The Veggie Baby

When Finn was still in my belly, Helen told me about this book ( see below). Another friend also mentioned that she knew a Vegan woman who hand drew a picture book for her children, she called it :
" We don't eat our friends". I have never seen this book and therefore it's become a bit of my personal Holy Grail... But I realize now, they are out there, the published ones:

I was looking for it again tonight in the back of the sieve-brain, the search gave me more ideas...

This one has great illustrations:

and this one sends a clear message:

If you know of any veggie books for children that you can't live without please share!

I made this recipe to suit both Finn (11 month old) and his parents (30 years old). It consists in stuffed bell pepper for the ancients and a blended mix for the baby.

Ingredients:

Six bell peppers, tops removed but kept aside chopped.
1/2 cup red quinoa cooked and drained.
5 Roma tomatoes chopped.
1 small onion chopped.
2 garlic cloves chopped.
3 larges carrots chopped.
salt and pepper, thyme.

Saute the onion and garlic in a large pan, add the chopped pepper top; cook until tender. Add carrots, tomatoes, salt, pepper and spices . Cook the vegetable covered until the carrots are soft. Add quinoa and mix well.

For the adults:
Fill the bell peppers with stuffing; You can add diced fresh mozzarella or Gouda at this point. Place the pepper in a dish in a 375F oven until the outside of the peppers look soft.

For the baby:
Blend the left over stuffing and serve with a spoon.
