I'm an omnivore as are my family but I'd like to try and do something for the planet for Lent.
I generally plan meals but DH will cook more or less anything easy with a good recipe.
Everyone else can remain omnivorous and we'll have meat on Sundays (that's how Lent works).
Questions: I assume it's long enough that I need to take care of vitamins but I'll be OK for calcium? What should I be taking?
I'll probably have either porridge with vegan milk, or toast/spread/peanut butter for breakfast. I'm not a huge milk drinker but I may have cereal with plant milk if I can find one I like.
If DH is doing sausages or fish fingers or whatever I'll just get him to put in a vegan one for me.
So I need some ideas for:
3 kid pleaser meals per week - one of which can go in the oven on a timer and is VERY easy (DH takes them swimming on a Tues and we're late back)
2 or 3 adult meals that are v quick post work. 20-30 mins tops.
Nice vegan ready meals (DH and I sometimes go down that route but they can be curry etc).
The nicest vegan sausages/crispy bakes etc.
Nice vegan tinned soup.
A couple of kid friendly baking ideas.
Lunches beyond hummus and falafel! I can get some vegan sandwiches at work if I forget and usually I take leftovers or an easy sandwich (don't really want to cook separately!).
Also: DH doesn't like beans unless well concealed, nor lentils ditto. DCs are 3 and 6 and eat most things (so a beans on toast type meal is fine if it's me and them - often have that for our lunch). He'll eat chili with a lot of carne. DCs will happily eat dhal etc.
