New Cook Book
Just wanted to share........this weekend I found an amazing new cook book.
"Hungry Girl 200 under 200", it's 200 Recipes each under 200 calories a serving 
There are 12 different cupcake recipes; 21 different breakfast recipes.......
well you get the idea! I can't wait to start cooking! Even the DS, said hey that stuff looks pretty darn good mom! (well now, praise from a teen...have to go for it!)

I actually have that book. While some people may scoff at some of the junky products she uses in her recipes, (and I'd have to agree with some of that) a lot of the recipes are quite do-able from time to time in my plan. I really like the chunky monkey smoothie (I'm not sure if that's the exact name of it lol but close enough.) What I do is take some of her ideas and then substitute other things for the really yucky processed stuff that I personally don't do lol!
Thanks for reminding me about it! Let us know if you try any good ones!

Ah that sounds pretty amazing! Though I doubt it's available over here - a question though, if I ordered it online (if that's possible) are a lot of the ingredients stuff that is possibly only available in the US?

Heading over to Amazon right now to look for this! Right now I am just trying to get used to eating 1200 calories a day. Once I get used to it, I will eliminate a lot of "junk."

Jenny, that's just wrong unless you made enough for the whole thread..LOL!! 
I am going to gather up a shopping list and probably do what Julia does, and substitute, but definitely going to be cooking up a storm this wkend!
Rainbowstripe, I don't know about that, good question, but you can always look at it since you know what is in your market. I noticed she uses a lot of Fiber One cereal, sugar substitute and "Vita" products (muffin tops/brownies, etc) which I found on line and ordered myself some.

If it didn't happen then that would mean they are calorie-free.

Ok, I'm about to cave and order it off Amazon, but I'm just wondering if there are pictures in the cookbook? I really love cookbooks with pictures...

@ rainbowstripe: There are a few inserts with pictures on them in the book, but ALL of the pictures (minus the recipes) can be found on this page: http://book.hungry-girl.com/books/2

Thanks Julia! I'm still undecided as I read she uses a lot of artificial sweeteners and other ingredients I think I'm unlikely to find in New Zealand - and using substitutes would alter the calorie counts.
I did however find another good looking recipe book while I was on Amazon, this Betty Crocker one of main dishes 300cal or less:
http://www.amazon.com/Betty-Crocker-...pr_product_top
The reviews make it seem more like my style.. simple and easy cooking with fresh ingredients.
