Due to severe food allergies (wheat, soy, eggs, dairy, tomato, avacado, peanuts, etc) I have a very limited diet. I do vegan wherever I can, but due to limitations have the littlest bit of fish when I feel the need for protein, mosty twice a year. I consume fresh, raw milk from a pampered cow. I am trying to balance my 12 year olds vegan needs, with my needs for protein from sources other than those typically used by vegans. We are very pro active for animal rights, and consume only products we know are willingly given up by animals, and we thank them for it. Being allergic to most grains, many vegetables, and all wheat items. such as bread, crackers, cookies, cakes, etc., What can you recommend that my daughter and I can enjoy together-cooking three meals a day for her, and three seperate meals for me is tiring, and not cost effective. I have been slammed on here several times for saying I am a veggie, and then saying I eat fish....I need balance and advice

that is a tough question! I would look up to find a vegan friendly nutritionist in your area. they would be able to give you better advice. Remember: beans and rice will make a complete protein and are very yummy. If you need to eat fish, I say eat it (yes, I am a vegan). The point of being a vegan is to not consume animals that we *don't* need, but if you need it for survival, i see nothing wrong with eating fish.

Well I think the first thing (and everyone can benefit from this) is to stop trying to pigeon hole ourselves and others into categories "Vegan", Vegetarian" "CArnivore" etc. That does no-one any good.
If you are a beleiver in Animal rights then simply say that. No need to go into the fact that you eat fish a few times a year.
Sorry I don't have an answer to your question of particular food that you and your child can share, but I do agree with the answer of talking witha nutritionalist. With your allergies and such, they may really be able to help out.
