Feeding Vegan Kids: Raw Vegan Lunch in a Nifty Toddler-Sized Tiffin

So, I collect stainless steel section plates and tiffins the way some women collect shoes.  Or purses.  Or whatever it is that other women collect.

It’s crazy, really.
I see a sleek and shiny section plate (ooh!  shiny!) and I go weak in the knees.
WEAK!
My steel section plates have all been purchased at India grocery stores, in [...]

Fermenting: Cultured/Fermented Veggies, Water Kefir Grains, Vegan Coconut Kefir, Vegan Almond Milk Kefir, Kefir “Sodas”, and Homemade Vegan Coconut Milk Yogurt

Right this minute my kitchen is FULL of bacteria.
And I couldn’t be more pleased
I’m talking about the “good bacteria”.  Cultured, probiotic-filled fermented foods that are so good for the gut.
So, it all started with an innocent batch of kimchi.  Hubby and I were wanting to dip our toes into the Land of Fermented [...]

Monthly Organic Vegan Bulk Food Orders

Once, a long time ago, our organic grocery bill used to be THROUGH THE ROOF.  We had less children than we do now, but our grocery bill was a MONSTER.
Shopping in-person at the health food store for all of our organic groceries used to result in a grocery bill so sizeable that it made my [...]

Feeding Vegan Kids: Sunday Morning Raw Section Plates and Raw Vegan Banana-Blueberry Ice Cream

Today I woke with a spring in my step and little boy requesting ice cream for breakfast.
And I was MORE than happy to make it for him,  because ice cream for breakfast is one of the sweet pleasures in life!
(and also because I really wanted some too)
I made the kiddos a raw vegan feast for [...]

Feeding Vegan Kids: Section Plate Breakfasts of Veggies and Dip

As a mama-to-many, there are some things I just don’t say “NO” to.
Like when my little guy wakes up and demands guacamole and veggies….for breakfast!
He had no interest whatsoever in our usual breakfast fare  — no green smoothies, no breakfast sundaes….
He had nothing but guacamole on his mind.
I can do that!
So I headed to the [...]

Feeding Vegan Kids: Using Homemade “Larabars” To Make Raw Vegan Cashew Cookies-and-Cream Breakfast Sundaes

My kids LOVE breakfast sundaes. Love love love them.
Taking fresh organic vegan ingredients and creating a layered, delicious little breakfast is such a fun way for me the kids to start the day!

A while back, my older daughter had a sweet friend spend the night, and I decided to make breakfast sundaes as a fun [...]

A Dip-Night Dinner In A Vegan House

On Sunday night we had…Dip Night!
Dip-night is a favorite around here.
We love dips.
In fact, we’re a pretty dippy bunch.

This is my plate.  It was high-Raw and high-Yum!
Clockwise from top:

sharing a section in the section plate, there is homemade (Raw) organic kale chips (OM MY WORD I COULD EAT THESE ALL DAY) alongside a handful of [...]

Feeding Vegan Kids: Section Plate Snacks For 6

Sometimes we feed our friends our hippie-food, too.
They don’t mind, mostly.
My kids had a friend over after homeschool co-op last week.  The minute we got home from co-op, I headed to the kitchen, whipped out my section plates, and got busy.
These six kids were needing a snack, PRONTO!
I sent the kids to the playroom to [...]

Feeding Vegan Kids: Raw Vegan Breakfast Sundaes

Sundaes on Wednesday!
Today we decided to have sundaes for breakfast.
Because sometimes it’s fun to have a sundae on Wednesday.
Since we homeschool, we don’t have to rush to catch a school bus, which means I can make fun leisurely breakfasts for all my homeschooled punks.
So, early this morning, while the kids bustled around doing morning chores, [...]

Feeding Vegan Kids: Very Seedy Soaked & Uncooked Oats

Happy New Year! Hope your holiday season was lovely!
We had a wonderful winter holiday, and after a nice long stretch of having hubby home over the past couple of weeks, we were sad to see him head back to work this week.  On his first day back to work, we were tempted to hide his [...]
