It wasn't as spectacular as little shmoo. She didn't ask for more, but for a kid who didn't eat any vegetables or fruit until just under a year ago, it was certainly a miracle. Her twin sister, who loves vegetables and fruit, loved the salad and requested some for her lunchbox tomorrow. I think the idea of adding fruit and nuts really helped.

Is it better (taste wise)?<BR/><BR/>I think rice milk is more mild and sweet-tasting than soymilk, so you might give it a try. I liked it long before I liked soymilk (although now I love soymilk, so it's just a question of time and adjustment). <BR/><BR/>We like to "mix it up" and buy soy, rice, almond, hazelnut (my fav), and oat milks alternately, just to keep it nutritionally diverse. In fact, next month at our veggie group meeting I'm hosting a "non-dairy taste test" -- I'm putting out boxes of all sorts of non-dairy milks and people get to vote for the best.Jennifershmoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08663322884550580226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1143517039862903472006-03-27T19:37:00.000-08:002006-03-27T19:37:00.000-08:00I make vegan corn fritters and have found that the...I make vegan corn fritters and have found that they are even nicer with diced shallots in them.
