Cook from a book
Challenge Yourself for: 30 days
When was the last time you cracked a cookbook and made a recipe using only whole, all-natural foods? Using recipes doesn’t just provide you with a single exotic meal – it’s a great opportunity to expand both your repertoire and your diet’s nutrition quotient. This month, challenge yourself to prepare one new whole foods-based recipe every week. See if you can make this practice a habit. You’ll be thrilled at all the delicious new meals you learn how to make.

Learning to cook from a book has been a challenge for me, but I am trying harder each time I think of our meal plan… usually we like the meals that we uses recipes for, so whay don’t I do it more often?
i use my weight watchers cook book all the time
I made our entire Christmas Dinner for our extended family. Used Paula Deen for almost all of the dishes. (Turkey dish came from Tyler Florence). Merry Christmas!
I am also trying to gain weight, I love finding new receipes that are great tasting and easy to make. Thanks for the site.
A great one to check out is called, Super Natural Cooking by Heidi Swanson, http://www.101cookbooks.com/supernatural/. Awesome recipies and beautiful photography.
Well, I don’t have to lose weight, but I’m trying very hard to gain weight. When I see a good recipe I save it in my bookmark. When I feel like it I will try it out. I love soups and stews. I cook an entire big pot and freeze it in small plastic containers. This way it saves me a lot of time when I fell like to eat a soup. I also cook my own beef and chicken broth and freeze them also in plastic containers. All I have to do is adding some vegetables, rice or noodles.
I have been watching the ingredients in packaged foods and purchase only things that are god for me. It has been hard but better for me.
So far Berlin, we are the smarty CATS on this challenge! All the best to you!
well. I’m trying very hard to cook more healthy foods. I do use a lot of online recipes to prepare delicious foods. I start out small. I promised myself to eat at least one vegetable and one fruit everyday. So far I had done it. I also cut down on the size of the portion I eat everyday. I also cut down on meat, salt and cholesterol rich fats and oils.
