About the Author:

Sarah Matheny, a former divorce and custody attorney, left the practice of law and meeting the demands of billable hours and is now practicing patience and meeting the demands of a toddler and preschooler.

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. We are not your normal family. And yet we are. Sure, I cook dinner at 9:00 a.m. so I can photograph it in the best possible light and show it to thousands of people on the internet each day. With a law degree, I'm probably way overqualified for this position. And I'm definitely still paying back those school loans. But I'm also a stay-at-home mom who wants to feed my family healthy and nutritious meals. Who wants my girls to grow up knowing that vegetables don't really come from cans and healthy snacks don't come in hundred-calorie packs. Who wants to gather my brood around the dinner table each night and serve them up a nourishing meal that isn't that much different from the comforting home-cooked meals that my mom made for me when I was growing up. Only she didn't care about the lighting. And she didn't rush through the dishes because The Bachelor was about to start. Another obvious difference—my girls, Gigi and Lulu, would rather munch on tofu than chicken nuggets. What can I say? I make some killer tofu. But they fight over Barbies, they plead with me to wear tutus to soccer practice and they never met a Disney princess-emblazoned item of clothing, school supply or beach towel they didn't like. Sure my husband, Pea Daddy, doesn't eat brats and throw back brew-skis during the big game. But he likes a "manly" meal as much as the next guy, and he'll take down doughnuts with his coffee and sports page on a Sunday morning like it's nobody's business. Through our blog, for the past three years I've made my family everybody's business. And really, that's the point. Because I see the value in showing the world what a "normal" family we are, tearing down that mind-set that health nuts are just plain nuts. But what does this mean for you? I don't want you to make drastic overnight changes to fit a label. Nor do I want you necessarily to swear off meat. But even if you try one or two of these plant-based recipes in this book each week, you can raise the standard by which you feed your family and yourself. Throughout this book, you'll find these icons at the end of each recipe to help you decipher how best to use these recipes in your everyday cooking. Freezable These recipes can be prepared ahead of time and frozen for quick and easy meals. Veg Value Based on a series on the blog, these recipes have...
