Hello All!
Does anyone know of a good sized healthy cookbook??
My hubby will be doing a 15 month job out of town soon and I'm going with him, and will just be working a few hours a week online so I'm going to have a ridiculous amount of time on my hands. I just re-watched Julie & Julia and I think it would be a great time filler and a lot of fun to go from cover to cover in a cookbook.
I'd like to have a big one, about 500 or so recipes so that I don't run out. I would just do the Julia Child one but the woman lived for butter and...well obviously I just can't eat all that butter and show my face around here LOL
Also my hubby is a super picky eater and I'm not too far behind him, so I'm not interested in one that has a lot of crazy recipes...and by crazy I mean exotic fruits/veggies or really any meat other than beef, pork, chicken, turkey, and basic fishes LOL
Anyone have any suggestions?

    I really LOVE my weight watchers cookbook. It's freaking amazing. It's like the gigantic good houskeeping book, but all healthy stuff with nutrition facts. Not many processed ingredients in there either - which is a reason I don't care for Hungry Girl.

    This is the one I have:

    It has soups, salads, desserts, sauces, breads, ect ect ect ect

    It's like 300-400 pages....500+ recipes. Definitely fits the criteria.

    It only has 325 recipes but I highly recommend The Looneyspoons Collection by Janet and Greta Podleski. I have three of their cookbooks and I make their food constantly!!
