16. My adult kids are vegetarian

One of my kids joined a farm co-op. Each week during the growing season, they get a variety of fresh produce. The co-op offers different sizes and prices. Even if you don't join, maybe you can look up a CSA and get an idea of how much food you'll need. And check out FDA food chart and also tips for getting all of the nutrition you and your family needs. Summer is a good time of year to make some healthy choices. Lots of fresh produce out there!

I am not a vegetarian, but I go meatless several days a week. I've adapted several meals so they taste good without meat. Try not to rely on salt, fat and sugar to make your new menu taste like your old one. I look at all the processed food labels before I buy and even 'healthy' choices are too high in those categories. I make almost everything from scratch, and try to save really rich food for treats.

Have fun with it.
