Tofu is neutral enough that we can like grade it and put like barbecue sauce or Japanese

barbecue sauce on it and eat it in a different way or we can fry it till it's crispy.

And my kids are like, yes, this is tofu and I like tofu and I will

eat it. And I think there's something there where it's like presenting it as exactly what it is

and not trying to say, oh yeah, it's not chicken nuggets nuggets. I'm just like, it's crispy tofu.

Here you go.

Welcome to didn't I just feed you. A podcast about feeding kids.

Hi, I'm Megan. And I'm Stacey. This week's episode is all about weekday vegetarian meals.

So, weekday can mean anything that's kind of like quick, easy, has minimal ingredients. So mark my words. I sound like an old, an old school mom, mark my words.

This episode is going to be so full of great quick, easy meal ideas that you're going to want to

listen to this episode again and again, bookmark it, do whatever you got to do. This is a great

one for busy families, especially those of you who have wanted to cook more vegetarian meals,

but maybe, like, I've been stumped because, man, I have been there. Yeah. How do you feel

about it, Megan? Like, did you ever have a hump to get over? And then you did and it was smooth

sailing. I feel like I'll get in a group with vegetarian cooking and I'll be good for like months or

even a year. Then I'll fall out of it and then I have to get over the hump again. So it's so interesting. I don't know if we've ever talked about this. There was a time in my

childhood where my mom was vegetarian for like, you've mentioned that, yeah. A long time. I want to

say 10 years, but that might be inaccurate. Oh, really? Yeah. And then there's always like the one horrible Easter that we all remember because she tried to like bake an eggplant instead of a ham.

I think and I think she often like made herself a vegetarian meal but then had something like chicken breasts for us.

Yes.

Or we would like have hamburger helper and she would have more of like a salad

or a veggie grain bowl kind of thing. I find vegetarian meals to be easy and accidental.
