Most little girls want to learn how to ride horses. Lizzie Marie Likness was no different. She wanted horse riding lessons so bad, she made healthy baked goods and sold them at a farmer’s market in the hopes of earning enough for riding lessons. In doing so, she realized that her true passion was baking. She began launching a blog at age 8 and soon won the Del Monte grant and made appearances on the Rachel Ray Show, Fox News, CNN Money, and the Huffington Post. She also stars in “Healthy Cooking with Chef Lizzie” for WebMD’s kids’ portal FIT. Lizzie is currently soon finishing up her senior year of high school and continues to share recipes and other content on lizzemariecuisine.com
