emaril lagassi has a cool recipe for fries make of chick pea flour. if you go to

the emeril green website its in the archive. they are awesome.

i also have a cool cookie recipe using chick peas. jerry sienfelds wife has a

cook book called deciptively delicous where she teaches parents how to hide

super foods such as beans, beats, squash, broccoli etc in things like pancakes,

pizza, cookies, nuffins. never tell your child until after theyv'e eatin

someting several times and video them eating it happily to refer back to it once

you tell them. if you gave me a day or two i will go through the book and post a

couple recipes. check your library for it in the meantime.

Re: Anyone raising veg kids without Soy?

 

Wow what a bother! The dip thing sounds good, I also make a spag bol

with red beans mashed up beyond recognition! The flavors of the sauce

would hide the beans well.

As for soy, I must admit that I eat a fair bit of it and my 2 yr old

has a bit too but we are working on using more beans. I wonder if the

bean thing is now just stubborness? Could you try making a dish with

beans mashed up and make treat like and see if they eat it. Or maybe

make a cake from chick pea flour and when they eat it say that it was

made from beans. Might change their perception of beans a bit!

Best of luck
