Vegan family

[treeholm]

Thank you all for your helpful advice. I would definitely not consider taking on a child with a nut allergy, that's for sure. I emailed the Mom back and said I can do vegan snacks (since we focus a lot on fruits and veggies anyway), but she would have to pack a lunch. I also serve hummus quite often, which should be okay. We'll see what she says. I looked at my lunch menu and realized that there isn't a single day that doesn't include meat, cheese, or eggs, so that's why I told her she would need to pack a lunch.

Also, no dairy at all. No butter. No chocolate. No sourcream. No yogurt. No peanut butter (commercial brands often contain icing sugar). No milk. Nothing that contains gelatin (gelatin is made from bone marrow - this includes marshmallows). Nothing that contains any whey (comes from milk). No honey. No to some salad dressings (most contain egg yolks as emulsifiers). No tortillas or commercial baked goods because they contain lard.

That's all I can think of for now.
