The Perfect Recipe for Losing Weight and Eating Great Reviews
The Union Square Bar Nuts recipe has become a favorite in our house, and I'm just waiting on getting a smaller crockpot so I can more often cook the beautiful oatmeal recipe. I've really enjoyed this book. I love that Pam focuses on bettering how you feel about yourself emotionally, as well as physically. I highly recommend this book. It's about what we're always striving for - better ways to eat, and care for ourselves.
liked the foil packet recipes in this new book. I would. I enjoyed her personal writing style and the recipes are great. I was surprised to see how much sugar and flour were in so many of her recipes, and how much pasta and pizza, even if slightly healthier versions. I am a generally healthy eater, and trying to maintain my weight as I've gotten older, and am always looking for healthy recipes that still taste good. I esp.
In most ways, I really liked this book. Same exact book, with healthy versions without sugar and flour for snacks and nibbles and desserts, would have been 5 stars. I just have had to skip those sections, as I'd be gaining weight if started eating like that. I have her "How to Cook Without a Book" as well,which I have used and enjoyed. have liked some delicious healthy snacks and dessert recipes, without.
how many of the recipes I found weren't really all that healthy. So was surprised to see how all the snack and nibbles and most of the dessert recipes really weren't anything I'd make, even though this book was touted as one for weight loss and eating healthy. all the sugar and flour, which I try to stay away from because they are simply unhealthy and to maintain my weight. The reason I give this book 4 instead of 5 stars is. The rest of the book I would highly recommend.
I LOVE this book so much I felt compelled to write a reviewa first for me. Even my kids, who are beyond picky, have loved her recipes and believe me, that is saying a lot. I've made several of the recipes-all absolutely fantastic but what I really love about this book is how it's laid out to make menu planning incredibly effortless. I also love that she encourages indulgence (in a low fat way, of course) which is key for me to lose weight. She teaches basic recipes that you can alter and more importantly her recipes are FULL of flavor so you feel satisfied. I'm using her recipes to cook from for breakfast and lunch 7 days a week and then 4 nights a week I'm cooking her dinner recipes (on the 5th night I'm experimenting with other books and the 6th we go out or have leftovers).
Since I have started focusing on making healthier choices the majority of the time, this cookbook easily become my favorite. Moderation wins in this cookbook which actually presents a sustainable approach to healthier eating that doesn't sacrifice flavor or satisfaction. I also especially love the vegetable roasting techniques and the Quick Tomato-Stewed Zucchini with Bail and Garlic.simple yet wonderful. I like how many of the recipes really teach you a method with a variety of options/suggestions and allow you to create the perfect meal for you. I have an extensive cookbook collection. I highly reccomend this cookbook.
Ingredients are easy to find. Recipes are easy to follow. So far, everyone has liked what I've made.
