"These easy-to-assemble dishes keep both family mealtime planning and healthy eating in mind with kid-friendly, 'simplified and skinny-fied' dishes. Using Homolka’s strategies, home cooks can deliver balanced, delicious meals even when time is an obstacle."- Publishers Weekly
A New York Times Bestseller
Get the recipes everyone is talking about, handy nutrition facts, and 125 stunning photographs in the debut cookbook from the wildly popular blog Skinnytaste.
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 only takes 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: 125 all-new dishes and 25 must-have favorites. 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.
With 100 stunning photographs and detailed nutritional information for every recipe, The Skinnytaste Cookbook is an incredible resource of fulfilling, joy-inducing meals that every home cook will love.
(Please note that nutritional information is provided with every recipe, but the most up-to-date Weight Watchers points can be found online at skinnytaste.com.)
Love! I've been following Gina's blog for years, printing recipes and keeping them in a binder, and finally bought both of her cookbooks. The recipes are simple and I've loved everything I've made so far. I cook almost exclusively Skinny Taste recipes for dinner and my husband and I have both lost weight since we starting eating better 3 months ago. Gina's recipes make it easy to eat healthier and still enjoy delicious foods. My husband was skeptical, but he's admitted that the recipes don't taste "skinny". The recipes make a good-sized portion and since I'm only cooking for two, I often make the whole recipe and freeze half.Now I understand the cult following and rave reviews. I am now, too, a raving fan--and it's a diet cookbook! Sssshhhh! At the time I bought this, I'd heard nothing about it. I had simply rarely seen a cookbook with so many glowing reviews, especially for one with "skinny" in the title. I have reviewed scores of cookbooks on Amazon and have bookshelves full, like some do a reading library. But I must say, this is one of the most well-done I have personally ever seen myself. I can understand, now, the cult following it's received.First, let's touch on how "now" this cookbook is...by that I mean it has stepped out of old school cookbooks and how they have always been done, and considered today's audience and what they might need. So many of us are on special diets or have to entertain for a family member or guest who is and pull something together--whether that be gluten-free, vegetarian, something for a family who works during the day and needs crockpot meals, something for a family who works all the time and only wants to cook on weekends and then freeze the meals... this book took that all into account. Beside each recipe there is a color and letter coding-V for vegetarian, GF for gluten free, freezer friendly, crockpot etc. And, for those of us who count calories and want to know nutrients or carbs, it also has all that too! That took some time, but boy is it handy, even if you yourself only use it occassionally.The photos are plentiful and throughout and professionally done with good lighting that makes you want to eat it. I have had a few cookbooks that actually made me turned off to the meal due to the grey lighting or even ones I knew were fake like a slow cooker photo of mac and cheese that showed it browned on top (that does not occur in a slow cooker). Not so for this one, it's how the recipe turns out and they make you want to lick the page!But no cookbook is complete without good recipes and this one sets the bar. You could honestly set down any of these dishes in front of a family of boys who who never diet in their lives and they will want seconds and thirds--the taste is fantastic! These are truly restaurant quality meals, that are obviously tested and tried and perfected. I have seen many recipes for fish tacos, for example, but the ingredients here are totally different and more full of flavor. It's also easy to substitute things for even stricter diets.I LOVE that when the author finds brands that work best in a recipe, she also lists those. It feels like you are reading someone's personal cookbook that has cooked the recipe many times but found what brands stand out (for example King Author flour when using wheat flour. I agree.) Not in a commercial way or trying to sell it, but just to say which ones she personally uses. Some authors will not do this unless the company pays them to use their name in the book. This is clearly not the case and also clearly only done when it makes a difference in taste.There are great make ahead recipes and these feel original. I rarely ever eat out, preferring to cook all meals at home so I feel like over the years I have seen the same old tired recipes made the same old tired ways on the internet. These have new ways and methods and often they are with not only dieting in mind but they have a clear angle of a focus on health as well and satiety. The pages have facts for back up, like a recipe for PB & J overnight oats in a jar (make ahead the night before for a busy morning where you still need a good breakfast.) notes how filling and healthy oats are and why. (Which is true.)These are FANTASTIC recipes, not just the same ones redone with diet ingredients, but original and loaded with flavor. Nothing comes out bad, nothing comes out off, these are good enough to serve at dinner parties and more importantly--to make you feel like you are not dieting.Examples:TUSCAN PANZANELLA SALAD WITH GRILLED GARLIC BREADSUMMER LOBSTER ROLLSMONGOLIAN BEEF AND BROCCOLIFRENCH BREAD PIZZA SUPREMETERIYAKI GLAZED STUFFED PORK CHOPS WITH PINEAPPLE SALSAROAST BEEF SANDWICHES WITH CREAMY HORSERADISH SPREADCHICKPEA AND POTATO CURRYSPICY BLACKBEAN BURGERS WITH CHIPOTLE MAYOPEAR AND BRIE GRILLED CHEESESTEAK SANDWICHESBLACK BEAN BURRITO BOWLSCILANTRO LIME SHRIMPCHEESY BAKED PANNE WITH EGGPLANTSILKY CHOCOLATE CREAM PIELOADED NACHO POTATO SKINSITALIAN SAUSAGE WITH PEPPERS AND ONIONWARM APPLE PIE CRUMBLEGUMBOS, STIR FRIES, MAIN DISH SALADS, MEATLESS MAIN DISH CHAPTERSSHRIMP AND GRITSCOCONUT PANNA COTTA WITH RASPBERRIESDOUBLE CHOCOLATE CHUNK WALNUT COOKIESWINTER POTATO, KALE AND SAUSAGE FRITTATATHAI COCONUT MUSSELSC ROLLATINI STUFFED WITH ZUCCHINI AND MUSHROOMSLASAGNA (ZUCCHINI STRIPS ARE USED RATHER THAN PASTA AND I SWEAR YOU WON'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE!)CUBANA STYLE STUFFED PORK TENDERLOINSALISBURY STEAK WITH MUSHROOM GRAVYYou get the idea. That is a very small sampling. At nearly 350 pages, you get loads of recipes and loads of photos. Whether you never eat red meat, eat only white meat, eat only seafood, eat no animal protein...or switch it up all the time, you can easily find a chapter on whatever suits your fancy or your mood that day.The dishes are GREAT, not just recipes but really things you savor.This one is done right, not just recipes grabbed to fill a cookbook but original ways of making skinny dishes taste better. It's a gem.I LOVE this book I LOVE this book....I make meals from it every night. The recipes are easy and delicious. Since I started cooking using Skinnytaste my husband is down 32 pounds, I am down 17 pounds and my 12 year old son has lost 20 pounds. This book has helped my family get healthy and fit!
