Feel a bit silly asking this but... I am trying to get into eating figs cos i think i could do with more calcium (i used to eat them years ago but just forgot about them) anyway - i just cant seem to...
Heinz are definately the best (... I have to say that cos my husband works at heinz :D )
I think asdas own veggie fingers are vegan - i have bought a box for my son (not that he has taken a great liking to them - sigh :rolleyes: ) I checked the ingredients but as no-one else has...
None of us had building work experience before we went it was basic labouring stuff that we did so very easy to pick up - but rather back breaking at times, especially in the heat of the ecuadorian...
You saw more places in ecuador than on your trip than i did in 4 mths there!! I loved the type of experience i had and it was what i wanted but it would be nice to go back and do more travelling...
Oh yeh - i know about the resturant thing - very surreal! Whereabouts did you go in ecuador and how long did you stay? (if you dont mind me asking - I'm very nosey about anything to do with ecuador...
Now you come to mention it we didnt really come across any of the exotic type animals- we had a really cute kitten in our first placement that adopted us and was to be found often curled up on our...
I checked out the link to your placements and it looks brilliant!!!! - your accomadation is the lap of luxury compared to our living conditions when we were there (but that was part the fun really!!)...
I went to that mexican resturant too!! It was really good if i remeber correctly!
Oh and i totally agree the ecuadorians (or at least the ones we were with) are just gorgeous people, they really...
I think (although i may be wrong) that those who could afford to serve you meat would be less likely to be offended if you explained why you dont eat it than those who wouldnt serve you meat anyway...
De nada mi amiga!
Maybe i shouldnt have told you about the typhoid thing - sorry didnt mean to make you paranoid!! I was really scared of getting ill and i think this had something to do with me...
Ooooooo!! I was so excited when i saw your thread - i went to equador for 4 mths voluntary work (building type projects) in 2002 - i was 26 at the time - it was the most hardest time in my life but...
Well, a couple i know had been trying to concieve for about 6 years and it was to do with the mans low sperm count, after 2 unsuccessful IVF attempts they went to an alternative practitioner and he...
Ah right - i think i've seen trex before - i wonder if it is a hydrogenated fat though - wouldnt be wanting to add lots of that to our diets - i will check it when i next go shopping! :)
Thank you so much for the info! I feel like I can use the book now!! - good to know i can just use oil instead of the white fat - which is probably the shortening stuff you found fiamma - i will...
I've got this book too but havent made anything out of it yet because unless i'm missing something it doesnt seem to have any serving sizes on any of the recipes and it just puts me off it cos i...
Never heard of red quinoa - thanks for the tip, I'll have a look out for it!!
You are right - it could be anything! I am just paranoid and letting my worst fears plague me as I am so happy to be vegan and bringing up my son vegan that i dont want anything to jeperdise that -...
I'm not sure what to do about this but my little boy (17mths) has had like a pimply rash on both his upper arms for a good few mths now and i read recently that a rash on the upper arm could be...
Hmm my first post on this thread!

I know what you mean about the article recommending butter etc - obviously that is a no no for us lot, but i was pondering to myself - should we reject the rest of the information because a portion...
My son does ask to nurse but not with words yet - he points at them and goes 'uh uh' - i remember when he was much yonger really looking forward to him being able to ask when he wanted them rather...
maxb - i have made my mum a few vegan things that she has liked - i need to do more though - she is ultra fussy so i have to think very hard about what to make and a complete meat lover :( - she just...
Hi veganmata, I'm a BFing vegan mum too (mines 16mths)- and darn the UK too for making it seem wrong!! :) Also I plan to let him self wean - I think thought the farleys soy formula here was vegan...

Rice - brown or white
Baked beans
Lentil and veg stews that i make mashed loads or purreed so he cant see the veggies!! This is the only...
Oh and sorry!! Kate Bush is a singer i think - how the fat article got linked to her website i have no idea!!! :)
Well apparently there is some contraversy out there about whether the unsaturated fats are good for us after all - i have been reading that they go rancid almost as soon as we ingest them and they...
i'm guessing this is probably old news to some of you out there but i've only just come across info like this and was wondering what you all thought of it...its freaked me out a bit...:eek:
...
Thank you for sharing your experiences with your children - it is very reasuring!! We seem to have a history of fussy eaters in our family and my husband and his brother are fussy too! It must be...
Hmmm...there is no escaping the poo then...it was reasuring to know that it is treated first - should we be washing our veggies in something or will just plain old water do?
I think i am going to give up on flax/hemp oils and stick with the seeds cos i just took a bottle of flaxseed back to holland and barret because it smelt like fish and tasted awful so i presume it...
Being vegan hasnt made me lose weight, in fact, i have never had to worry about my weight but since becoming vegan i feel i have to watch it a bit more because there is just so much gorgeous new...

I make scones using blackstrap mollasses instead of sugar.
I usually make some almond milk and then strain the almond milk through some muslin - i use the strained almonds and mix it with the...
