Re: New Food Find: Follow Your Heart Creates Cheese Free of Dairy, Soy and Peas
So I'm looking at this and thinking it may be something to trial a little with my son this summer. We know potato and coconut are doable. Would the extracts have a lot of proteins in them? And food starch is usually a corn source, right? OMG I just realized he may be able to try this! Also heard it may be right at our S&S

Re: New Food Find: Follow Your Heart Creates Cheese Free of Dairy, Soy and Peas
Not sure what the modified food starch is - could be corn or tapioca. Definitely not wheat or they'd have to declare that.

Re: New Food Find: Daiya Greek-Style Yogurt Is Dairy-Free and Soy-Free
The ingredient list is very difficult to read and I couldn't find the product listed on their website... but what I did read was Vegan Natural flavors? What is that?

Re: New Food Find: Daiya Greek-Style Yogurt Is Dairy-Free and Soy-Free
Sorry the image is not more clear and they do not yet list the ingredients on the website. My best advice would be to call them and ask what it is.

I spoke to the people from Daiya at a convention last weekend. They said it would be available in the fall. Is it available now or are there dates?

Our understanding was the end of this month. What convention?

Re: Xander
This kid is my hero! With life threatening food allergies to dairy, eggs and nuts since 2mo, he's learned how to manage, fit-in, speak up & encourage others with food allergies in his school. I'm just so proud of him and thankful for him.

Thank you! I am so happy to share this one with everyone and I have to admit - this birthday cake and set up was my favorite project I have done. My kids loved the nearly 6 foot barn and farm animals I made so much that we used it as a wall decoration in their play room afterwards!

Re: New Food Find: Egg Replacer Product Promises to Scramble Like Real Eggs
How do I use it? To use VeganEgg, follow the instructions on the package to mix the powder with ice cold water. For example, here are the directions for using VeganEgg to make a scramble: Whisk or blend 2 level tablespoons of VeganEgg per ½ cup of ice cold water until smooth. Heat a lightly-oiled skillet to medium-high. Pour the mixture into the skillet. The "egg" should sizzle in pan. IMMEDIATELY begin to scramble. Use a spatula to stir frequently and evenly scramble the mixture until eggs...

Re: New Food Find: Egg Replacer Product Promises to Scramble Like Real Eggs
This definitely sounds exciting. My heartfelt thanks to the people at Follow Your Heart. However, I didnt find this on amazon yet. Btw, it would be helpful if some more nutritional information is included like how much fat, protein etc. Though I am not good at nutrition, I have seen "Carrageenan" in a negative light in nutrition blogs in general. Is this a concern? Can anybody throw some light?
Comment
Re: New Food Find: Egg Replacer Product Promises to Scramble Like Real Eggs
I'm just now seeing this - very exciting! I'll have to keep an eye out for it. goodsammy - I have seen some comments and discussion about carrageenan, but it's not something I have researched.
Comment
Re: New Food Find: Egg Replacer Product Promises to Scramble Like Real Eggs
Wow! I am very excited to try this out! I am more interested it trying it out as an egg replacer in things like brownies (which are difficult to make without eggs) than as actual scrambled eggs. I am pretty sure Eli would not touch anything that looked like an egg! I noticed that Amazon is not selling it yet but did find it at Vegan Essentials : https://store.veganessentials....our-heart-p4615.aspx They are sold out but are getting more in soon.

Re: New Food Find: Egg Replacer Product Promises to Scramble Like Real Eggs
Carrageenan is being removed from many non-dairy milks now because of consumer demand. So Delicious has removed it from many of their products and I believe will be removing it from all products eventually. I believe it is a possible carcinogen made from seaweed and also causes gastrointestinal distress for some. It gives me a headache if I have too much of it. Here is more information about carrageenan: http://www.cornucopia.org/wp-c...rageenan-Report1.pdf
Comment
Re: New Food Find: Egg Replacer Product Promises to Scramble Like Real Eggs
Carrageenan is allowed in infant formulas in the US, one of the most closely scrutinized & regulated substances for sale. "Nutrition blogs" give me the heebie-jeebies b/c they don't have to back anything they say up - they just make their site look pretty, say what they want & rumors spread like wildfire. Very few people go digging for peer-reviewed journal articles to back up what they've read. The citations I've seen about carrageenan studies have all been done on animals. That's...

Re: Dairy-Free Climbs!
Lots of kids with food debris climb on the rock wall at our local gym - cheesy chips, cheese sticks, etc.. Tough when you have a severe allergy to dairy and love to climb! Logan works hard to be allergy-safe primarily by not touching his face while climbing (can be tricky when you are itchy!!), and by washing his hands thoroughly immediately after climbing.
Comment
Re: 6 BEST 11
Climbing out in nature is generally allergy-safe, but some equipment is shared (ropes, clips)...so the cross-contamination risk is still there. Logan takes precautions by avoiding touching his face, bringing his own bottled water and snacks that can be eaten from a container/wrapper and by washing hands immediately afterwards. Add to this the fact that emergency medical help is farther away. Takes courage!

I have a quick question. If I submit a recipe, KWFA then owns it? If KWFA reprints the recipe or uses it, would I be mentioned as the original creator or do I loose all rights to it once I submit? Thanks!
