Create a Good-for-you Kitchen and Lifestyle

Be honest with yourself: aren’t you over all the excuses? What have they done for you, besides keep you from achieving your goals and creating a better life for yourself? By picking up this book, you’ve already taken the first step to end the excuses. Congratulations! You are now officially on the path towards your goals and a healthier life.

I can assure you that every single recipe in this book will help you on your road to a leaner lifestyle. How do I know this? I’ve tested and retested every recipe for accuracy in the Skinnytaste test kitchen, which has a staff of just two, my aunt and me. My aunt is a baker, so she’s accustomed to following a recipe precisely as written. She catches any blunders and she doesn’t overlook small details, so we make the perfect team. (Plus, she lives only minutes away from me.) As you can imagine, testing recipes for a book while also creating new recipes for my blog every day left me with A LOT of extra food at the end of the day. Each afternoon, my aunt and I had a Skinnytaste lunch together, and I would send her home with more food to eat for dinner each night. All this food, and yet there was not a single pound gained. In fact, as the months passed, my aunt dropped over 2 stone and went from a size 14 to a size 6. At first, she thought there might be something wrong, so she went to her doctor to get a full checkup. The good news: her doctor said she was in the best shape of her life, her cholesterol was great, and she had more energy than ever. Her doctor asked her secret, and she happily told him to visit skinnytaste.com. I can’t even tell you how great it makes me feel that she is another Skinnytaste success story!

The pages that follow will hopefully make you one, too. I will show you that cooking – even cooking healthy, nutritious food – is quick, easy, and even FUN. It’s time to get back into the kitchen, where you can start improving and refining your healthy cooking skills while you simultaneously make your way back into your skinny jeans. And guess what? It’s not as hard as you think. Here’s how to whittle your waist without skimping on taste, Skinnytaste style.
