DESCRIPTION:
A. Nelson said TERRIFIC FOOD AND GREAT INFO. I just received CRAZY PLATES two days ago. Afer trying just two recipes, I am SOLD on this book! The food is great, it is easy to prepare, and the whole family loves it! I am on Weight Watchers and my husband is a diabetic. The nutritional information included with each recipe makes choosing good-for-us foods a breeze. The Berried Treasure muffins are already a hit at our house with just one batch! I collect cookbooks, and this one is bound to become one of my most used. You can be sure I will be buying LOONEYSPOONS, also by the Podleski sisters, too. I've lost 73 pounds - and still going! This book, and its companion Looney Spoons, are fantastic. Partly with the help of these two books, I have been able to lose 73 pounds since last Christmas (OK, I had a lot to lose! :)) The recipes are more delicious than I thought possible - even preferable to "regular" recipies!My favorite from this book is the Forrest Gumbo, a terrific and extremely low fat/low calorie gumbo that anyone can put together in just a few minutes. All of the other recipies we have tried are extremely tasty and are easy to prepare as well.A nice feature of the book is that every recipe has the fat and calorie information listed clearly at the bottom . rebecca said Tasty, creative, and my most used cookbook. I love this cookbook. I have a couple low-fat cookbooks that never get used, a gourmet one that's wonderful to read, harder to make, and various others. What I love about this one is that the recipes are flavorful and 90% are good right off the page. Other cookbooks feel like they weren't edited or tested; this one is fine. The recipes are mostly regular things--stew, fajitas, casseroles--that are enlivened with creative, healthy (but tasty) ingredients. Instructions don't require you to have a gourmet kitchen either. It is worth a purchase!!!
Still short on funds and needing expert advice, they approached Dave Chilton (author of the 2-million-copy bestseller The Wealthy Barber and popular PBS-TV personality). Their success story is the stuff of legend. The Podleski sisters put everything into their first cookbook--literally. Janet and Greta Podleski have been profiled in People, interviewed on the "Today Show," and sold themselves into bestselling heaven on QVC. The rest is history! . He was so taken by the sis
Fascinating facts and stats on: healthy eating/lifestyle issues such as cholesterol, fiber, salt, low-fat eating, and more The Ex Files. Say it Ain't So. Who'da Thunk? Why do apples float? Why does popcorn pop? Interesting food questions you never thought to ask and never thought you'd need the answers. Tips and tricks to make you a magician in the kitchen! What the heck is it? Unusual ingredients or cooking techniques explained. The Looneyspoons sisters are at it again! They've whipped up a brand-new batch of recipes so insanely good (and good for you), there could be only one explanation: Janet and Greta Podleski are crazy about food. Easy ways to get more movement into your life -- it's not quite like having a personal trainer, but it's a lot cheaper -- and still lots of fun! Complete up-to-date nutritional information Personal responses to their fans' letters and questions Special sections on diet and lifestyleAll-new, all-wonderful, low-fat recipes including: The Thigh Who Loved Me (Easy-to-make and extra tasty oven-barbequed chicken thighs), The Six Million Dollar Manicotti, My Yammy Spice (A nutritious twist on regular oven-baked fries), and Tuna Turner (Grilled tuna steaks with a tropical fruit marinade)!"Janet and Greta Podleski make low-f
--Stefanie Durbin. The recipes are well laid out, not time-consuming, aimed at the home cook with a family to feed, and will please the palate of those wanting gourmet fare without the fat. But to call these sisters cookbook authors may be a misnomer: they're more like a wacky comedy team touring Hoboken doing the low-fat-zealot routine for admiring audiences. No, Crazy Plates is not just about low-fat recipes. Then there are the recipes--accompanied, of course, by cartoons--like Salmon Davis Jr., broiled salmon steaks in a spicy tomato sauce; Mercedes Buns, cinnamo
