I am so excited about this concept and format! My family is primarily vegetarian - it might be asking too much, but I would be so grateful for vegetarian substitutes for the meat components of the menu.

I love this feedback and can definitely incorporate it!! Do your kids eat tofu and tempeh?

I don't think my daughter has tried tempeh yet, but yes to tofu, and definitely willing to give tempeh (or any other veg protein) a few whirls! :) Thanks!

I’m confused. Where are the recipes?

Hi Kelsey! Any complete recipes are linked to in the game plan. A lot of components like roasted vegetables are non-recipe recipes that are also outlined in the game plan. And then some of the menu incorporates store bought shortcuts. You can download and print out the PDF to have a helping hand executing.

Made sweet pot fries according to the recipe, but they are not crispy… advice?

I don't have a full recipe on my site but you can use this one as a guide. Possible your oven is just a little under temp so increasing the heat could be an easy fix: https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/oven_baked_sweet_potato_fries/

Since this is a meal prep item it's not going to be the crispiest when made in advance. You can crank up the heat a bit and toss the matchsticks with cornstarch for more of a coated texture. They won't be the same as a deep fry when you make them in the oven. But mine do usually come out crispy straight out of the oven.

There are several that I like! Stubbs original is my overall fave for flavor and fairly low in sugar

Seconding Stubb's! I was pleasantly surprised when I saw it was relatively low in sugar.
