I'm looking for a cookbook that has daily recipes with a weekly grocery list. 2 serving recipes. Healthy cooking too. Nutritional info for each recipe would be nice too.
Does anyone know of anything?

    That is a tall order. My favorite has always been Joy of Cooking or America'a Test Kitchen.

    I stopped buying cookbooks since I can find recipes on line. My favorite recipe website is SkinnyTaste. So far everything I have made from there has been good. They dont have a weekly shopping list though.

    I use online recipes a lot too. You can find anything in a google search.
    Here is my favorite though for 2 servings:

    When I find one to make, I just print it and then it makes it easy to add to my grocery list.

    Try cooking light magazine's website. It has a weeknight meal planner, though it may not be exactly what you are looking for. I am also a big fan of Skinny Taste.

    America's Test Kitchen has a few books for lighter cooking although I think most of them are meals for four They have some cooking for two books out there that indicate which recipes are light and those give calorie counts etc. Although I also copy recipes from online, America's Test Kitchen recipes are hard to beat because they almost always taste really good, can't say the same for some others I have tried! I'm afraid I'm not much of a fan of Skinny Taste, not after I tried those black bean brownies UGH!

    The MFP blog might be helpful.

    America's Test Kitchen Cooking School is the bomb. it weighs about 800 pounds but is incredibly informative. For "diet cooking" I think the Weight Watchers cookbooks are very good as well, Also, Rocco DiSpirito has several excellent volumes Of "Eat This.. Not That". And, in conjunction with a series on LRW, "Eat Yourself Thin.". Very nice recipes with all the nutritional info. All I can think of.
