                                                                                Yogurt: By Janet Fletcher




What a great book! I love yogurt and cooking with it in recipes is even better! This is a beautiful cookbook full of wonderful, simple recipes! And healthy recipes!! I'm new to Greek yogurt so I like how I can use it in different ways to the recipes in this book. The Fresh Pineapple Lassi was delish!!! I loved how it was only 4 ingredients and healthy to boot!

We also made the Strawberry Mango Smoothie, Cherry Tomato Raita, Cucumber Salad with Yogurt, raisins and walnuts and mint. Very good! We also made the Roasted tomato Bruschetta with yogurt cheese. Very good, too!

I also like how she goes into detail about how to make homemade yogurt. Its very detailed. I will have to try and make some for sure! This is an easy, simple, beautiful cookbook to follow. I love the simple, easy recipes in this book. That's a huge plus! And using yogurt in recipes is not only cost effected, its healthy for you!!!

I would recommend this book to every home cook!!!

Grill It, Braise It, Broil It



Loved this book! I was so excited to receive this cookbook as my family is starting to eat healthier. This book came at just the right time! The recipes are pretty simple. Some ingredients I don't always have on hand but the pros are a healthy meal so no big deal. The pictures are beautiful.

This book is jammed pack with healthy, good-for-you recipes. I also enjoy the book that tells you how to eat right. How to cut out the sugar. Living a healthy lifestyle and eating a healthy diet are just a few steps in this book. I also enjoyed the microwaving section of healthy foods. Who knew?

We  have made the Crockpot Meatball Soup with spinach and parmesan on page 10.  We have also tried the Southwestern Sweet Potatoes. I'm enjoying the recipes. I'm planning on buying the women in my family each one of these cookbooks! Its wonderful to have cookbooks like this one.


I would recommend this cookbook to everyone!!!
