Guest guest Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 Hi Everyone, My name is Trish. I liked to introduce myself to the group. My husband and I have been Veggies for 10+ years and we have a baby boy who just turned 6 months old. I'm planning on raising him Veg as well. I've just started him on the cereals. Reading your posts has been helpful on how to explain not eating meat to your children. I'm also looking for a good party food recipe. I've been invited to a Mommy and Baby Party and everyone is insisting that I bring something vegeterian for them to try. So, I'm looking for something tasty,new, and different that will knock all these meat eaters socks off! : ) Any suggestions? I look forward to reading future posts and learning more about the group. Thanks Trish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 Hi Trish, Welcome! Did you get any responses to your recipe request? You said vegetarian, not vegan, right, so that should make it pretty easy. Veggie lasagne, Mexican pizza, shepherd's pie, stuffed tomatoes ... I'd suggest you look around at a few veggie sites (type " vegetarian recipes " into Google and you'll be overwhelmed with possibilities). Good luck with that, and have fun with your veggie baby!

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 Hi Doh, Thank you for the Welcome. This is the first time I've joined a group via the internet and I have to admit I was starting to feel a little shut out by the group, as no one had acknowledged me yet. Thanks for the recipe suggestions. I am a vegeterian but I guess I'm looking for some Vegan recipes as I want to create something fantastic that these people would never normally eat or have tried before. I saw someone post a recipe for some Mock Crab cakes, I thought I would maybe try that and something else. I'll continue the search on the net to see what I can find...unless you or anyone else has some suggestions? Doh, I see that you moved to Seattle. Welcome to the West Coast! Sounds like you love it already. I live in Vancouver Canada and have loved it all my life. I'm not sure where you were before but you will find Seattle a very Vegan/Vegeterian friendly place as is Vancouver and Victoria. Trish --- Doh! <dohdriver wrote: > Hi Trish, > Welcome!

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 Hi Trish, I'm in Nova Scotia but visited Vancouver last September. I really enjoyed my visit and had some really great meals while I was there. I live in Cape Breton and I wish that good vegetarian food was easier to find here. I have toyed with the idea of a veggie cafe here but " specialty " restaurants don't seem to do too well here.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 Hi Trish, I'm also from British Columbia (near Nelson, BC) I've been waiting to see if any more western Canadians join the list:) We have a veggie family of 4. 2 parents & two children (3 and 1). I keep hoping that someone from the West Kootenays will join this list and we can start a veggie parents playgroup:) I found it a little stressful wanting to raise a vegetarian family when I was raised in an omniverous family (in fact my parents raise animals to eat). I had to do a lot of research to reassure myself that my kids health would benefit and not be compromised during the development phase of their life. (This despite the fact that both my husband & I have been healthy vegetarians for about 14 years.) Anyway both are very healthy & bright and eat a way more balanced diet than most of their peers:) My relatives are amazed by the variety of veggies they eat. Anyway, welcome to the list:) Melanie.

Oooh, that's hard, as your choice is seen as an implicit criticism of theirs.

Communication on this list tends to be slow because it is very strictly moderated, and posts are only fed in once or twice a day, and sometimes not on weekends. Be well, Hadass.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Hi Trish, We moved from Vancouver about a year ago down to West Palm Beach, FL. I've been veggie my whole life and so will my daughter who is now 13 months old. I was born on Vancouver Island, lived in Victoria most of my life and went to university in Vancouver -- so you can imagine the shock of the lack of veggie food/restaurants here in Florida. What we miss most of all about Vancouver is definitely the veggie food and restaurants... *sigh* Erin & Shanti (7-15-03) , Trish Wells <trish_wells> wrote: > Hi Doh, > > Thank you for the Welcome.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 Hi Melanie! Have you been enjoying the pouring rain we've been having! Wow, what a change in the weather. Nelson is such a beautiful area. My parents live in the Okanagan (Oliver). We love heading out there for a visit. It sure is reassuring to hear that many families in this group have healthy, happy, animal loving children! I hope to raise the same!! : ) Does anyone one know what age you can start to introduce tofu to your baby? I've read some conflicting information. Some say 6 months and other say it's best to wait till after 12 months? At what age did you try tofu? Thanks!

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 I asked my doc at 6 month check up if it was ok to start tofu and he said yes, definitely. So that's when we started it... I don't know if anyone else has any other conflicting info. My daughter doesn't love the stuff...at first she ate it plain with no problem but now we have to creatively season it (or else disguise in other foods! -- she *loves* smoothies so I take advantage of that by adding tofu with the bananas/strawberries etc.) I personally love tofu so it disheartens me a bit that she doesn't love it too...

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 Hi Hadass Your veggie kids sound like my youngest son. He is the only vegetarian that doesn't know that he is vegetarian. LOL He loves veggie " meats " . I do explain that they aren't meat that comes from animals like other people eat (so that he won't eat " ham " somewhere else). The veggies he will eat are potatoes, sweet potatoes and cucumber. He isn't even much of a fruit eater. Jacqueline - " Lion's Ima " <heviatar Monday, August 23, 2004 4:18 PM Re:Introduction - Hi!

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 I don't blame here there, tofu plain leaves a lot to be desired, I must have it in a dish or seasoned as well. The smoothies is a great idea! In a message dated 8/25/2004 6:18:12 AM Pacific Standard Time, ekc11 writes: I asked my doc at 6 month check up if it was ok to start tofu and he said yes, definitely.
