fj62 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 SIMPLE, TASTY AND HEALTHY cookbook does it exist. Simmple as in something that I don't have to run to the health food store and restock my entire pantry. I do have things like wheat germ, whole grains, etc... Tasty as in you don't sit down and feel like you're eating cardboard and my whole family would enjoy to some degree. Healthy as in little to no processed ingredients, balanced with proteins, carbs and fat. Easy on the meat, love beans and whole grains If it exists, I would love the title!

Nakia Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I have Whole Foods for the Whole Family and everything I've ever made using the recipes has been great. I bought mine from the Love to Learn catalog. Their website is http://www.lovetolearn.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitestavern Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Cooking Light magazine is full of really really good recipes. It's the only magazine I cannot give up. They do yearly compilation books you could find (probably very inexpensively). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyGrace Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 ingredients? I'm looking for what the OP is, but also reasonably inexpensive. Doesn't have to be cheap, just not too expensive. Note: I will second Whole Foods for the Whole Family-this is the basic and good cookbook for whole foods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFSinIL Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Anything by Jane Brody would fit the bill. Jane Brody's Good Food Book is my fav. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer in MI Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I have Whole Foods for the Whole Family and everything I've ever made using the recipes has been great. I bought mine from the Love to Learn catalog. Their website is http://www.lovetolearn.net I'll second this recommendation! Everything I've made out of this cookbook has been great! In fact, we're having the enchiladas tonight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaxMom Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 (edited) ingredients? I'm looking for what the OP is, but also reasonably inexpensive. Doesn't have to be cheap, just not too expensive. Note: I will second Whole Foods for the Whole Family-this is the basic and good cookbook for whole foods. No. Their ingredients are pretty standard. You can browse their entire archive here. Under the "Food" menu at the top, pick recipes. You can browse by meal/course or by main ingredient, etc. They really don't use prepared stuff, other than condiments, stock, etc. ETA: After my second daughter was born (and I lost exactly 1 lb between her birth and first birthday :glare:) my husband and I went on the "Cooking Light Diet", making everything from their recipes. We each lost about 40 lbs. Edited February 16, 2009 by MyCrazyHouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyGrace Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Good to know one can actually lose weight with it too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz CA Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I'll second this recommendation! Everything I've made out of this cookbook has been great! In fact, we're having the enchiladas tonight! I found "Nourishing Traditions" an eye opener and a reminder of how slow cooked and simple food really should taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekanamom Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Eating for Life by Bill Phillips Some of my favorite healthy and quick recipes are in this book. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matryoshka Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I love all the South Beach cookbooks, even when not dieting. The Whole Foods Market cookbook also has lots of tasty recipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenniferB Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I found "Nourishing Traditions" an eye opener and a reminder of how slow cooked and simple food really should taste. I love this book, but it's far from simple. You can simplify the recipes, but then they wouldn't be traditional. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol in Cal. Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 It has been published, revised, and republished with several names. The last one that I remember seeing is "Quick, Light, and Healthy." It saved my sanity when I had to go onto a very low fat diet because of gall bladdar problems. The recipes all 'work' and they use pretty normal ingredients. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penelope Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 This: http://www.amazon.com/Essential-EatingWell-Cookbook-Flavors-Eating/dp/0881506303 Based on the Eating Well magazine, which is great also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Nourishing Traditions is a great book to have on hand, but it is so much more than a cookbook. It will change the way you think about food. For easy, healthy recipes, I like Moosewood Cooks at Home. Many of our favorites come from that book.
