You're raising your kid vegan! What does he eat?!?!

Decided to start a blog on what my vegan toddler eats. Whether you're vegan or not I hope you can get some ideas on healthy plant based meals for your toddler.

Spinach pita and polenta with spinach

I try to feed Dean his greens everyday, but sometimes he just doesn't want them. I heated up some spinach with a little olive oil and a little water in a pan and added a pinch of salt and nutritional yeast.

He took one bite and said 'all done'. I tried again, but he is very good at keeping his mouth closed tight. I then offered him some vegetable curry that I was having. Nope. Offered a scoop of peanut butter. Nope. Desperately looked through the fridge and saw the tube of organic polenta from trader joes. Cut a slice. Heated it in the same pan as the spinach but added a little coconut butter. Cut into bite sized pieces, stuffed a little spinach in the center and sprinkled them with nutritional yeast. I showed him how to use his fork and he had a blast stabbing them and eating them. Success!

Mashed cauliflower

Made curry for the hubs and me. Dean's not a fan so I over steamed some cauliflower and mashed it up with earth balance, nutritional yeast, and salt. He loved it!
