@ Minna – That makes sense though, that you can care about something even if you are afraid of it. What a testament to your compassion! =)

@ Hope – Haha, yes! Doesn’t she just look so dainty and glamorous?

@ Jennifer – Thanks, and I agree on the cuteness for sure!

@ Julie – Well tofu is so neutral that you can hide it in just about anything. Applesauce, fruit smoothie, etc are easy. I know you’re probably not doing peanut butter yet, but can she have other nut butters? I bet tofu + almond butter would be great. Also may lightly pan fry the tofu and sprinkle with cinnamon, try making it a sweetish treat?

Do you have a juicer? If you’re worried about veggies a great thing to do is juicing, because you can hide quite a bit of spinach or other greens in a really sweet and tasty carrot-apple juice. It’s great for kids. Also, anything mashed with avocado seems to do the trick with little ones, and avocados are sooo great – perfect for babies ‘case they’re high calorie and full of healthy oils, plus some protein and good micronutrients.

Okay that’s all I got for now, but I’l keep thinking on it.

@ Susie – Thanks dear! An yes, it will be a very happy turkey day indeed! =)

I wish our kids were closer in age, I would love to have what I know are going to be your fabulous baby food recipes. Kaya all of a sudden got very picky about what she will eat and what she won’t. We tried hard to keep to a vegan diet but it was at the point that all she would eat was fruit and bread and that just wasn’t okay. We had to introduce eggs to her diet because that is the only way I can get veggies into her (pureeing them and mixing them into an egg scramble), ditto for tofu. It needs to be either cooked into eggs or mixed with fruit for her to even touch it. Do you have any suggestions for tofu recipes?

I’m so happy we don’t have the tradition of Thanksgiving back home in Estonia, just another mad meat-eating holiday. Although.. I guess it has been replaced by Midsummer’s Eve where they do bbq like crazy.

It’s actually quite interesting how I’ve never really liked cuddling animals and have a bad phobia for birds. Especially chickens and domesticated birds. I find it funny since I’m a vegan, the biggest reason being ethical views and animal rights. I could never ever adopt a turkey because I’d just be SO afraid to go near it. Although I love watching birds and animals at a distance. I get so much more energy by just feeling the nature and seeing them in their normal habitat. I guess.

@ CarnivorE – Haha, it is, but I thought correcting it would be overkill.

Thanks for being good-natured, even if you are a dirty meat-eater. =)

@ Tenise Rae – I know! It feels really good to make a positive gesture in the ‘other’ direction, on that day.

@ Carnivor – You spelled your name wrong.
