Halloween Cookies

Last night we did an interview for The Recipe Box. On the show, my mom mentioned one of our recipes in the book for Halloween Cookies.

They are basically meringue cookies made with eggs so they are for ovo-vegetarians. The recipe also calls for mini-chocolate chips so if you don't do dairy, leave them out or buy chocolate chips that don't have "milk" or "milk fat" on the ingredient label.

The full recipe for these Meringue Halloween Cookies from Veggie Teens is attached below (click on the Download link).

To get these great halloween colors, look for "neon" food coloring. If you don't want to use food coloring, leave them white and make ghosts with chocolate chips for eyes.

Why Become a Vegetarian

There are many reasons to become a vegetarian; my reason is that I love and care for animals. All of my vegetarian teenager friends became vegetarians for different reasons.

Here are just some of the reasons some of my friends are becoming vegetarians:

• They love animals
• They're concerned about the environment
• They feel it's healthier
• Religious reasons
• Because it's cool

I don't think becoming a vegetarian just because it's cool is a good idea, but as long as it saves animals, it's ok with me!

 

 

 

Why I wrote this book

My name is Elyse and I wrote a cookbook called Veggie Teens: A Cookbook and Guide for Vegetarian Teenagers. It’s for teenage vegetarians, teenagers hoping to convince their parents to let them try becoming a vegetarian, vegetarians of any age, and anybody else who loves to cook and eat great food.

 

I’ve been a vegetarian for two years now. I decided to write this cookbook for a school project called “Project Imagine.” My dad is a chef and my mom is a doctor so a vegetarian cookbook seemed like the perfect idea. From the moment I started, I knew this would be more than a school project because there had to be thousands of teenagers out there just like me. Just because we don't like to eat animals doesn't mean we don't like to eat!
