Healthy Cookbooks

Does anyone have any favorite low-cal healthy cookbook suggestions? I'm looking for ones that use everyday ingredients that even my kids will eat. Not those that have weird, expensive or hard to find ingredients.

I use the Hungry Girl cookbooks they r great and my 2 younger kids r picky eaters and they eat the recipes out those books. They do have a website u can subscribe to and they also have a few recipes if u would like to try them before gettin the books

I love Cooking LIght. It comes out monthly (or almost every month, can't remember) but i get a subscription. LOTS of recipes there. I also love hungry girl. Myrecipes.com has a lot of yummy recipes. Weight watchers also...

The Most Decadant Diet Ever by Devin Alexander, I can't believe it's not fattening by Devin Alexander, Better Homes & Gardens Eat Healthy Lose Weight, Volumes 1 & 2, Family Circle Eat What You Love and Lose, Taste of Home Guilt Free Cooking, Taste of Home Comfort Food Diet Cookbook, and Now Eat This by Rocco Dispirito. I used every single one of these to mix it up and keep something different, but healthy, on the table every night. As a matter of fact I did a pasta dish from the Most Decadant Diet Ever last night for Christmas. I wanted to balance out my day with something lower in calories and healthier. I am JUST like you and want every day things that I can find at the grocery store and that are not going to taste bland and all of these books have them. I have spent the year, during this process, changing out my cookbook collection with these ones.

I also cook alot from the eatbetteramerica website. I am a person who doesn't like to cook the same things over and over again. I never have been! So when I started this journey it was important for me to have a huge selection of places, and books, to choose recipes from. All of the cookbooks that I mention are on Amazon.com and you can read tons of reviews there. I will not purchase anything without reading reviews and spent a lot of time reading about each of these before I got them.

Hope that helps.

I just got the Hungry Girl ones for Christmas and the recipes look great.

I like getting the Taste of Home big 3 ring binder cookbooks too. While they aren't all low cal meals, they have all the nutritional ingredients for all their recipes so it's much easier to log the foods!
