So You Say You Like to Cook

I like to cook which poses a problem for me when I go on a diet. I miss cooking. Luckily for me, I stumbled on a new show on the OWN Network where two girls review a cookbook each day. This week they reviewed Jessica Seinfeld’s cookbook, Deceptively Delicious. She hides a lot of vegetables in her brownies, dips and casseroles making them better for you and lower in calories.

They also reviewed a book which I feel compelled to run out and buy. The Best Light Recipe Cookbook looked amazing. They made chocolate chip cookies, Fettucine Alfredo, and New York style cheesecake. The great thing about this cookbook is that it shows you the nutritional information for the original cheesecake recipe (580 calories per slice) and the nutritional information for the light version (340 calories per slice).

So if you hate those prepackaged diet meals and miss cooking in the kitchen, these two cookbooks may be just what you need to make healthy low-fat real food. Bon Appetit.
