Great Addition to My Cookbook Library by Sherrill Kearney
Sandra Lee’s Cooking Made Light has helped my Mother who has to watch what she eats—-and since I am the one cooking for her this cookbook has made it a breeze. Thanks Sandra for this one.
The Complete Set by Shopping Sherrill
I completed my set of Sandra Lee books and this one was a surprise. I adore the recipes and tired of the chefs adding tons of butter and sour cream-this one is a relief.
My cancer nurse recommended this one to me & glad she did. Chemo exhausts me & I am able to shop for these easy recipes with the recipe cards & then the photos inspire me to eat.
Another Sandra Lee Hit! by 4nyteacher
I love this cookbook! I love Sandra Lee and her show, Semi-Homemade Cooking. I tape her show daily and I have a few of her other cookbooks. I love the idea of light recipes. I am trying to eat great food, but still enoy great flavor. Many cookbooks have “light” or “diet” recipes that include tons of ingredients, take hours to make/prepare, or have really expensive ingredients. Not to mention they often taste gross! This book has lots of ideas for great tasting food that is not going to kill your budget or your schedule. The recipes are practical and easy. I have tried a few of the recipes and I really enjoyed them. My husband didn’t even realize he was eating “light” food. I had some friends over and made a few of the recipes and they all asked for the recipes afterward. My favorites include the mango and black bean salsa, sweet potato fries, the pizza recipes, and pears with almond and chantilly cream. I have to admit though, being a huge dessert person, I wish there were a few more light dessert recipes that didn’t include liquor.
Great recipes for everyone! by Gristastic
After my stint in one of the big, meal-delivery weight-loss programs, I started to round the bend toward my goal weight. It soon came time for me to manage my weight on my own, with healthy, self-prepared meals. This cookbook made it a no-brainer.
Every recipe has a listing of its nutritional information along with the percentage of vitamins in each meal. Truth be told, I’m not terribly into cooking, but the pictures are fantastic and go a long way to motivating me to cook a meal. The fact that most of these recipes are so easy to make is also a huge plus.
I did find one problem, in that some of the ingredients can be a bit difficult to find. Though, I’ve been quite successful at substituting similar items whenever I couldn’t find what was needed at a local market.
While I could take or leave Sandra Lee’s television show, I am very glad to have bought this book. I’ve made 17 of the recipes, thus far. Not only have I enjoyed them, but my husband and VERY picky 2 year old have loved every single one of these healthy meals, as well.
