Need your ideas for a vegetarian menu for troop outings
|
|
|
Jay Johnson, the Scoutmaster for Troop 2942 (copied here), has noticed that his troop now has many more vegetarian scouts. He's looking for some advice on creating a tasty and nutritious vegetarian menu for their outings, with recipes that the scouts can easily cook themselves.
|
We thought it would be a wonderful idea to put together a Scouting vegetarian cookbook that everyone can use! If you have any favorite vegetarian recipes or tips that have worked well for your troop, please share them with 
|
Your input would be incredibly valuable in helping us create a resource that all our scouts can enjoy. Thank you so much for your help and support with this project!
|
Looking forward to all your delicious ideas, let's Create a Vegetarian Cookbook for Our Scouts!
