Thank you, Vani, for helping parents like me who want our families to eat real food, "like a Food Babe Family," and have fun, too!

Several years ago I had an opportunity to watch Vani speak to an incredible holistic-minded audience. Simply put, I was inspired by her message. I'm not surprised she finally wrote her message for all to hear, not just for us, but most importantly for future generations, our children.

Vani knocks it out of the park once again! This is so much more than a cookbook. It's a "how-to-feed-your-family" including on the go. One of the hardest things about eating well is eating on the go . . . or when you're traveling. My favorite part of this whole book is Vani walking you through how to do that. Everyone needs this book . . . it's like having the food babe in your back pocket!
