"Raising my children on an organic plant-based diet is one way I can directly and actively contribute to their future—their future health and their future environment, most obviously. But, I also feel that this diet will teach them a lesson in compassion for animals. I hope that any one of these reasons is motivation enough for you to want the same for your children. All traditions start somewhere. Let it this one start with you." Erika Krebs, Author

Erika Lee Krebs began crafting homemade baby food recipes when her twin babies were ready to eat and learned one child had several food allergies. She created "Fresh Start" to provide a resource for parents on a mission to feed their babies the best food for their health, environment, and reflect compassion. Given the health issues plaguing young children - from obesity to Type 2 Diabetes - it's imperative that parents introduce infants to nourishing, high-quality foods from the outset since doing so will help shape a child's food preferences and positively impact them for life. This book seeks to help you on this path by providing you with delectable, straightforward recipes that are perfectly created for the healthy baby and toddler. No matter which recipes you prepare, each offers taste, nutrition, simplicity, and enjoyment. Erika Lee Krebs now resides in Seattle, WA with her husband, Michael, her twin sons Oliver and Sebastian (official taste testers), and their newest edition, Phoebe Joyce.
