Eating for Life

I'm in love with this cookbook! If I knew I could eat so well I would have ordered it a long time ago. It was worth every cent I paid for it. Even my husband loves the few things I've made so far.

Yesterday we had a ground turkey meatloaf with green beans and a portion of red skin mashed potatoes. Really filling and that meatloaf was very tasty! This morning I had a carrot cake muffin since I didn't have time to cook. It's also from the cookbook and you can use it for a meal replacement. If your use to eating muffins and donuts or bagels for breakfast, this is the way to go.

For lunch I made a ham egg and cheese melt. As you can see, these recipes are yummy. I don't start my challenge until Monday, but I can tell you.. I'm loving the food already. Even if I didn't pick up a single weight or do a single exercise, I could eat this way all the time. The book has given us so much variety in our diet.

A lot of the ingredients repeat, so once you have them all in your kitchen you can pretty much make anything in the book. My husband thought it was worth all the money I spent getting everything up I needed. He normally hates my cooking so after eating it for seven years he doesn't mind the extra I spent to give him some variety he actually likes. The main thing, it doesn't taste diet to him.

If you haven't purchased this book or you are thinking about it. Trust me, its completely worth it.
