Easy Fast and Healthy Cookbook Options




Cooking Light Superfast Suppers: Speedy Solutions for Dinner Dilemmas $23.07

Amazon Review:
I received this cookbook as a gift. This is the first cookbook that I've found in which the recipes are simple and quick enough to make after work without being a burden and the food is always delicious. I've probably made 30 of the dishes now and they have all been hits with my family. This is my favorite cookbook out of the 100 or so I have. I use it everyday.

Cooking Light Cook's Essential Recipe Collection: Weeknight: 57 essential recipes to eat smart, be fit, live well (the Cooking Light.cook's ESSENTIAL RECIPE COLLECTION)$12.21

Amazon Review:
This is one of my favorite books that I have actually used. I have many other cooking books that I have not really used. I scan through them and never really followed a recipe. This book is great. Lots of healthy recipes inside and it has a little bit of everything as far as fish, beef, chicken, etc. What is great about the book too is the nutrition information. Every recipe has its own picture so you know how your dish is supposed to come out. There are also lots of tips and ideas on making and preparing dishes faster and easier. Great book!

Slow & Easy: Fast-Fix Recipes for Your Electric Slow Cooker by Natalie Haughton $15.61

Amazon Review:
Wonderful time-saving recipes for those of us who have too few minutes in a day!

The Bon Appetit Cookbook: Fast Easy Fresh by Barbara Fairchild $23.07

Amazon Review:
This is a really great book for anyone who wants a good tasting, not-prepackaged, relatively healthy meal - FAST. I've made quite a few of these dishes and they are really wonderful. Even my children (6 and 8) enjoy them and can help prepare the meals. Nearly every recipe can be made in less than 30-45 minutes. Those that take longer do so only because they need to be baked. The book reads to me like how I imagine actual chefs cook for themselves at home. Quick, fresh, tasty food in innovative combinations. The ingredients aren't obscure and often utilize time-saving ingredients like store roasted chicken and boneless/skinless chicken strips. I really enjoy and use this book and would highly recommend it to anyone

Pillsbury Fast and Healthy Cookbook: 350 Easy Recipes for Every Day $17.13

Amazon Review:
I have only had this cookbook for a week but I have used it every night for dinner. The recipes are delicious and so easy to make. I have been searching for a low fat, fast, and easy cookbook that included nutritional information for a long time! I love that it tells you ALL the nutritional info, not just calories. The pictures seem to be a true representation of what you end up cooking. My husband and my 3 year old have been very pleased with the past several dinners. I'm happy because most of the recipes take less than 30 minutes to prepare. I know I will enjoy this cookbook for a very long time. It is a must have!!!
