Quote Of The Day
To get people to eat well,
Don’t say a word about health,
Just cook fantastic food for them.
Ellie Krieger
Are you interested in cooking more nutritiously and improving your family’s health? Would you like to eat better without sacrificing quality and flavor?
Leave it to Ellie Krieger – the star of the Food Network’s Healthy Appetite – to show you how! This registered dietician has provided a roadmap to healthier living in The Food You Crave – Luscious Recipes For A Healthy Life!
The Food You Crave is not your typical recipe or diet book. Inside, you’ll discover a culinary world where no food is off limits. Ellie’s goal is to help you change how you think about food. Instead of saying “Never” to the less healthy foods you sometimes desire, Ellie encourages you to adopt her “Usually – Sometimes – Rarely” food philosophy, which enables you to eat all of the foods you love in varying quantities.
According to Ellie, you can cook with “Usually Foods” as often as you like, since they form the cornerstone of a healthy diet. Usually Foods include colorful vegetables and fruits, whole grains, lean meats and fish, beans, nuts, low fat dairy and healthy oils.
“Sometimes Foods” – which include regular pasta, white flour, sugar, and certain cuts of red meat – are a little less healthy because they are more refined or a little higher in saturated fat. You’ll learn how to incorporate these types of foods into your diet without going overboard.
You’ll also learn how to use “Rarely Foods” – those foods that most of us crave but many nutritionists ban – in strategic ways that allow you to enjoy your favorite foods while keeping the overall recipe healthy. Foods in this category include butter, full-fat cheese, bacon, and cream.
Ellie’s book is full of many wonderful yet healthy temptations. I’ve enjoyed dining on Mom’s Turkey Meatloaf, a delicious and much lighter version of meatloaf than I was raised on, and blasting away the heat with a batch of refreshing Blueberry Blast Smoothies! I can hardly wait to start my day with a Peach French Toast Bake… or to take a mid-day break with a Savory Chinese Chicken Salad… or to dine on some Jerk Chicken with Cool Pineapple Salsa… and to end my day with the Chocolate Cherry Almond Biscotti…
In addition to the fabulous recipes, the book also contains several useful resources I’m sure you’ll refer to time and time again. Included among my favorites are The New Way Pantry, the perfect guide for making your pantry healthier, and the Essential Nutrients For Your Good Health chart!
This award-winning book is published by The Taunton Press – a trusted source of information and inspiration for all things related to the home! Be sure to check out their site – I can attest to the quality of their publications!
