Guest guest Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 I fed my son a lot of quinoa mixed with various other foods (fruits, veggies). It has a lot of protein and is pretty bland, so it mixes well. , MARY-ELIZA FLANNAGAN <mflannagan0705 wrote: > > I should introduce myself also.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Thanks for the hint. I'll look next week when I do the groceries. We're trying a lentil casserole tomorrow night. Hopefully she likes it! Lisa Veg*n <vegetariankids wrote: I fed my son a lot of quinoa mixed with various other foods (fruits, veggies).

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Carol, I have not found any vegan corn dogs yet. I looked all over the Natural Food Expo this year as well. My husband was cajoled by my son to make some from scratch. They were a hit. We used smart dogs. Laura in MD I've been looking for vegan corn dogs.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 I would be happy finding a non-GMO veggie corn dog. While Morningstar claims to use non-GMO soy, their corn is. The Trader Joes corndogs are yummy, but I have not been able to get info on the origins. VAP79 wrote: Carol, I have not found any vegan corn dogs yet.
