I’ll probably be making this a semi regular thing around here. I hope thats okay with all of you! If it’s not then.. well.. I dunno. As you all know, I’m terrible at responding to questions via comments I try but sometimes my answers end up being posted days after the fact…. but please ask or email any questions and I’ll respond as best and as quickly as I can.

Rice and beans with peppers, onions, garlic, and a sweet plantain.
Well, she wasn’t digging on the plantain too much this particular day… I don’t blame her, I never liked them until recently.

couscous mixed with lentils and onions from my recent things on toast.
P1240320
Roasted vegetables (red onion, garlic, zuchinni, squash, carrots) with purple and red mashed potatoes.
P1240348
The biggest mish-mash meal ever: leftover lentils, mashed potatoes, some roasted veggies, broccoli, and sauteed sweet corn. Yes, I ate this too. It was kinda depressing… I quickly made a massive grocery trip the next day.
P1240438
tofu scramble with onions, peppers, garlic, tomatoes, green onion, and mixed greens.
(her FAVORITE) 

Things Marlowe doesn’t care much for: sweet potatoes, cauliflower, and plain beans— she prefers them in patty form or mixed with a grain… whatever, as long as she eats them. 🙂

Also, again: please excuse the poor quality of so many of these photos. They are either taken with a cranky hungry baby or  in the dim evening lighting.

    Cynthia, I am not sure if you are aware of this but the Weston Price Foundation is a bunch of bunk. Soy has been a staple in the eastern diet for centuries. It has gotten a bad reputation because it is used in so many processed foods. Of course, people should avoid overly processed soy and choose whole soy products like edamame, tofu and tempeh. Drea is an excellent example of a healthy vegan and does not need to worry herself with faux-science. Thank you Drea for continuing to show how vegans can be healthy and raise healthy children.

    I'm becca: YES! And red, and yukon too. Purple potatoes aren't the creamiest of potatoes, it's good to mix a creamy potato in there for extra deliciousness potential.

    @bridget: I think it was sweet potato? Or butternut squash. I started giving her purees maybe at 5.5 or 6 month? I think? This is why I have a blog.. to remember things. #mymemorysucks

    @katie: anthropologie (about 98% of my dining sets are from Anthro. People know I'm obsessed so they have become a standard for christmas and birthday gifts)

    @kimb: if you look at some of the last photos you can see it a lil' more clear. There is a lil' ram guy going from the inside of the bowl to the outside. That's his butt 😉

    What's that funky blue thing in the bowls?
