Below are menus
for scrumptious meals that will suit carnivores, omnivores
and vegetarians alike. They start with meat, fish or
fowl that you are cooking already, then provide the
framework for feeding your vegetarian too.

Jellies, jams and peanut

This hearty
breakfast will provide plenty of protein
for everyone. If you have an open-minded
omnivore, you won’t need the eggs,
as the Tofu Scramble is delicious! The turmeric
gives it the color of eggs. |

Hash Browns |
I looked
for a vegan pancake recipe, but couldn’t
find one. So I made one up! These spiced
Applesauce Pancakes are awesome. Pour real
maple syrup on them, or serve with your
favorite preserves.

I made the
Corn Fritters and Black Beans one night
with what I had available in my pantry.
Mmmmmm! It has been a staple ever since.
Combine it with link sausage and a green
salad for a satisfying lunch for anyone. |

C |
Boiled or
grilled shrimp |
V |
Thai
Salad |
I had this
salad in a Thai restaurant and begged for
the dressing recipe. It had three ingredients!
I immediately went home and re-created it.
Serve it with tofu for your vegetarian.
Put shrimp or ultra thin slices of beef
on it for your meat-eaters.

If you want
to speed up this meal, make only the lasagna
(with hamburger replacer) or the very tasty
Stuffed Shells. If your meat-eaters insist,
make the lasagna with real meat. The eggless
Caesar Salad and garlic bread will round
this out for a very hearty meal. |

or herb to avoid confusion.
