The Fat Free Living Family Cookbook

Summary: Fat-Free Living is easy and delicious!
Review: I picked up this book initially because I liked that it has a two-week menu in the back. I wanted to be able to get a better feel for balanced menu-planning and thought this might be a good way to start. Since I didn't want to eat all of this food by myself, I had three co-workers sign up for our "Fat-free Lunch Club." We've been on the lunches now for three weeks and absolutely love it. The meals are quite tasty and we all feel better now that we're getting a good balance of fruits and vegetables in addition to the chicken, fish etc. of the entrees. We love the gourmet touches (i.e. tomato-basil dressing on a roast beef sandwich) which are simple touches but make a tremendous difference in flavor. Best of all, we're each able to eat for about $20 per week. We're saving money and feeling great! For the most part, the recipies have all been easy to plan ahead and make the night before. There are no pictures, but the book is conveniently bound in a spiral notebook for ease of use. My husband likes the food, too, so easy dinners are already planned when I get home. My only criticism of the book is that sometimes the recipies make 8 or more servings, which is far too much for my little apartment-sized kitchen and freezer. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to eat healthier and get a good variety of dishes.
