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 Plates, Snacks, Veggies, Vegan Cocoa and Green Juice

Hi all!
Hope everyone’s week is going well!   Ours has been good (and busy).  ALWAYS busy with this big gang…but a good kind of busy!
We had a recent day where it rained on and off all day, so we stayed in and had a “home day”.  A “home day” is a blissful day spent entirely [...]

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 [...]

Monthly Vegan Bulk Food Order, A Case of Dates, and My Favorite Gluten-Free Tortillas

Hi again!
I’ve mentioned that we shop in bulk as a way to save money on organic groceries, and last month I showed you my organic bulk food order.  This is for a family of 7, and we eat a high-raw organic vegan diet, all 7 of us.  Many of these items will last for several [...]

Vegan Bulk Food Order and Bulk Kitchen Prep

Hi all!
It seems I took an impromptu little blog break, because…oh, what a month, WHAT A MONTH!
December has been one crazy month for our gang.  Crazy, I say!  We don’t celebrate Christmas at all, so there’s no Christmas Busy-ness here.  But overall it’s just a jam-packed month for our family — nearly half of our [...]

Review: Thinkbaby Feeding Set (and Pictures of It In Use)

The very generous Kevin from thinkbaby recently sent me this thinkbaby BPA-free Feeding Set, and oh my word.  This little feeding set is fantastic.  Love it!  We’ve been using it regularly, and a couple of my children even fight over who gets to use it.
Sometimes I fight them for it too.
It’s THAT cool.

I absolutely love [...]
