The Bite Me Balance Cookbook : Wholesome Daily Eats & Delectable Occasional Treats
by Julie Albert
Want to save your sanity and do up your pants at the same time? Bite Me Balance has 150 easy, healthy recipes that look after your waistline and taste GREAT. Moderation may be the granny panties of the food world, but it works With Bite Me Balance as your guide, fill your fridge with quality ingredients found in your local grocery store, and create delicious, wholesome meals that will have you loving every bite. After years (and years ) of trying and abandoning every solution in the dieting playbook, sisters Julie and Lisa gave up. They were dying to be free of their own fork-in-hand procrastination, and exhausted from chasing that one mythical magic bullet that might finally work. As soon as they gave up the all-or-nothing approach, of course, they found the solution: exit fad diets; enter self-acceptance, a more mindful approach to eating, and healthy recipes that actually taste GREAT. In Bite Me Balance they share 150 delicious recipes for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, and special gatherings (with plenty of gluten-free and vegetarian and vegan options throughout). There are recipes that are high in fiber (Moroccan Couscous with Chickpeas and Harissa), protein-packed (Protein-Packed Asian Chopped Salad), full of vitamins (Spice-Rubbed Grilled Salmon with Avocado Dressing), and sometimes decadently indulgent (Confetti Sugar Cookies). Because when it comes down to it, it's all about the balance. With their laugh out loud sister-act commentary, and top 10 lists to inspire you (like their go-to healthy-ish alternatives to comfort food faves), you'll happily have these sisters in the kitchen every day In a nutshell: Bite Me Balance is an approachable, fun and funny cookbook makes healthy eating a fool-proof and achievable option for all.
