From the Back Cover

How would you like to eat rich, flavorful, healthy food at home and not worry about calories?

Today show nutritionist Joy Bauer has helped millions of people improve their health, and now she wants to improve their home-cooked meals as well. Tired of the misconception that you have to dine out to eat delicious food, Joy proves in Slim and Scrumptious that not only can you eat fresh, rich, and filling food, but that it is quick, affordable, and easy, too!

Slim and Scrumptious features more than seventy-five recipes for every meal and every taste. Whether you want Double Chocolate Pancakes or Eggs Benedict for breakfast, Sesame Chicken Tenders or Spicy Pork Tacos with Sassy Slaw for lunch, or Spice-Rubbed Flank Steak with Chimichurri and Creamy Spinach for dinner, Joy shows you that classic, rich food can still be made to taste great with just a fraction of the fat and calories. She also includes fun snacks, desserts, and appetizers that will keep you satisfied all day long, such as Cinnamon Cheesecake Fondue, Frozen Hot Chocolate, and Banana Pecan Bread.

With every recipe, Joy helps you stretch your food and cooking dollars for everything from a fast and easy family meal to a relaxing and romantic dinner for two. These meals are so amazingly delicious, no one (but the chef!) will ever know that they're healthy, too.

I've tried many of the recipes in this book. My kids are not so picky eaters and were willing to try the things made from this book but, weren't crazy about any of them. However, my husband and I really enjoyed them. The Chicken Lettuce wraps are outstanding. My husband has raved over them to everyone. Preparation is extremely labor intensive though. Lots of chopping.
The Crispy Kale was surprisingly addictive! I couldn't stop eating it. One of my 3 year olds like it too. My husband couldn't get past the smell of it.
Overall, we're having fun trying these recipes and know we're eating healthier in the process. We're also incorporating foods into our diets we probably otherwise wouldn't.

I too viewed the Today Show segment with Joy introducing her new cookbook.
Since making my purchase I've cooked:
**The Chicken Fettuccine Alfradeo with Sun-dried Tomatoes (pg 88)
**The Italian Chicken and Sausage Stew (pg 68). Yummmm! Both are easy to assemble and taste delicious. I had tons leftover (there are just two of us) and both recipes freeze just fine.
**The Creamed Spinached recipe (pg 185) is the only way I can get spinach into my husbands diet. It's now a side dish at least a once a week.
**I was intrigued by the Crispy Kale recipe (pg 177). I admit I used foil on the cookie-sheet, (A NO-NO) this resulted in the kale starting to BURN at 8 minutes. I was amazed with the lite-airy texture of the kale. Each piece melted in my mouth. I do think kale is an acquired taste. I'll try the recipe again without the foil.
"Slim and Scrumptious" will be my primary "girlfriend" Christmas gift this season. Many thanks Joy, for creating this wonderful, healthy, easy cookbook.

5.0 out of 5 stars Healthy meals for your entire family.

I decided to try this cookbook after viewing Joy's segment on the Today show. I have to admit I was tired of cooking healthy boring meals for me, and then cooking something else for the family as they were sick of my "healthy meals". I was definately stuck in a rut, and to be honest I figured there were only so many ways to cook healthy, and I'm not that adventurous when it comes to cooking.
I have only had this book for a week and I can't wait to try all the recipes. The 3 I have cooked so far (Beef and Bell Pepper, Turkey Meatballs and AJ's Mac n Cheesy) have been a huge hit, not only with me, but my family. They have been pouring over the pages and fighting over what they want me to make next. Finally, meals I can cook that are not only healthy but tasty enough that everyone in my family will eat them. No more cooking something for me and then something else for them. This is HUGE!! Joy, thanks for making it enjoyable, easy and most importantly healthy.

I have purchased more cookbooks then I care to think about. I am constantly searching the web for new ideas. I think I am done buying any more cookbooks AND searching the web because this book is AWESOME!!!!!!! Everything I have cooked so far has been a hit. The recipes are so straight forward and all of the instructions are precise and well thought out. I love how she'll explain that while something is cooking you can start chopping the veggies (or something like that) and her times are perfect! The food has been so flavorful without being overpowering. I highly, highly recommend this book to anyone...you don't need to be watching what you're eating because again, this is one healthy cookbook that didn't forget that people like their food with flavor!!!

Besides having interesting recipes,I find it comforting to know that the meals I'm making from this book are healthy. I've made the Chicken Wraps a number of times and they are delicious every time, and provide another great way to 'dress up' chicken. It's fun to be able to cook and serve interesting dishes that are healthy! I'm a fan. I also bought this book for my sister.
