So I just went inside, grabbed a veggie (I think it was a carrot, might have been something else though) and just sat next to them eating my carrot, and then along came peer pressure! Then they both went into the kitchen and starting snacking on veggies. Worked like a charm.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09053836223020834873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-81264580239663829932008-08-03T15:06:00.000-07:002008-08-03T15:06:00.000-07:00Your collection of yummy dips look fantastic and a...Your collection of yummy dips look fantastic and any kid would think "feast". <BR/>Just bought your book Vegan Lunch Box and LOVE it. <BR/>We will be mentioning it on our blog soon! http://www.gonaturalbaby.com/blog<BR/>peace.Go Natural Babyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09210094979949397023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-4732396897677301222008-08-03T07:26:00.000-07:002008-08-03T07:26:00.000-07:00look delicious!cheers!magnetic ringslook delicious!<BR/>cheers!<BR/><A HREF="http://magneticrings.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">magnetic rings</A>*NovaBags*https://www.blogger.com/profile/11947164498756231927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-42004307243427915562008-07-31T19:47:00.000-07:002008-07-31T19:47:00.000-07:00I remember as a kid I would often have tofurkey or...I remember as a kid I would often have tofurkey or a soy burger (sometimes chicken, even though my mom was a vegetarian she still cooked us meat) dipped in apple sauce.

It's heavenly.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes as a treat I give my son a little antipasto plate with a very small container of honey for dipping things into. He thinks it's the most perfect, amazing dipping sauce ever, and has enjoyed dipping carrots, sugar snap peas and focaccia in it, among other things.<BR/><BR/>I also really like <A HREF="http://www.bobbymcr.com/main/food/recipes/VeganNachoCheeseDip.xml" REL="nofollow">this</A> vegan nacho cheese dip served on the side when we have mexican food.

We use dairy yogurt but I'm sure a vegan substitute would be delicious too. We simply mix in (roughly) equal parts of vanilla (or plain - your call) yogurt with almond butter. Yummm! Goes great with fruit - I serve it either alongside fruit salad or simply dish some into my bowl first and top with the fruit.Jennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00883099182336180371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-68795672725946802302008-07-21T17:36:00.000-07:002008-07-21T17:36:00.000-07:00Looks very yummy.
