I borrowed a copy of the King Arthur Flour Whole Grain Baking: Delicious Recipes Using Nutritious Whole Grains book and I loved it so much, I have renewed it three times. I found the Yeast Bread section extremely helpful in learning more about baking whole grain bread, and I successfully baked using their “Walnut Whole [...]

Julie & Julia
“No matter what happens in the kitchen, never apologize” (Julie Child) I just watched the “Julie & Julia” movie last night and loved it! The movie was light and bright and fun. I loved the parts about Julia Child’s life. So many fascinating aspects of her story. I am wanting to learn more. NO, I [...]
Cookbook Review: The Bread Bible by Rose Levy Beranbaum
I am sad because it’s time to return my copy of The Bread Bible (by Rose Levy Beranbaum) to the library tomorrow. Even though the book concentrates on white flour instead of whole wheat flour, I learned so much from reading the Bread Bible. The first 91 pages are full of so much good information [...]
Flat Belly Diet Book Review
I found the Flat Belly Diet! book at my local library. I was already aware of the book’s premise to consume more MUFAs (mono-unsaturated fatty acids) , but I was curious as to how they devised a whole diet concept around them. The first third of the book describes the diet plan and all the [...]
The Biggest Loser Simple Swaps – Book Review
When I first heard about the book, The Biggest Loser Simple Swaps: 100 Easy Changes to Start Living a Healthier Lifestyle, I assumed from the title, that it was mainly about food swaps. Use olive oil instead of butter, or instead of eating a fatty donut, try whole wheat toast. Similar to the “Eat This, [...]
Good Health Natural Naked Popcorn
I love popcorn, but don’t snack on it very often anymore because of the extra carbs. But I still regularly look at popcorn bags at the grocery store trying to find a low calorie snack. Most times, the calories are just too high. I mean 6-8 servings per bag!? I am afraid that we’d be [...]
Cooking Light Way to Cook Book Review
I found the Cooking Light Way to Cook: The Complete Visual Guide to Everyday Cooking at my local library. What a gorgeous book, loaded with incredible color photos just like in the Cooking Light magazine. While the book isn’t large sized (it is thick but not large) the step by step photos are not small. [...]
Yoga Journal’s Beginning Yoga Step By Step DVD Review
I found the #1 DVD from the Yoga Journal’s: Beginning Yoga Step by Step Session 1-3 at the library this week. I watched it last night. Yes, it’s a wonderful yoga DVD, but no, it is certainly NOT for beginners. I found it funny to read the positive reviews on Amazon, stating that it’s great [...]
Cuisinart Prep 11 Plus Food Processor Review
I was so happy that my mom gave me a Cuisinart Pro Classic 7-Cup Food Processor for Christmas. I was planning on purchasing one after the holidays myself, so it was a wonderful surprise. I wasn’t sure if the 7 cup would be large enough for everything I wanted though. Meatloaf, bread, cookies, salads, etc. [...]
Eat Clean Diet Book Review
I love the concept of eating clean! When you eat whole (clean) foods, you naturally lower your sugar, salt, and calorie intake. I started off slowly, and it’s now become a lifestyle. Something I hopefully can follow for the rest of my life. And isn’t that the point of a “non-diet” – something that you [...]
