ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

To Eric, my best friend, husband, and love of my life. For letting me write “just one more book” so I could share our favorite recipes with many families. I appreciate you understanding that sharing these special diet recipes can be life-changing for many families. Your support and encouragement are two of the biggest gifts of my life.

To my kids Sofia, Alex, and Gabriel. I know you don’t always like what mom cooks or when she tests recipes, so I thank you for at least doing the “taste test” and listening to mom’s mantra: We might not like this recipe today, but tomorrow we might discover a new favorite.

To my parents, John and Isabel. There are no words that can describe how much I love you.

My in-laws, Moose and Debbie. You are the most amazing, caring, and loving in-laws I could ever ask for. Your help in taking care of the kids so I can finish this book has been a gift.

My MOMables team. You are amazing. Truly. Thank you for knowing when to step in when I’ve left off test recipes and for when I work on cookbooks, travel, and have to be mom and disappear off of the radar for a week or so.

My friend Alison Bickel. The third time is the charm. Thank you for having an awesome hungry family that continues to eat my recipes after you photograph them. I still believe that you are able to capture with a camera even better than how I see food in my mind so I can share it with others.

To Amanda, my editor, and the publishing team. These three books have been a great journey. Betsy, you’ll be missed tremendously.

To our Creator. With you, all things are possible.
