A PENNY FOR MY THOUGHTS:
How can something that tastes so good still be good for you? Using in-season, unprocessed, natural whole foods to make such tasty recipes is priceless. Full of motivational tips, nutritional eating make-overs, and healthy information, The Skinnytaste Cookbook helps make losing and maintaining weight through food choices fun and yummy. Recipes included are for breakfasts, soups, sandwiches, appetizers, salads, meats, sides and of course, desserts. Key information (calories, carbs, fat, fiber) is included with each recipe as well as easy-to-follow directions, additional food facts, and “skinnyscoops” which gives the author’s personal thoughts/ experiences with each recipe. Appetizing and extremely palatable while being nutritional and weight conscious…it doesn’t get any better than The Skinnytaste Cookbook!
