My Thoughts
This cook book was packed with some very yummy ideas. I'm always trying to find ways to improve our diet in the house and get the foods we eat cleaner. One area I struggle with is baking. This book is packed with lots of ideas for cookies and other items to satisfy your sweet tooth.One of my favorite sections was the protein/smoothies. It seems easier to buy the processed protein powder to make a drink, but looking over the recipes in this book, I realized that with only a few extra steps to add to my blender, I could make a really delicious protein shake or smoothie that was much better for me without all the added things that go into the mixes.
On top of some delicious meal bars, shakes, and snacks, this book had the most gorgeous photos inside. It made browsing the book much more enjoyable. I liked how crisp the photos were of the different foods and being able to see the textures.
If you're looking for a cookbook with a wide range of recipes that are easy to hard to make, this is a great addiction. I have so many recipes marked to try. The shakes I did try were delicious and satisfying.

As a mother, it is very important for me to cook regularly for my children. However, I don't really want to do this in an uncomfortable kitchen, and therefore I had to order my husband to buy me new Kitchen Cabinets for sale Atlantic City. This was the beginning of my culinary career. I think everything was not in vain in the end.
