My Review:
I have a whole slew of cookbooks, cooking magazines and recipe books around my home. I have a few favorites that I use regularly, several with some favorite recipes highlighted or marked with some sort of sticky tag, and several that I plan to someday sit down and look through for new ideas.
When offered the chance to review a cookbook with healthy recipes to aid in healthier eating habits and possible weight loss, I was excited to give it a try. I looked over all the recipes in the book and found several that I plan to try. I like recipes that use items I keep in my pantry, keep on hand or at least am comfortable cooking with. I do not like to have cookbooks or recipes that use expensive ingredients or ones that are unusual or not easy to find.
Skinny-licious has a combination of both - recipes with ingredients that I do not keep on hand or would not use on a daily basis, but also quite a few recipes that are easy, simple and fun to make. I like the variety, and the options to try something new. It is a nice cookbook to add to my collection and one that I will be using for several new recipes I can't wait to try!
