Suzanne Somers' Get Skinny on Fabulous Food Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book had a lot of the same information as Suzanne Somer's other book on Somersizing "Eat Great, Lose Weight", however, this book has some updates to the original book as well as many more wonderful recipes. I originally started the Somersizing program after hearing that it could level out hormones. Having had two diseases that related to an imbalance in hormones, the idea that this program could balance out my hormones was the big draw. I did have some weight to lose, but that was not the major incentive for starting this program. After 10 weeks on the program, I never felt better in my life. I'm menopausal, but my hot flashes and night sweats have diminished to almost non-existent. I'm eating well and plenty and have so much energy. Oh, and I've lost 19 pounds to date. Some of my friends also started the program when I told them how well I was doing. All have had good results so far. One friend, who is diabetic, is amazed that her blood levels are the same all day. There are no more drastic spikes. Food combining can be a little tough to understand in the beginning, but once you master it, it is not that difficult to maintain. The main problem is the way that we have been conditioned here in the United States to eat over the years (pizza, white pasta with meat sauce, hamburgers, meat and potatoes and chemically altered foods that sit on the shelf for years). I highly recommend this way of eating to anyone who wants to feel healthy and slim down.

In addition to the unique recipe collection, there is an introduction which covers more of the history of North American lighthouses, including sections on organization, construction, lamps, lenses and lights, fog signals, flashing lights, and daily routines.

The Complete Cooking Light Cookbook Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is one comprehensive cookbook. Featured are 1,000 recipes within chapters such as appetizers/beverages, breads, desserts, fish/shellfish, grains/pastas, meatless main dishes, meats, poultry, salads/dressings, sandwiches, sauces/condiments, soups/salads and veg. side dishes.
In true "Cooking Light" fashion, there are complete nutritional breakdowns, serving size recommendations and prep times for each recipe. The additional handy chapters, which describe essential kitchen tools, pantry must-haves, and food substitutes help arm you with the knowledge you need to make healthy eating a lifestyle.
But best of all, there are many full-color photos throughtout the book which give inspiration to those of us who are visually-oriented. Most ingredients can be found in any supermarket and most recipes can be completed within 30-45 minutes (according to the prep and cooking times given).
The only qualm I have is that some of the recipes are repeats from previous Cooking Light cookbooks, and the number of desserts featured. There are too many for my taste, but for those of you who do make desserts often, you'll have plenty to choose from!
All in all, a worthy addition to your cooking library.

Hot Chocolate: 50 Heavenly Cups of Comfort (50 Series) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Fantastic chocolate recipes! Some recipes are just right to drink in the morning instead of coffee. Others are richer and desserty.
The pictures are beautiful. The writing style is fun. This is a great gift book. Just be sure you get one for yourself too.
I loved the copy I bought so much that I am buying this book for everyone for Christmas to give with a coffee mug and a great quality chocolate bar. On the card I am going to say, something nutty like "for my sweet or hot friend" (as appropriate)
