I am a nanny and the boy I watch is highly allergic to daily, eggs, etc.. They get him Tapioca Loaf-Thin Sliced bread. They get cake products from cherrybrook kitchen which has no dairy or eggs.

I prefer baking cakes homemade not something I need to order. That can really get expensive. Thanks for the advice on the bread.

I'd Google "vegan bread recipes."

In fact, I just did, and these look pretty yummy:

Every time I have made vegan baked goods, the only extra ingredient I've needed has been flax seed.

Maybe some of these recipes could help, too:

I know you can order the cake mix, but they buy it at a natural foods store. Welcome about the bread, it actually tastes really good.

For a milk substitute you can use any non-dairy milk: soy, almond, rice, hemp, etc. Some of them have stronger flavors than others, and I recommend almond or rice as they are the mildest. For egg replacers where your recipe calls for 1 whole egg, mix 1 tablespoon or ground flax seed with 3 tablespoons of water; it works out perfectly. You can also get something called Ener-G egg replacer. I've never tried it, so I don't know how it works. If you're going to be a lacto-ovo vegetarian, you would still be able to use eggs and milk, you would only bet cutting them out if you were going vegan. I would recommend that you start small, keep the dairy and eggs until you get used to getting rid of the meat.

As far as your granddaughter is concerned, don't write her off. She very well might be open to vegetarian foods and eats stuff like burgers and pizza because they're provided to her. Also, this will give you a chance to introduce her to a healthier diet, which is always a good thing.

I'd say if you're cooking for other people you shouldn't have to worry about their specific favorite foods. Cook something that YOU want to eat. You don't have to cook meat just because someone else likes it. Just like you wouldn't expect someone to cook tofu for you. If they don't like a part of the meal they don't have to eat it. Be a good example to your granddaughter and cook something meat free and healthy. She's only 9 which means she is still looking to adults for an idea of what she should eat. It's an important time for shaping her eating habits for the rest of her life.
I know the tendency for parents and especially grandparents is to indulge the children that they love and give them all the tasty treats they want. But if you really love the child, give her the food that's good for her! And teach her to enjoy them and what they can do for her body. She might not thank you now, but chances are she will later.

Are you going to be vegan or vegetarian? Cos some vegetarians still eat milk and eggs, only avoiding things the animal has been killed for. There are plenty recipes online for dairy-free diets, and plenty cookbooks too. Try logon to http://www.puredairyfree.co.uk/whydairyfree.php?gclid=CNqp8uzG4J4CFZ1h4wodzDTMJA for more advice. Or you can type on google search recipes or books you might like.

As for the burgers, Linda Mccartney range do great vegetarian range of sasauges and burgers. I think tehy taste like the real thing, a child may never know the difference. You could treat this as an opportunity to introduce new foods into your and a child's diet, play around with ideas and have fun with it. In my opinion, you don't need meat or meat substitutes for a great meal.

Congratualtions on deciding to become vegetarian and good luck with it!!
