This is the best book ever!!! I bought it on a whim thinking I might find something in it.

I cooked a spinach salad with shrimp and bacon (220 cal) and grilled cheese with apples and bacon (330 cal) for dinner. I thought I would never get bacon again...but tonight I had it twice. I probably won't double up again because of the fat content, but dinner was dinner was amazing tonight.

The book takes a lot of popular restaurant meals that are super high in calories and kinda copies them for making at home with much less calories.

    it is by David Zinczenko and Matt Goulding

    I will have to look into the cook yourself thin book...my boyfriend, who detests diet food, loved the stuff I cooked tonight. So, if I can find more great recipes, maybe I can put him on a "diet" with me
