Good For You Every Day Meals~ A Gooseberry Patch Cookbook Review

A Gooseberry Patch Cookbook Review!

Once again I am excited to review the new (and so far my favorite) Gooseberry Patch Cookbook:Good-For-You Everyday Meals Cookbook (Everyday Cookbook Collection)

Gooseberry Patch

This new book adds to the already fantastic lineup that Gooseberry has and I have cooked my way through this one as well. You may remember a few of my favorites that I reviewed last year : 101 Super Easy Slow-Cooker Recipes Cookbook and Slow Cooking All Year ‘Round: More than 225 of our favorite recipes for the slow cooker, plus time-saving tricks & tips for everyone’s favorite kitchen helper! 

Gooseberry Patch Spaghetti Soup

 A few of my favorites in the NEW Good For You Everyday Meals: Homestyle Country Sausage (pg 19), Chicken and Orzo Soup (pg 62), Overnight Apple-Cinnamon Oats (pg 25), and Spaghetti Soup (pg 39). Those are just the beginning!

  1. I always use the lighter ingredients; low fat cream cheese, sour cream, and cheddar. Reduced sodium broths, skim evaporated milk, and lower sugar ingredients also. Thanks for the opportunity to win! Deb
  2. I bake things and try not to fry too much. Also I don't over salt my food. My son has CHF (Congestive Heart Failure) and lower sodium is required.
  3. To make meals healthier, I try to use leaner cuts of meat, add veggies when I can and have at least one meatless meal a week! We also limit eating out. I serve fresh fruit with every meal.
  4. I use part splenda when a recipe calls for sugar and skim milk instead of whole milk in recipes. I try to put healthy vegetables in stews and soups.
  5. Making healthier substitutions such as: Boullion or salt substituteò for salt Greek yogurt for sour cream or mayo Stevia or applesauce for sugar Quinoa or veggies for higher carbs or fats Leaner meats and a lot less salt
  6. We keep our fave raw fruits and veggies available as snacks - but also serve them with our dinners. Apple slices, strawberries, pineapple, sweet pepper slices, baby carrots are all kid friendly favorites and super healthy so if I want to make sure my kids eat their fruits and veggies at dinner, I serve things I know they like. A dinner side doesn't always have to be cooked! And veggies/fruits are the one area that I am fine with serving different things on each plate based on what people like.
  7. I recently became a vegetarian and that has helped me become healthier. I include many more veggies in my diet. Now unhealthy things don't even appeal to me much anymore. :]
  8. Thankfully we are able to raise our own meat, so that makes me have piece of mind knowing my kids aren't eating all the hormones that are in store meats. Also we have a huge garden that I freeze and can veggies and fruits for the winter months.
  9. Greetings from Colorado! I'm bored to tears at work sso I decided to chewck out your website on my iphone during lunch break. I love the info you present here and can't wwait to take a look when I get home. I'm shocked at how quick your blog loaded on my mobile .. I'm nnot even using WIFI, just 3G ..
