The Food You Crave: Luscious Recipes for a Healthy Life
The Food You Crave: Luscious Recipes for a Healthy Life
Do you think that healthy food couldn’t possibly taste good? Does the idea of “eating healthy” conjure up images of roughage and steamed vegetables? Author Ellie Krieger, host of Food Network’s Healthy Appetite, will change all that. A registered dietitian, Ellie is also a lover and proponent of good, fresh food, simply but deliciously prepared. And she’s not about denial–no nonfat foods here, because when you take the fat out of natural foods, in go the chemicals. Don’t deny yourself butter–use a pat of it, but put it front and center on those mashed potatoes, so you can revel in it with all your senses. The Food You Crave is all you’ll need to change the way you eat and change the way you feel. It contains 200 recipes that cover every meal of the day and every craving you might have. Every recipe contains a complete nutritional breakdown, as well as tips on ingredients and techniques that will keep you eating smart and eating well.
Customer Review: Healthy, Delicious Recipes with REAL food
This is my current favorite cookbook! I love the Barefoot Contessa books, but Ina’s recipes are just not very healthy! This is a book that you can use every day.
I have loved Elie on the Food network since she started. This book is even better than I hoped it would be. I do not care for recipes that include a lot of fake ingredients — like fat free cheese. Elie’s recipes call for whole, nutritious foods. I have made lots of delicious recipes from this book: sweet and sour brisket, the best jambalaya ever, thai halibut, tuscan chicken and vegetables, fish tacos… Most of the recipes are fairly simple and help me get dinner on the table in about 30 minutes. The recipes that take longer mostly have long periods of unattended cooking. The nutrition information is very complete. As a Weight Watcher, I appreciate being able to easily calculate points. This is a must have for every home cook!
Customer Review: Finally!! Ellie Has a Cookbook!
I am just so excited this book is finally here!! I printed off every one of Ellie’s recipes I could get my hands on from the internet and have been cooking from that sad pile of print outs for about a year now. And now all our faves are in this beautiful book! My first, and still my favorite Ellie recipe, is her Pasta Salad with Spinach, Walnuts and Feta Cheese. That one alone is worth the price of the book! Her Caesar Salad with Grilled Shrimp is a very close second - that salad dressing is absolutely the best! The other night I made her Roast Salmon with Grapefruit Shallot Sauce and it was positively fantastic. Her Chile Rubbed Steak Tacos with Avocado Salsa are a fabulous solution for my Mexican food obsession!
I love her approach to food because I too prefer real food to lightened up diet foods with lots of chemicals. I’d rather have no mayonnaise than light mayo. It’s so refreshing to find recipes that don’t require a lot of packaged diet foods to make dishes that are lower in calories. I love to cook and eating healthfully used to mean lots of steaming and baking things bare…boring to make and to eat! But I get to cook and eat to my to my heart’s quite literal content with her recipes! I am really looking forward to cooking and eating my way through the rest of this book!

Customer Review: The Essential Exercise Video
A must-own exercise video, in this Leslie takes you on a 25 minute intense aerobics workout. Using only basic exercise moves (kicking, side-stepping, kick backs and knee lifts, mostly), Sansone gets you out of your seat with fast-paced music, inspirational words for dieters and overly enthusiastic comments on how well you’re doing. In all fairness, nothing has helped me more than this video. I’ve been using this (varied with a twenty minute audio cassette also by Leslie- great for traveling) three times a week for two years. I lost the ten pounds I wanted to and haven’t gained an ounce back since, WITH NO DIET CHANGES! The short duration of the tape is also encouraging, unlike a Richard Simmons (or most other similar workout tapes), you’re not dancing your buns off for upwards of an hour, it’s just 25 minutes! A must-own way for getting a healthy, non-obsessive workout without leaving your living room.
Customer Review: The best yet for couch potatos
I would highly recommend this tape to anyone that is just starting to exercise or has never exercised. It is so easy to do and follow. I have had knee surgery, and cannot do to much twisting or jumping, and this tape is just what I have been looking for. I will certainly purchase more of Leslie’s tapes in the future.

Customer Review: Taste like Cherry Pie
These are wonderful for travel and snacks. The taste is great. Most rawfood that is suppose to taste like something cooked doesn’t to me. This does. They have a new flavor key lime pie that is also great.
Customer Review: Larabar’s Cherry Pie
Cherry pie is my favorite Larabar! What better way to enjoy a completely natural, unprocessed treat. Plus they taste fabulous, too. Of the 6 or so varieties of Larabars I’ve tried, cherry pie is definitely the best. My tip: avoid the banana one.
