C'Mon America, Let's Eat!: Susan's Favorite Low-Fat Recipes to Fit Your Lifestyle

I just purchased my second copy of this book. I lent it to a friend and now I can't get it back!! The recipes in this book are delicious, easy, and will appeal to the entire family. This is the type of cookbook that you can actually use every day--not just for one or two recipes. Also, Susan teaches you how to cut out a lot of fat from your own recipes. I now use fat free chicken broth all the time. A definite must have for anyone who is watching their weight or who wants to cut out fat without cutting out flavor.

What can I say. I am not a very good cook. In fact I burn water. When I tried this cookbook I found not only were the recipes easy to follow, but they resulting meal did look like the picture. It's the only cookbook I use now and I have lost weight using it (I don't exercise either). One of the best recipies is the creamy cauliflower - but if you don't like cauliflower I use broccoli, corn, carrot, green beans or all mixed and it is the best and only way I will eat my vegges from now on. If you like rice and kidney beans my favourite recipe is Mexican Rice cassarole - to die for. Best part about this is I can cook and no longer burn water.

I recently started on SP Give Me Five program and wanted to find more information on whole foods. I went to the library and checked out this book. WOW! doesn't do it justise. I read the entire book on an 8 hour drive and was totally amazed at all the extremly Lo-Fat meals. Things even my children would even eat. I can't wait to buy this book for myself and through out all the high fat, dust collecting, cookbooks in my cabinets. I have been eating low fat for two weeks and walking almost every night and I already FEEL I MEAN REALY, FEEL BETTER. I can even get my jean shorts on. It's not just another diet, it's not just another fad, It's real healthy whole food eating that works at making you feel better inside to out. Thank you Susan for getting the information out there for us. I LOVE this book!

No skimping, starving, or tasteless food in this book. It's packed with healthy, great tasting recipes that will truly make you forget you're eating low fat -- until you step on the scale and see it go down, down, down. Eat lasagna and cheesecake for dinner, snack on cookies, have some waffles for breakfast, maybe a big hearty sandwich for lunch. Believe me, NOTHING compares to these foods. The book has been a Godsend. If you want to lose weight, gain strength, and feel healthy, GET THIS BOOK.

I love these recipes. Although my sister claims that she hated the veggie lasagna, I thought it was a slice of heaven. I've turned my house upside down looking for my copy... and I think my sister has it but doesn't want to admit that she likes this "healthy" stuff! Powter's recipes have been tried on many "real" people who expected "real" (eg greasy) food. If they didn't like it, she modified the recipe until they did. There's a great-tasting recipe for a chocolate raspberry smoothie (fat free... with REAL raspberries!). Great for the summer... or anytime! This is American fare at its best, and spiral bound so that it rests open to the page you want. I would have given it a 10, except for my sister's reaction to that wonderful lasagna!
