Healthy Mexcian Food that tastes GOOD!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Healthy Mexican Cooking: Authentic Low Fat Recipes (Paperback)
Velda De La Garza does it all in this cookbook of Mexcian Favorites, that are healhy and low-fat, PLUS, good tasting!!! I love Mexican Food and New Mexican Food, and have been eating it all my life, but as I've grown older I've had to limit my intake of Mexican Foods because of all the fat content it can have. This book is the answer to all that. I can now eat all the Mexican food i enjoy, and not have to worry about all the fat I'm consuming. I haven't gained weight in month's either. Lean and mean in Albuquerque.

This review is from: Healthy Mexican Cooking: Authentic Low Fat Recipes (Paperback)
this was a great Christmas gift from my wife. We made Albondiga soup and it was delicous. I grew up eating authentic Mexican food at home, and this book has helped me eat healthier and be wiser about my food choices. This will definitely help my family avoid falling into the Diabetes trap by making better choices. This was a great help.

I didn't know such delicious recipes could be so nutritious! I am not Mexican, but I love Mexican food and I love this book! The special section for diabetics and on how to read Nutritional labels is also very helpful. A+!
