For the next three days of the 12 Days of Christmas Cookbook Giveaways, I decided to forget about the critics’ lists and instead turn to the cookbooks that readers want most — as evidenced by Amazon’s list of best-selling cookbooks for 2014. Looking at the Top 3 cookbooks, I’m intrigued by how completely different from one another these three cookbooks are. At least one of them is bound to suit your tastes. To celebrate the 9th Day of Christmas, we’re buying a copy of the #3 cookbook on the list — The Skinnytaste Cookbook: Light on Calories, Big on Flavor — to give to one lucky Cooks&Books&Recipes reader. I was already a fan of the Skinnytaste blog. (Have you tried Skinny Garlic Parmesan Fries? Or one of her many “zoodles” recipes?) Now, after reading about Gina’s debut cookbook and considering my get-in-better-shape/health resolution for 2015 (it IS January 2, after all), I’ve decided I need to buy myself a copy too. Happy New Year to us!
Gina Homolka is America’s most trusted home cook when it comes to easy, flavorful recipes that are miraculously low-calorie and made from all-natural, easy-to-find ingredients. Her blog, Skinnytaste, is the number-one go-to site for slimmed-down recipes that you’d swear are anything but. It takes only one look to see why people go crazy for Gina’s food: cheesy, creamy Fettuccini Alfredo with Chicken and Broccoli with only 420 calories per serving; breakfast dishes like Make-Ahead Western Omelet “Muffins” that truly fill you up until lunchtime; and sweets such as Double Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies that are low in sugar and butter-free but still totally indulgent.
The Skinnytaste Cookbook features 150 amazing recipes, each with detailed nutritional information. As a busy mother of two, Gina started Skinnytaste when she wanted to lose a few pounds herself. She turned to Weight Watchers for help and liked the program but struggled to find enough tempting recipes to help her stay on track. Instead, she started “skinny-fying” her favorite meals so that she could eat happily while losing weight. The Skinnytaste Cookbook is an incredible resource of fulfilling, joy-inducing meals that every home cook will love.
We’re giving away a copy of The Skinnytaste Cookbook to one lucky Cooks&Books&Recipes reader. Enter below.
