I received the cookbook "Eat Shrink & Be Merry" for my birthday; and it's awesome !

It's written by the folks who wrote Looneyspoons & Crazy Plates(Janet and Greta Podleski). These were really popular books in Canada, but I'm not sure if they were as big a bestseller in the U.S.

The books focuses on low fat recipes; and has great tidbits of information on the margins of each page I made the squash soup the other day - and it was awesome !

I wanted to let everyone know about it; because I know I tend to get bored sometimes with what I cook that fits into the core plan; and I thought there were quite a few recipes in here that a core person could use.

I have Crazy Plates, which I think was their first book. I haven't looked at it in years and certainly not since I went on Core. I never made anything in it but maybe my tastes have changed. I'll have to check it out again. I keep saying that I'm going to go through all my old cookbooks for Core recipes and I keep forgetting. Thanks for the reminder and Happy Birthday.

My gf who is also doing Core has the Looneyspoons cookbook and LOVES IT - says it is mostly core friendly (if not with a tweak here or there!). Time to haul it out again Vickie!
