Hello! We’ve been trying to switch to cloth diapers exclusively but are still struggling over here! Where do I store the used diapers? I’ve been doing it in a plastic grocery bag until the next day, but if I wait 2 days instead to do laundry, it wreaks of ammonia. How can I fix that?
Thanks!
Does anyone here have a slushi machine? Do you have some recipes for things that are creamy? I don’t have the Ninja brand, but it works the same. I know I can do fruit juice slushes, but I’m wondering if anyone has any recipes they use for creamy stuff like soft serve, Frappuccinos, etc.
Thank you!
I made some tofu shawarmas tonight for dinner, and I couldn’t even tell it wasn’t a chicken shawarma. They were so good! My family has been trying to go more plant based and has been having fun trying different food and textures.
Some of our favorites lately have been:
vegan pot pie (based loosely off of the Plant You version but used watered down cashew cream, swapped thyme and sage for TJs herbes de Provence that I ground in the mortar and pestle, and I used a lot of garlic.)
pizza beans w/italian sausage inspired tofu chunks & sourdough toast
orange tofu w/ fried rice
silken tofu chocolate mousse recipe
various bean brownies & blondies (favorite recipe so far but I use white beans because I can’t eat chickpeas and just make them into bars because I’m lazy🙃)
sweet potato skillet cookie recipe
What are some of your favorite things you’ve made/like to make since going vegan?
Edit: Added links for recipes I’ve used. I don’t usually. In with recipes.
For the shawarmas, I did this seasoning that I’ve been doing for years:
2tsp each cumin, coriander, turmeric
1 tsp each garlic, allspice, paprika
3/4 tsp each black pepper, clove
1/2 tsp cardamom, cinnamon
I mixed that with cornstarch, Worcestershire, a little soy sauce avocado oil, and I think that was it? I coated the tofu and marinated it for a few hours then baked on a sheet pan with sliced onions and peppers. Then I assembled with TJs garlic spread and a pickle in the green onion pancakes from TJs.
For the orange tofu, I just mixed up a sauce with grated ginger, grated garlic, soy sauce, fresh orange juice, orange zest, and a tiny bit of cayenne, and then mixed in some cornstarch slurry when I liked the flavor. I did just a generic air fried tofu with cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, nutritional yeast, Worcestershire sauce, and a little water. Tossed in the sauce after it was air fried and served over TJs veggie fried rice (they changed the color of the bag!) and the Thai veggie gyozas!
I’ll work on the other recipes too!

We’re moving across the country in a month and a half. We’re driving and are planning on only driving for 5 hours or less a day. The boys will be 6 months and 23 months when we move. We’re planning on driving during the time when they both take their naps (little one’s longer nap). We’re planning on getting some new toys they can play with in the car on the way there. (We’re a no screen except for FaceTime family.) We’ll be staying in hotels along the way.
Has anyone else done this with similar aged kiddos? Do you have any tips? Anything we should think about specifically?
I love the Cocojune yogurt but it’s so expensive! Does anyone have a good way to make plant based yogurt? I have a yogurt machine! I’m specifically interested in making soy yogurt and coconut yogurt! Do I just do it like regular dairy yogurt? Do I scald the milk first? Help please!
My 21 month old doesn’t like pizza, grilled cheese, or quesadillas. He would prefer homemade sourdough dipped in olive oil, flavorful cheese (he likes the dubliner cheese which i think tastes like a cheddar mixed with Swiss, extra sharp cheddar, gouda, etc.), olives, fish, a variety of fruit, etc. For lunch today, he requested olives, fruit and cheese. I also gave him crackers.
Anyone else’s kid eating like this at around 2?
