Introduction

Leya came home in Kindergarten and decided she too was a vegetarian. As a food scientist and nutritionist, I knew the most important thing was to make sure she got the proper nutrients in her diet. Many of the girls at her school have decided to be vegetarians, but sometimes that turns out to be a diet too high in carbohydrates (also known as pizzaterians or donutarians) and lacking in iron, essential amino acids, and other nutrients.

Challenges and Inspiration

Some of the moms had no idea how to make sure their children had a proper, healthy diet, or even how to cook for their children to keep it interesting! Leya and I decided maybe we could share some of our favorite recipes with our friends. That grew into the idea of a cookbook!

Closing

I'm incredibly proud of her for her hard work and dedication! We hope you enjoy some of our personal family favorites!
