The books are written by sisters and they are hams. The book is filled with humourous anecdotes and tips about healthy eating. The recipes are low fat and reasonably healthy but the most important part is that it is delicious!
So far I have made the guacamole. Holy guacamole it was good. The difference from what I usually make was a bit of cumin. It was the missing link.
I made Bolognese sauce too. Which is fancy for meat sauce, you know, with spaghetti. It has ground beef and Italian sausage and balsamic vinegar (which was the little something something always missing from my meat sauce). We had it with spaghetti squash rather than pasta and... I never took a picture...too busy hoovering it off my plate.
And tonight, I made the pizza crust I always make from the Looney Spoons book and then added the toppings from the new book for Mexican pizza. And made a plain one for the boys, because, you know, they still haven't delved into the things we like.
This one wasn't as good as I planned however, I know just how to fix it. A little refried bean combination for the sauce me thinks...and some of the guacamole to go with it.
Anyway, a good gift idea for anyone you know who might like to cook (there are actually people out there who do! I am one of them!) and likes to eat healthier. It was $19.99 at Costco.

Thanks for the tip. I might buy it for myself. Husband needs to lose weight and we could all eat better. I feel like a lot of what I make is fine for us, but definitely need some help.
Yum, that pizza looks amazing! Not sure I can buy that book here, but it sounds fab! Any chance you can share the pizza crust recipe with just lil' ole me? I'd be so grateful!
oh gosh that looks soooo good...
They are great books, aren't they? I always enjoy their show when I manage to catch it too.
I have one of the original books! SO GREAT.
I might have to ask for this one for my birthday. :)
Looks DELICIOUS. I love cooking as well, I may just need to add it to my Christmas list!
