I can't add much to your list right now as I have an interview to go to shortly. I was wondering though if you are vegan--? The reason I ask is that I'm almost 100% certain that those Quorn...

From another vegan mom (me!)... several of us have already posted loads of day's worth of food ideas in this thread: "what did your vegan child/ren eat today?"

If you post anything in that thread,...

Ohhhh, thanks for that link! I've been wanting to watch this one! I didn't know where I'd be able to rent it either.

Wow... everyone around here seems to be getting food dehydrators lately! I'll say the same thing here that I did in the other thread. If you have a manufacturer's name on it, try giving them a...

luvz,

If you happen to be in Tucson, I'd be happy to meet up and hook you up with some vegan soap. I make my own and everyone loves it! I also make shampoo bars, body lotion and eye cream. I'll...

Call Waring and ask them to send you an owner's manual. I'm sure they have a toll free phone number and they probably won't charge you anything for a new manual. (I've called companies for manuals...

Have one for me too, Jane! ;)

According to the Vegan Booze Directory, Kahlua is vegan friendly! :)

Hmmm... I don't know if you have the space for it, but have you tried having him help with growing a garden with you? My son is delighted with our garden and constantly 'steals' bits of spinach and...

My son likes veggies, so I don't know that I can offer you much... but, I've heard that sometimes if you just leave little veggie plates around where your little one is with some dip that eventually...

I don't know where in the US you live, but where I am bread thaws out pretty quickly at room temperature. I've heard it's even a good idea to make a sandwich on frozen bread to take somewhere......

Thanks! It's nice to read that from a nutritionist! And, I always love seeing what you feed Blake... gives me ideas sometimes.


Well, today Paul did not seem very hungry, but here goes! He took...

Ooooo... I have a few sweet potatoes to use and lots of carrots! I think I'll try this tomorrow night! Thanks!

Fingers crossed on my little guy liking it! (If it's sweet, I'm sure he will!)

As an alternative to the parmesan in pesto recipes, you might also consider using a touch of miso paste. It provides the same saltiness and--depending on your brand of miso--a touch of cheesiness as...

For Paul, age 2 yr, 3 mo.:

Breakfast:
3 adult-size chocolate banana walnut pancakes (requesting these almost every day now!)
1 cup chocolate soy milk

Snacks today included: Cliff Zbar, mixed...

This recipe has sort evolved from a plain multigrain pancake recipe that I used to make in my omni days (complete with yogurt and eggs). At this point, it is my own recipe. Despite being made from...

Heh... I feed my son any nut I can get my hands on! :D The only concern I've ever heard is related to peanuts, which aren't technically a nut anyway. When I asked my pediatrician about it, he said...

Hmmm... if he didn't like store-bought, then there's not a lot of hope for homemade, but it's always worth a try. I never really added much to mine because my son has always been good about eating a...

"Chia" is Maya for strength or strengthening. You can find loads of information on it here.

Kale is a cold-weather crop. I just planted some in my garden within the last week! :)

Geez! In Arizona, just today, I bought 4 for $2.69 at Trader Joe's. Must be nice to shop in Texas.

Oh, hey... have you tried feeding him polenta yet? You can get it to a nice firm texture, mix in all sorts of veggies, and you can also slice it and then cut out shapes for him! Just a thought......

NorVegan,

Why bother with just the natural growth hormones? Read the China Study if you want compelling health reasons to not drink the stuff for anyone. The main studies from that book were...

LOL, Tigerlily! Hehehe... at his age, he'll more likely be pulling up the plants then being productive in a garden! ;)

Sorry, but really... my son is a year older and I had absolutely NO red...

For Paul (2yrs and 3mos):

Breakfast:
~3/4 cup mixed rye, wheat, barley and oats (organic blend I bought at Trader Joe's), cooked with soy milk, cinnamon and raisins with walnuts and ground flax...

Ugh... I really feel for you in having to stop nursing so early. I had to stop nursing when my son was 18 months old in order to prevent a kidney infection--the meds they put me on turned my milk...

What to feed a 1-yr old? Heh... whatever he'll eat! ;)

Seriously.... Are you still breastfeeding him? If so, then you don't have to worry as much. Have you started giving him smoothies? If...

Awww, thanks for all of the compliments, everyone! That little guy of mine is all too aware of how cute he is. You should see him ask for something he REALLY wants! He's already learning how to...

All of these cuties around here! Well, here's mine. This was taken in November at the Portland Children's Museum (awesome place!!). This isn't the best picture of him, but it makes me smile.... ...

I love to eat mine on red bell pepper strips. :)

Oh, CC... tried some Bragg's in mine today--yum!

Rowan, I do the same thing! It's lazy goodness... and Paul-approved! (He's my son--2 yrs. old.) :)

Yay!! What a wonderful holiday present for you! I'm glad to hear that you are both doing well.

:)

I use a food mill to 'mash' my potatoes... works great and highly recommended! :) And, I like to add a few cloves of peeled garlic (whole) to the water when boiling my potatoes and then just mash...

Savannah, did you buy it already prepared (generally in a plastic wrap tube) or as the grain to prepare?

I actually *have* made my own pyrotechnics before! :D People really get excited on camping trips when you throw something in the fire that produces a blinding light. :) As far as the LSD goes,...

What good is a chemistry degree if you don't have fun with it? :D;)

I don't know if canned cranberry sauce does have gelatin in it or not, BUT cranberries have enough pectin in them naturally that you don't need to add gelatin to make cranberry sauce. It's so fast to...

I apologize for not posting here in a bit. It's definitely that busy time of year for me!

I'll look over that link as soon as I can. I'll try to do a little research of my own when I can. I...

I just saw VegNews in Wild Oats the other day! It was the one with the 2005 awards on the cover. So, they might have it there for you. It's the first time I've seen it in any store.

You could maybe try an extract instead of the alcohol to taste? I don't know how this would taste, but I know you can buy rum extract at the very least.
