Taste of Home Books (January 8, 2008)
For years diets have been dreaded for being tasteless, hard-to-follow and generally unpleasant. Now, America's #1 cooking magazine, Taste of Home, brings you a diet plan you can live with! For millions nationwide Taste of Home has been America's Recipe Box, gathering best-loved recipes from home cooks across the country and sharing them with readers. This January, the editors share healthy, lower-fat, lower-calorie versions of favorite comfort foods in the Taste of Home Comfort Food Diet Cookbook. This new paperback presents hundreds of recipes, dieting basics and exercise tips to help you achieve the health and weight loss goals you want without giving up the delicious foods you love!
The Taste of Home Comfort Food Diet Cookbook is a collection of the best healthy recipes from Taste of Home's database of more than 40,000 recipes. What makes this program unique is that it was created keeping the average person and family in mind. Featuring recipes from real people for real people, this plan promotes moderation, portion control and ingredient substitutions rather than exclusions. Each of the 217 recipes has been reviewed by food editor Peggy Woodward, R.D. and includes nutrition facts as well as diabetic exchanges. There's also an entire page of "free foods"—a food or drink that has less than 20 calories or 5 or fewer grams of carbohydrate per serving—to help fight hunger. To make starting the diet easier, there's even a complete two-week meal plan, broken down by day, meal and number of calories. Take advantage of the do-it-yourself meal-planning worksheet to log daily food consumption and exercise. (Download extra copies of the worksheet here.)
The all-inclusive Taste of Home Comfort Food Diet Cookbook includes sections on: Basics of Diet, Snacks, Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Dessert. Each section is broken down by calories, making it possible to mix and match daily meals. The recipes are scrumptious, yet simple enough that the everyday cook can prepare them with ease. Indulge in sweet and savory snacks like Spiced Honey Pretzels and Banana Berry Drink. Have tasty breakfasts from Mixed Berry French Toast Bake to Toasted Granola or a French Omelet. Quell lunchtime hunger with a Beef Fajita Salad, Baked Deli Focaccia Sandwich or Vegetable Beef Stew; then feast at dinnertime on Easy Chicken Potpie, Beef and Spinach Lasagna, Sausage Pizza and Turkey Fettuccine Skillet. Get the skinny on what desserts are doable, with options like Fudgy Chocolate Dessert and Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake. No longer will you make diet foods just for yourself—these are favorites the whole family will enjoy!
