Book Reviews of Biggest Loser Family Cookbook: Budget-Friendly Meals Your Whole Family Will Love
Book Review: Add a Few New Recipes to Your Repertoire
Summary: 5 Stars
"Substitute fruit for candy if you have a sweet tooth. If I'm craving sour candy, I'll eat a tangerine instead. And the fiber in the fruit keeps your blood sugar steady." ~ Bette-Sue Burkund, Season 5
If you are the type of person who believes that a cookbook is worth the price if you find even just one good recipe then you will be pleased with this cookbook. For me, finding the "Orange Cream Smoothie" recipe was worth the time it took to read this book. The only problem I had with the recipe was that it only calls for two tablespoons of orange juice. Using ½ cup plus the two tablespoons worked much better and took the recipe from ice cream to a smoothie. You also don't need to use ice cubes if you are using frozen mango. I also used Activa "light" vanilla yogurt in the recipe so I ended up with a Mango and Vanilla Smoothie.
If you have always eaten pineapple with cottage cheese then you will appreciate the mandarin orange variation. The idea of eating bananas with sugar-free caramel sauce was also a winner. These are simple recipes but are great ideas for snacks.
Recently in cookbooks I've noticed authors giving lots of variations for common breakfasts like oatmeal or Cream of Wheat. This book has a delicious recipe for "Banana Cream of Wheat." I'd just suggest you use fat-free milk in place of the water. This is a good recipe to use if your bananas have become a bit too ripe.
Other recipes which look delicious include:
Szechuan Beef and Broccoli
Roasted Lemon-Pepper Salmon
Spinach Salad with Feta and Mandarin Oranges
Grilled Chicken Smothered Nachos
Strawberry Breakfast Banana Split - uses vanilla yogurt instead of ice cream
The more I look through this recipe book the more recipes I want to try. So far four recipes have been a success and I look forward to trying even more. The full-color pictures also make this book all the more tempting.
