When the server's back up and we have more done on it, I'll post info from
our daycare, Amazon Coop Family Center 
                http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~life/families/amazon/

We have a cookbook project going.  We are a model for the USDA guidelines
for ovo-lacto veggie childrens' mealplans, and we're publishing a cookbook
with our mealplan meals and coop family favorites, probably this fall.  I
expect it will run something like $10-20, and be one of those plastic 
spiral bound jobbies.

If you want to send me email, I'll save your name and address for sending
information when they are done.  Most of the meals are well suited to 
mixed audiences, and are very cost-conscious without being dull or 
poor nutrition.

My partner, Tyler Hart, is the cook there...
