What shortcuts would YOU like to see on the sidebar?

We received a great suggestion to put links to helpful resources on our side bar that may help new (and veteran) veg parents on their journey! For example, Happy Herbivore (www.happyherbivore.com) and Vegan Zombie (www.theveganzombie.com)

One of my personal favorites is The Kind Life (www.thekindlife.com).

What are some of yours? The links can be for recipes, how to get all the proper nutrients, vegan clothing... etc. Whatever you think would be helpful!

Recipe: Super Easy Kid-Friendly (vegan) tacos!

This is a recipe I really enjoy, however I did eat it a lot more when I first went vegetarian and when my husband was switching over to veganism. It's a good β€œtransitional” meal and a a good meal to serve to omnivores. I served it to two little omnivores I babysit and they loved it, which is how I know it passes the Kid-Friendly Test. It's also SO EASY.

Super Easy Kid-Friendly Taco's

You will need: 1 package Smart Ground: Original Protein Crumbles

1 small jar taco sauce ( use Kroger brand )

3/4 packet taco seasoning ( use Kroger brand )

Adobo seasoning (optional)

A few tablespoons of water

you will also need whatever it is you want to eat your tacos on, tortillas, shells, lettuce, or my personal favorite- potato! And whatever toppings you or your kids like.

Directions:

Mix the smart ground, taco sauce, and both seasonings together in a pot over stovetop. To add the water I like to put a small amount into the taco sauce jar, shake it up and then pour the contents into the tacos. This gets out some of the extra taco sauce. Mix until warmed through and serve! Easy peasy! If you accidentally added too much water, just keep stirring over medium heat until it cooks off.

** I also like to add nacho sauce, my favorite recipe is from 30 minute vegan.

Introduction!

Hi everyone! I wanted to tell you a little about myself and what I'm envisioning for this subreddit.

I've been vegan for almost two years and was vegetarian 8 months prior to that. As a kid and teenager I never imagined I would give up meat, if someone had told me I'd be vegan one day I'd have laughed in their face while taking a giant bite out of a cheese covered burger. However, when I went away to college I slowly started taking meat out of my diet, not for any noble reason but, frankly, because I was too lazy to cook it. As this continued I began to slowly loose my taste for it. Soon after, I was consciously avoiding it, and on my 21st birthday, with the encouragement of my vegetarian cousin, I declared myself meat-free.

She recommended I read a book called "Skinny Bitch" for encouragement. That book really made me really question my diet. It brought up a question I hadn't even thought to ask, "Why am I eating what I'm eating?" I had never questioned why I eat cheese or drink milk... it's just what people do, right? Well the more I thought about it the more it didn't make sense.

I made the decision to go vegan a few months before I was able to commit to it. I started to phase in vegan meals and try new things but I knew unless I went cold turkey- or "cold cheese" in my case, I was never going to be able to stick with it. Yes, I was a cheese addict. So one day I decided it was going to be my last day vegetarian, I cooked up my favorite meal, alfredo, ate until I could eat no more, then never looked back.

A few months later I started dating a really great guy. He was an omnivore and I never asked him to become vegan but he did just that, and he also became my husband! He's an amazing partner and is so supportive, and did I mention he's an amazing cook? We've been married since October 2011 and we are expecting our first child this August, can you say honeymoon baby? : )

Which brings us around to this subreddit. We are raising the baby vegan and although we know that will be fairly easy at first (as long as the baby takes to breastfeeding) we know there will be bumps along the road. I for one am already concerned with our son feeling left out at birthday parties, or at school, or during halloween... etc. My husband and I are the only vegans we know so I thought it would be nice to build up a community of people going through similar experiences.

This can be the place to post questions, kid-friendly recipes, children's books that introduce veganism (do those exist?), offer support to other parents, relevant parenting articles... you name it! If you've been raised vegan/vegetarian we would love to hear your experiences as a kid! If you're a vegan/vegetarian parent, please, share your story! If you are part of a vegan/vegetarian family in any capacity, you are welcome here!

Thanks for your time, and I look forward to this community growing : )
