Breakfast: Fresh fruit, steamed broccoli, and homemade wheat toast.

Close to a year ago, my youngest daughter headed off to college. She has been a vegetarian since the age of 6 or 7, so it was no surprise that campus food options were carefully considered in selecting her college. Prior to entering school, she had lengthy discussions with the campus dining directors to make sure that they would be able to accommodate her desire to eat a well-balanced vegetarian diet.
A few weeks into her Freshman year, she called home asking me to send photos of the meals which I had been preparing so she could show the dining director. Up to this point, they were making her grilled cheese sandwiches, pasta, and salads. She hoped that by showing them the photos, it may inspire them to widen their vegetarian culinary repertoire.
After snapping cell phone photos of our breakfast, lunch, and dinner plates, I would upload them to Instagram, for her to view and share. Little by little, I found distinct pleasure in seeing the beautiful, colorful meatless meals captured in photographs. They were miniature creative pieces of edible art.
It has become a passion for me to now share this deliciously, gorgeous food with you. I look forward to sharing the photos.
I hope you are inspired.
