Hey Mom...I'm a Vegetarian: A Child's Vegetarian Cookbook

By Leya Glazer

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

INTRODUCTION…

A little about me…

I decided to become a vegetarian when I was 5 years old., I am 9 years old now.

I decided to become a vegetarian because I don’t like killing animals.

I have a playful cat. he is 1 year old, and his name is Wilbur.

I have a 3 year old Australian Shepard / Bernese Mountain Dog mix and his name is Scooby.

I have a 1 year old Golden Retriever. Her name is Magic, She is very cute but bad. My dogs lay around in the kitchen while I cook. My mom says it’s dangerous but I enjoy the company. I have a crazy brother who chases Wilbur around the house.

His name is Harley, and he is 7 years old. He goofs around while I cook.

A lot of my relatives enjoy cooking, my mom and my nana are both great cooks. My dad helps by enjoying everything, My mom is a food scientist. I learned how to cook from her. My favorite thing to cook is Eggplant Parmesan (page 63). I hope you enjoy my book!

A little word from mom:

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 (I call them pizzaterians or donutarians) and lacking in iron and other nutrients. 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! She made every single one of these recipes, wrote them in the book and edited it! I’m incredibly proud of her for her hard work and dedication!

We hope you enjoy some of our personal family favorites!
