Just Keeping it Simple

When I'm on a diet, I like to try new recipes, but that doesn't mean that I like to make a bunch of floofy, fancy stuff with names that I can't pronounce. It seems like any cookbook I see anymore has to make things look decorative and difficult. This book keeps it simple (and sometimes a little silly), but very good. They look like the recipes that I already make for myself, just this gives you so many more ideas. If you're planning on cooking for more than just your family or yourself, this may not be the book for you, but if you want something very easy, very simple, and tasty too--then here you go.

Great low fat recipes that are easy!

I have never made anything from this cookbook that was not delicious. I have enjoyed having it and I use it religiously to stay on my diet. Using Dawn Hall's recipes I have lost 30lbs. since January. I recommend all of her cookbooks to my friends, but this one is great to get started with.

working woman

I work a full time job and I hate to cook. But my husband also works a full time job and wants to eat. I just LOVE Dawn's books! Fast and Easy and Taste good. That's what my husband and I want. He wants good food and I want it to be fast and easy. I don't know how Dawn has come up with so many recipes. Her mind must be turning every second of the day. Thank goodness I've discovered her cookbooks! Thanks Dawn!!

QUICK, EASY AND YUMMY!!

I bought this cookbook about a week and 1/2 ago. I have cooked out of it nonstop (breakfast, lunch and dinner) since I received it. If you are looking to eat low fat and not give up taste, and not spend a lot of time in the kitchen, this book is it!!!! The recipes are super easy (all 30 minutes or less, and 7 ingredients or less), and all very low fat and good! My family hasn't been disappointed yet. I recommend the pineapple snack cake, it takes 2 minutes to make, 20 minutes to bake and tastes just like pineapple upside down cake with only 1 gram of fat!!!! Try this book, it is worth it!

tasty, easy-to-prepare low-fat meals

Cozy Homestead Publishing, Ohio. 1998. 288 pp. hardcover, spiral-bound interior. illustrations; index.Hall's cooking experience and imagination can make treats out of the most familiar foods. Adding fat-free cream cheese, a fat-free butter spread, and skim milk to mashed potatoes, she makes Mashed Potatoes Deluxe. With the addition of a sauce of mustard, fat-free sour cream, and dill weed, spring asparagus becomes especially tasty. Satisfying, filling vegetarian chili is but one other of Hall's recipes among the 240 recipes in her cookbook. Health-conscious individuals, especially ones looking to control or lose weight, could not do better than to turn to Hall's numerous healthful, easy-to-prepare meals. With each recipe, in addition to preparation and ingredients, she notes time to prepare (under 15 minutes in nearly every case) and calories, fat, cholesterol, and sodium. There's recipes for every part of a meal, from appetizers through soups and entrees to desserts. Hall was an aerobic instructor and facilitator for W.O.W. (Watching Our Weight, which holds classes and provides information on a low-fat lifestyle) whose enthusiasm for good health and eating right is inspirational.Henry Berry, Book ReviewerEditor/Publisher, The Small Press Book Review
