – creating veggie meals for many types of people looking for different meal options.

Thank you for such a wonderful website!!
Hi Patty, thanks for the support. There are so many great Vegetarian websites but because my family is a bit different having only 1 vegetarian, I found it difficult to find resources to feed the family as a whole. My mission here is provide just that, 1 meal for everyone. Thanks again and let me know if you have any suggestions, tips or are looking for something specific!! -Thanks Machelle
