We rolled out little snakes of dough this morning and baked them into fun shapes. I packed them with a small container of peanut butter for dipping, kiwi and star fruit, baby carrots, and roasted chickpeas. Beverage: chocolate Silk.Verdict: This was our first time trying star fruit; we agreed it was fun to look at but not too exciting to eat. Everything else was eaten and enjoyed. "I ate a lot!" he said. 4 stars.
what *are* those star fruits anyway? look interesting, yes. were they not very tasty?
ReplyDeleteThey're an exotic fruit also called carambola. When you slice them they look like stars! That was fun, but the flavor was tart and watery; we didn't like it much.
ReplyDeleteHi there. I just found your website because I am a nanny and the mom is letting me cook vegan for her kids (I'm vegan, they're not). Upon looking for advice from the livejournal vegan community, I was sent your way. I think that what you do is amazing and I have sent your site to other moms that I think would love to have a look at it. Keep up the great work. You are inspiring!
ReplyDeleteHi, crystal, thank you so much!! How great that you are cooking vegan for the kids!
ReplyDeleteCan you give a recipe for the roasted chickpeas? My nephew is vegan and loves chickpeas. I am so envious of your creativity! thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteRoasted chickpeas look good. Can you share the recipe?
