in Recipes
I am a big collector of cookbooks... unfortunately not many of mine include a lot of "healthy" recipes. Even with the great stuff you can find on the internet, I would like to purchase a new cookbook to go with my new healthy lifestyle. I love just sitting and reading through the recipes with the book in my HAND.... and figuring out what I want to try!

My question to you, my MFP friends..... can anyone recommend a good, healthy type cookbook (that doesn't cost a fortune)? I'm sure I could find plenty of info on the internet, but I'd like recommendations from those who have actually used them.

Thanks!

    I have a Taste Of Home Comfort Food Diet Cookbook. It gives you all of the nutritional info about every recipe. I love it. Gives you recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner plus dessert! Even has a six week meal plan in the front. I think it was about $18. I know that is alot, but I bought at my kids book fair at school. I can send you some of the recipes if you would like.

    The Complete Whole Grains Cookbook by Judith Finlayson. The recipes are great, but the book also has a large front section that provides great information on each of the grains, how to store, cook, nutritional info, etc.

    I also love The Biggest Loser Family Cookbook.

    I'm not sure about cookbooks with meat, but some great healthy vegetarian cookbooks:
    Lindsay Nixon's Happy Herbivore, Colleen Patrick G.'s Vegan Table, Robin Robertson- lots of good titles.
    Even if you're a meat eater (my fam eats meat) they give lots of good ideas for veggies! :)
