"The SkinnyTaste Cookbook" by Gina Homolka

The popular website has come to life in a new cookbook! The recipes included in this cookkbook claim to be "light on calories, big on flavor." Are they? Will they help people eat a lighter, yet more flavorful diet? Take a look inside and discover the answer for yourself.

Gina Homolka is a home cook who wanted to lighten up her recipes and make them healthier. Then she started to blog about it. "Skinnytaste" is a very popular site attracting people from all areas of the healthy diet spectrum. With this new cookbook, Gina has found a new way of presenting her wonderful recipes. Open up the book to find recipes for such things as: "Petite Baked Crab Cakes," "Skinny Chicken Parmesian," "Kiss My (Shrimp and) Grits," and "Seasoned Sweet Potato Wedges." You will also find helpful hints for a more healthy, well-rounded diet. Pick it up. What have you go to lose?

I have enjoyed the SkinnyTaste blog for a long time, as have many of my co-workers. The recipes in this cookbook bring the blog to life, and invite you to eat healthy. One of my favorite recipes is the "Kiss My (Shrimp and) Grits," which happens to be on the cover. If you like the blog, or are looking for some new recipes for healthy fare, this book is for you! I received my review copy from Blogging for Books in exchange for an honest review.
