Guest guest Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Welcome to the list Charley. It's good to hear you are willing to accommodate your daughter - so many don't. Have you tried red lentils - they are a good base for adding other things and they supply the protein. You can check on The Vegan Society website http://www.vegansociety.com/html/ where I think there is a section on vegan babies and children. There are vegan yogurts both fruit and plain, made from soya and with a gentle flavour. Peas and beans are good because you can make them into spreads and burgers - she may like the taste of yellow split peas, which make lovely burgers. I will think some more.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 She is a wise and chosen child ; ) I have also a 2 1/2 year old. feel free to ask any questions. my advice, is to introduce (slowly) a wide variety of fruits and vegetables early. that way she will always have a well rounded diet, and no worries about her missing any vitamins. my kid is vegan and very healthy. -anouk - cheer_bears_surprise 8/24/2005 5:53:30 PM I'm new to the group Good Afternoon,My name is Charley and I am new to the group.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Hi Charley, My experiance with kids is to not be confrontational. If they dont eat their food, dont make a huge issue out of it, but always make sure that it ( whatever they dont like) is available again at mealtimes, even if they have said that they didnt like it in the past - they sometimes want to try "some of yours". I know it is had, but most children do tend to go through eating fads. my oldest grew out of not trying things when she was 8, my 8 year old still wont try things. Unfortunately kids dont come with a manual, but I believe that as long as they get plenty of love and attention and are not spoilt, an are involved in everything ( share food preperation/ shopping etc ) they will turn out fine..........I HOPE!

I am way behind on posts, so I am going to hold off on recommendations until i can catch up and see what everyone else said. No need to repeat. But I did want to say hello! I also wanted to thank you! Your daughter is a very lucky little girl to have a Mom as kind as you.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 Fruits and Veggies arent a problem with her. She constantly will ask for peas and corn and broc and banannas and pears and apples and anything that is a fruit or a veggie shell eat no problem. Like tonight, she went into the kitchen, pulled a chair up to the freezer and pulled out the squash. brought it to me and asked me to make it,so tonight for dinner, we had squash(which I hate but ate because of her) I, and gardenburgers, and for desert we had a fruit combo of sliced banannas grapes, apples, raisins and canelope. And she ate everything. Which is something she hardly ever does. My question is, what are some good snacks? Just yogurt and fruit? , " zurumato@e...

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 That is indeed excellent advice. Its not an issue of getting her to try things though. Shell taste it, sometimes shell eat one bite, and sometimes it ends up in my hand. And she does like to eat off my plate, but she still will not eat meat off of it. I never lecture her for not eating something. And she is definatly involved in everything I do. Im a stay at home mom. So yah I get loads of help during the day, as long as dora isnt on nick jr. Definatly excellent advice though. And I find that things usually do have more then one shot, because unless its just the 2 of us, I usually fix something everyone else likes that bry hasnt in the past. Thats probably why it seems like I never leave the kitchen. , peter hurd <swpgh01@t...> wrote: > Hi Charley, > My experiance with kids is to not be confrontational.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 I guess what I was meaning to say is that she definatly gets another chance to try things because we normally have 2 other adults eating with us who refuse to even consider accomodating her. So usually Ill get hers ready and then Ill let her try something that she hasnt liked it the past. No matter what it is. Like she used to not like fried green tomotos but upon a later trying she did. So its just a matter of no matter what it is because I do understand that tastes do change. although there are some foods shes not liked for a year and a half...like hamburger, no matter how its cooked, or shrimp, or grape jelly, etc. > - > peter hurd > > Thursday, August 25, 2005 2:47 AM > Re: I'm new to the group > > > Hi Charley, > My experiance with kids is to not be confrontational.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 I like soya yogurts - both plain and fruity. A little one might like it. She seems to be okay with peanuts, so maybe you could try other nuts - but they would have to be ground tiny I guess (it's a long time since I had toddlers) - maybe as a nut loaf. Also in the UK baked beans are vegan. Maybe you could find some that don't have too much added salt and sugar. If she had baked beans on toast and some fruit and veggies it would be a good meal. She will get calcium from broccoli and other veggies, and from nuts if she eats those.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 some of the snacks I pack for lunch are chocolate chip cookies, brownies (homemade with fresh ingredients if possible) apples, applesauce, grapes. for afternoon snack at home I make them sandwichs,tomato mayonaise, fake cheese, fake bologna, pb & j. (Nuts aren't allowed in School, nor are sandwiches made with nuts) bananas, soy yoghourt, whole fruit ice cream pops, chips and hummos, berries of all kinds, china colas, and fruit colas, homemade popcorn, home made fries/chips. berrie pies. you'll find that if you want "snacks" that are healthy and wholesome, you hafta make it yourself. otherwise, store bought snacks that are healthy are hard to find. plus it's less packaging for the enviroment. I don't think that my kids missing any vitamins, also without the competion from food commercials on tv, its easier for me. -anouk - earthstrm 8/26/2005 3:37:39 PM Re: I'm new to the group No yogurt - YUCK!Fruit, raw veggies, nuts, soybean nuts, seeds like sunflower and pumpkin, chips and salsa, crackers and hummus (many different flavors out there), crackers and preserves, soy ice cream (my hubby and son who are not Vegan love it!), non-milk chocolateI know there is more but I am drawing a blankNikki , "cheer_bears_surprise" <ishtar626@g...> wrote:> Fruits and Veggies arent a problem with her.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 What about " jello " the kosher kind (no animals stuff) or fruz fruit (take strawberries and mash half of them in the blender and rough chop the rest. Put in little dixie cups and freeze) or dehydrated fruits or fruit leather or granola or soy milk smoothies or celery with peanut butter or no bake cookies (melt some peanut butter, add just a dab of soymilk, use it to hold together oats and nuts. When it cools, roll into balls and then roll in powdered sugar) or frozen grapes or frozen bananas or homemade cinnamon twists.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 Regular jello is NOT kosher! No orthodox jew will touch it with a ten foot pole. Jell-O hired a for hire rabbi to say yes but it does NOT meet kosher requirements. The guy was drummed out for doing that. Emes is kosher and it is made with carrageenan, locust bean gum and malto-dextrin. You don't have to use agar agar to make a " jello " that is vegan.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 Just Wholefoods Vegetarian Jelly Crystals - Raw Cane Sugar, Carrageenan, Locust Bean Gum, Natural Fruit Flavours, Citric Acid, Potassium Citrate. Mix with boiling water and leave to set. Very tasty. www.justwholefoods.co.uk The cupsize tubs of Rowntrees readymade jelly from supermarkets says it is vegetarian and the ingredients listed made it vegan, when I checked, although I have never bought one. The slabs of jelly cubes that you can make jelly with have gelatine in though.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 Hi Jo What are " little pots " ? Are those the plastic cups? We have those here too, both refridgerated and shelf kind. I refuse to buy the shelf kind because I wonder how much preservatives are in them that they need no refridgeration.
