It's great that you are being so supportive!

here is a new book called “Help! My Child Stopped
Eating Meat” by Carol J. Adams (author of “Living
Among Meat Eaters”) and registered dietician
Virginia Messina. Also check out “Raising
Vegetarian children” by Jo Stepaniak and registered
Dietician Brenda Davis.

Here’s an article called “Cooking a Meal for a Vegan
or Vegetarian Friend or Family Member”

ing_a_meal_for_a_vegan_or_vegetarian.html

and here's another with tips:

My granddaughter is a vegetarian but the rest of her
family is not. My daughter makes alot of stir-
fries, pasta dishes and Mexican dishes and leaves
out the meat until the end. Then she takes out Savannah's portion and adds the meat to the rest.
She adds beans, tofu or a meat substitute to
Savannah's. I have lots of info on meat subs on my
website here:

A good book for you might be Marc Bittman's
"Flexitarian table", which has alot of dishes which
can be vegetarian, or not.

Savannah came to my house and learned to cook some
dishes for herself, so it would be a good idea to
get your daughter involved in cooking. There are
many vegetarian blogs and websites with good recipes
and ideas. There are lots of recipes in the
archives on my website, plus on my blog, which you
can reach through my website;
