I'm new. (obviously) I'm from Wausau, Wisconsin and although I like it here for the most part, I haven't found a single other vegetarian around (other than my daughters). It's really a pain, because Torri is 6 now and she's beginning to think that we're weirdos because noone else has the same food preferences that we do.

I have had trouble with her father on this issue, and it's nearly impossible to get her decent meals at school! If there are any other vegetarian moms out ther who'd like to give me some advice, I'd really appreciate it. And if anyone's from Wausau, please let me know! I'm going crazy here!

Hi! Welcome to VB!

Have you checked out the Raising Vegetarian Children forum yet? There's one thread there called What Did You Feed Your Kids Today? which will give you lots of good meal ideas for your kids.

Welcome! I really empathize with you. We live in Mississippi where I am fairly certain we are the only vegetarians in the whole state!! My 5 yr old son is in the same boat as your daughter. I just pack his lunch everyday and hope he will eat. He says he does not like going to lunch. My husband is not supportive of our vegetarianism either. Fortunately for me, my son is very adamant about being a vegetarian!

Welcome! My dad's not too cool with the whole vegetarian thing either, but my mom's pretty cool with it.
