Does anyone have any ideas of what I could bring to lunch?

Q. I'm going to a public school from a Catholic school, and there is a student at this school who has a severe peanut allergy. Normally I would just say, "Screw other people's needs," but no nuts are allowed in the building at all. So my problem is, what will I bring for lunch? I'm a vegetarian, and, of course, I'm not really comfortable with being un-vegetarian, so if they are serving meat in the cafeteria, what can I bring besides salad that will fill me up?


Answer
Are you looking for easy recipes that you can make fast and bring to that lunch? There are so many options. Why don't you start looking at these healthy sandwiches - all without peanuts. I am eating these almost daily in summer, like a whole wheat bread with mustard greens, hummus, and tomatoes or a sandwich wrap with veggies, sesame seeds, and ginger:

I also have plenty of vegetarian full meal recipes that you can prepare. If someone in your home cooks for you, have them make plenty of one recipe and freeze it, so you can take a portion with you every other day or so:http://www.belsandia.com/healthy-meals.html

Why don't you try the vegetarian meatloaf recipe, then bring it to school and have other kids try it too. Wouldn't it be fun if they like it and won't even notice that it is meat-free? Maybe you can win over some like-minded eaters this way:

How should I convince my dad that I want to be a vegetarian?







My dad LOVES meat and I told him once already that I don't want to eat meat and he just say's U HAVE 2 but I don't want to at all. Let me tell you he gets mad easily.
