Sorry to hear about the rice and the kale - I would actually finish her bowl, haha! I absolutely love tofu drenched in sauces or fried, so good! It’s great that you’re exposing a variety of different ingredients to Sylvia, but there are just so many more to explore and that she might like! I think she might like any kinds of veggies - ingredients are endless! :)rika@vmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08901767751926870086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-7122333799388852462014-07-05T09:07:49.710+10:002014-07-05T09:07:49.710+10:00Hi, visiting you via Healthy Vegan Fridays, that l...Hi, visiting you via Healthy Vegan Fridays, that looks absolutely delicious!Clorilde/Craftybegoniahttp://delicioso1.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-9762938075993972332014-06-30T13:04:38.859+10:002014-06-30T13:04:38.859+10:00Nice simple dinners that sound so tasty - exactly ...Nice simple dinners that sound so tasty - exactly the way I like it! :-)Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11420733412600018545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-77757271692460688332014-06-30T07:17:17.557+10:002014-06-30T07:17:17.557+10:00These are some of my favourite ingredients - I'...These are some of my favourite ingredients - I'll have Sylvia's kale next time if she doesn't fancy it!

Having grown up in a family of 7 and seeing how differently we each eat as grown ups I guess there are no guarantees but I hope that exposing her to different foods helps.
