Others Are Saying... I am very interested in using the recipes that you have listed on your website with photos. They will be helpful to one of my children who has learning disabilities. Penny, Platteville, WI I have tried various recipes with "healthy" foods, but they usually do require exotic ingredients which are usually gross! I look forward to trying your ideas. It will be nice to have "normal" foods with a healthy twist! Shannon Thank you for making healthful eating easy and delicious. Each cookbook not only has wonderful recipes, but are also nutritional information power houses. My husband says that after 16 years of marriage, now I'm making the really good tasting stuff!'
