I LOVE this cookbook. I've only had it a couple days, and I've bookmarked a ton of recipes to try. I usually check out cooking books from the library because I don't like to keep a lot of books around the house, but this is one that you will want a copy of for your home library. I've tried three recipes so far, and they've all been super simple and delicious. I own the healthy crock pot version of this book as well, but I like the variety in this book much better. I also own Robin Miller's Quick Fix Meals...this book is better.

Hello...my name is Julie and I'm a cookbook addict. I absolutely adore cookbooks. I can spend hours looking through them. (That's not to say that I cook a lot of things out of them, but I do enjoy flipping through recipes.) Needless to say, when I saw that the Fix-It and Enjoy-It cookbook series had a new healthy cookbook out FIX-IT AND ENJOY-IT! HEALTHY COOKBOOK: 400 GREAT STOVE-TOP and OVEN RECIPES by Phyllis Pellman Good, I just knew I had to take a peek.

If you are interested in a terrific cookbook with lots of healthy recipes, then you should definitely take a look at this one. There are so many yummy-sounding recipes that I made a huge list of recipes to try. I have to mention that almost all (if not all) of the recipes are very quick and easy to prepare which is a must for me since I'm always running my kids around during dinnertime. Since the cookbook is full of healthy recipes, I was thrilled to see that almost all of the ingredients are natural and easy to find -- yet not out of a box or can. And I love that there is nutritional information for every recipe which makes it easy to calculate Weight Watcher points (when I'm so inclined.) I think the beauty of this cookbook is that the recipes are healthy without being difficult to make. It's a perfect combination for busy mothers everywhere.

We have been really busy lately so I haven't been trying a lot of new recipes the past few weeks, but I did want to try at least one before writing my review. I am a huge fan of baked oatmeal, and I thought it was pretty healthy. Well, the recipe my friend gave me has so much butter and cream in it that I would never knowingly eat it. This cookbook had a low-fat, healthy option for baked oatmeal that I decided to make for dinner one night when I was eating by myself (there is no way my husband and daughter would ever even try it.) I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by how flavorful the oatmeal was. I only wish I'd had a few blueberries to sprinkle over the top.

While I do really, really like this cookbook, I would be remiss if I didn't mention the one little drawback for me -- there aren't any pictures. Since I love to leaf through cookbooks, I always like seeing the colorful pictures and the finished products. Having said that, I still highly recommend FIX-IT and ENJOY-IT! HEALTHY COOKBOOK; just know that you will have to imagine how wonderful your dishes will look!

If you want to get more healthy bang for your buck at the supermarket and on the family table, look no further. This is a well-researched and well-rehearsed cookbook with healthy recipes that WORK. They are not loaded up with tons of obscure ingredients. In fact, everything is easily found in the most basic of supermarkets. These are real recipes by real people, adapted by experts to be healthful as well as delicious.
