Neocate is an elemental formula. It isn't vegan. Actually it isn't even vegetarian. It's made by chemically breaking down the proteins in meat into amino acids. It's a method of last resort for...

The site on low milk supply has particularly good info I think. And kellymom is a very popular and respected site for breastfeeding information-- check it out!! :)

The one interesting...

All very good ingredients. :) Here are some potentially useful links in case you or anyone else in the forum would like them:

Relactation and Adoptive Breastfeeding: The Basics

Ask Lenore...

I got the book yesterday and made the Basic Scrambled Tofu for breakfast this morning. OUT-FRICKEN-STANDING. :D :eek:

I felt so skeptical of it too...the spice mixture didn't smell or sound...

Right on! Starting ASAP is wise. It can take time to up that supply once the milk-making cells are stimulated. If you don't mind me asking, will you be using a combination of herbs? What have you...

That's what I do-- I cloth diaper at home but if we're running long errands or traveling I use sposies.

Can't say that I've had any opposition. The grandparents are not the type who fear "baby...

Yes right here!! :D We breastfeed, babywear, co-sleep, and practice gentle discipline. Also, though not technically AP-related, we cloth diaper part-time and I will be homeschooling the children.

Glad you are being helped by some professionals!! I hope your little girl starts gaining well soon on the new plan. You're doing an excellent job of getting this sorted out. Please keep us posted...

You can order it online right from the Dr. Cow site. Some vegan specialty online stores (Pangea, Vegan Essentials) also carry it. I made a thread about it a while back in the "Vegan Cheese"...

Wow veganf you are close by!! :) I'm in Shrewsbury. I didn't know there was a source in Mystic, I'll have to check that out next time I go to Foxwoods to play poker. Hey I went to Sudbury Valley...

Human milk fortifier is typically used for premature babies. It is generally not vegan although there is one type made from donated human milk. I think it would be difficult to find and probably...

Awesome clip, thanks.

Great how she mentions that the WHO/UNICEF recommend breastfeeding for at least 2 years. And she knows what she's talking about with that-- the credential "IBCLC" is the...

Very cool, congrats!!! :D

I don't know what your infant feeding plans are...or if you've even thought about that yet...but I wanted to let you know that it is possible to induce lactation and...

is amazing!!! :D It has NO weird off-flavor whatsoever. I made a pizza tonight and it was amazing. You could probably feed it to an omni without them realizing it is vegan.
...

Glad to hear it! Is there a particular brand of wheat gluten that's better than another? I think maybe my mistake was using the type intended as an additive for bread...

My husband is an omni. DiaShel you made me laugh :D (and I agree) because if I'd waited around for even just a vegetarian I would've died alone as The Crazy Cat Lady. My husband has lots of amazing...

The lemon bars were nice enough but not fabulous. However,the leek and bean cassoulet was totally delicious. I'll definitely be making that again.

CrunchyMomma I totally want to try the seitan. ...

The Veganomicon is my favorite cookbook of all time!! :D Of course I'm one of those wacky Americans so there's no accounting for my taste... :p :)

I'm very happy to hear she's coming out with...

If I can ever get the kids to bed tonight then I am making lemon bars.

I'd tend to agree with Mahk's line of thinking, although others have raised interesting questions that we probably don't have answers to yet. I mean, we can speculate about the environmental...

Yes that is tablespoons. :)

It's different in that technically it's not "actual" cheese. Dr-Cow is real cheese because it's made using more traditional cheese-making techniques and one...

It came out great. Creamy and tangy. I'll definitely be making it again. :) This is what was in it:

3/4 cup raw cashews
6 T canola oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 T ground sesame seeds (tahini)...

vegankitty, yes it is soo good! I'm going to stretch this shipment for as long as possible.

VeganMonkey, both actually! :) They make a fresh cashew nut cream cheese that is spreadable. The...

The decision to go forward with this was very controversial within PETA. There was basically a mutiny over it. Lots of high drama LOL.

Has anyone seen the Colbert Report segment on this? I'd...

I paid $75 for 5 wheels plus 1 container of cashew cream cheese. Granted, that included overnight shipping in a refrigerated container. It would be a lot more affordable if I could pick it up...

I'm making a cashew "goat" cheese right now. The recipe is slightly different, as is the process...but so far the "batter" (for lack of a better word) is tasty. I will post it if the finished...

Yeah that's the only bummer. :umm: But, it's organic...raw...has to be aged and handled carefully...plus cashews are pretty expensive in terms of nuts. It's a really small company apparently. Maybe...

I just got the Fedex Shipment and tried the cashew nut cheese. I have not tried the other flavors and I can't bust into all of them right now (read on.)

Okay seriously-- two things.

1. It's...

I'll have to try freezing the tofu, thank you! And I've heard that the chickpea cutlets were good. That'll be next on my list.

So many good things to try. I'm having a lot of fun with this...

Tonight I made the Basic Braised Tofu. It was great. I've been trying to figure out how to make slightly chewy tofu (that isn't fried) since like forever. I think this is pretty much the greatest...

I thought it was really easy! The hardest part was getting some of the ingredients; for the garam masala, whole cumin seeds and tamarind paste I had to stop at an Indian market but that was no big...

I'm excited to try it! :D The reviews I've read have been really positive. I had heard about it in the magazine VegNews; they named it Product of the Year last year. Supposedly it's more like a...

I've been loving this cookbook! :thumbsup: Mostly hits with only one miss so far...

FREAKING AWESOME:
Tamarind Lentils (my omni husband's new favorite dish)
Baked Potato and Greens Soup (my 2...
