Oh - I almost forgot!!!
I bought EFL last night! I was so excited. Then I got home and started reading it... heh
Yeah it's good - it's nice to have all those 'clean' recipies in one place, but honestly there isn't much in there I hadn't figured out how to make on my own...
BUT the good thing is, here's a cookbook my fiance KNOWS he can pick up and cook someting out of and it's 'Bodybuilding Food'. He doesn't have to worry about 'is this something you can eat?' That part (I guess) makes it worth the $30.
YAY! I think you will like it. I had the Baked Parmesan Chicken last night. I normally wouldn't have bought green pasta, but I did for this recipe and I actually liked it. It's one of the house's favorites!
ReplyDeleteThe book has made me try things that I normally wouldn't try. Like the Halibut or actually cooking with red/green peppers.
And you can get nutritional information (fat, carbs, proteins) on the Eating for Life website.
HAPPY EATING!
Its a great book! I love the Hot Stuff, Balsamic Salmon Salad, and the Chunky Beef Stew but almost everything is great. I like to try something new from it every week. I've been just entering each recipe into my fitday program as I make one. I never knew the nutritional info was on the website! Thanks Katiefeldmom!
ReplyDeleteMy wife uses EFL alot. Here's a list of favorites:
ReplyDeleteSante Fe Chicken Soup
Spaghetti and Turkey Meatballs
Enchilada Soup w/ Avacado
Carribean Pork Tenderloin (salsa is awesome)
Marinated Flank Steak (my absolute favorite)
Taco Pasta Salad
The recipes are very easy and the ingredients are "normal" stuff we buy at the grocery store. Happy Eating (for Life)!
I love the book too...chicken enchiladas, beef dip, the tuna casserole (I use chicken instead)..mmm mmmm mmm.
ReplyDeleteLike Tim, I appreciate that it is "normal" ingredients in there.
