This is a great cook book. I hate to cook. I'm good at it, but I hate it. I want recipes that taste good, are healthy, and are easy to put together. I almost never buy cookbooks. Maybe one every 4 or 5 years. I saw this & what first struck me was how bright the pictures were. The recipes used alot of things I already keep on hand, such as ground turkey, salmon, turkey bacon, broccoli, splenda (of course), apple cider vinegar & so on. The directions are easy to follow & don't take alot of time. I especially like that with each recipe they have the nutrition info. This book lays out how many calories are in each serving, fat, protein, etc... There are not alot of recipes in this book, but what they have put in this book is very good. Its enough to get something different on your daily menu. There are a few recipes for sweet breakfast type things, although you could use these just as easily for dessert. You get recipes for pumpkin loaf, cinnamon coffee cake, blueberry corn muffins, etc... There are side dish recipes such as cucumber & onion salad, broccoli salad (I actually made the broccoli salad today. Its very good & my hubby loved it.) , orange almond salad, etc... There is a great recipe in here to make your BLTs (using turkey bacon) just a little differently using a recipe with light ranch dressing & some herbs & spices. There are lunch to dinner time recipes such as vegetarian chili, baked salmon with orange ginger sauce, chili seasoned meatloaf, etc... There are healthy desserts such as frozen raspberry ice pops, Pear Crisp, light lime cheesecake, etc... And there are also a few drinks such as Banana Raspberry Smoothie, elegant egg nog, and a hot chocolate recipe. This is definitely worth the $8. I couldn't be happier with it. Finally, a cookbook I can enjoy ! I highly recommend it.

Though there aren't a lot of recipes in this cookbook, the ones that are offered are wonderful. I'm a visual person and the picutres make it so helpful. I can't wait to try everyone...and I hope it looks the same way.

A bookful of delightful recipes! My girl friend was looking for just this sort of text. She cooks for herself and her diabetic brother and said she had searched high and low for one of these. Looks to me as though this will fill the bill May copy some of the recipes for myself. What is so appealing about the book is it offers genuinely complete recipes and does not say, "Dump in this can and that." Thanks.
