About the Author

Janie Samuels spent most of her life overweight.  After trying (what seemed like) every diet out there only to find herself losing and gaining her way through her 20s and early 30s, she finally got it right at 35. Now 40, she has easily maintained her 40 pound weight loss for the past 5 years just by making a few simple dietary changes.

Her books, Quick and Light: Healthy Recipes You'll Fall in Love With and 100-Calorie Sweets: Amazing Recipes for Guilt-Free Desserts were written for those of us who would like to lose the extra weight without having to endure flavorless "diet food".  Her hope is that the readers of her cookbooks will take away a simple, but important lesson:  With a few great recipes, you can lose weight (and keep it off) without giving up the foods you love to eat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yummy, Healthy & Quick!!! August 23, 2012

This is a great recipe book! All the recipes are so extremely quick to make! The last thing that I want to do is come home after working all day & stand in the kitchen all evening. This book is packed with quick recipes & they have been converted to a healthy status. I found a few of my favorites that I had quit making because they really were not healthy. Now I can enjoy them guilt free! A few of my favorites; Parmesan Cauliflower, Caramelized Carrots with Rosemary, Smoky Mashed Sweet Potatoes... OMG!!!! The Pecan-Crusted Chicken & Blue Cheese Chicken Rollups are just wonderful!! I really can't wait to try all the recipes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Made Me Hungry August 16, 2012

I really liked this recipe book. I'm already planning the Roasted Tilapia with Feta and Tomatoes for tomorrow night. It just sounded so yummy. Then of course there is the Sweet and Sour Shrimp, or the Warm Cinnamon Apples, or the Smokey Mashed Sweet Potatoes, yummmmmmmm. The recipes are all easy to put together and are not time consuming. I want to come home from work, throw something together in less than 10 mins to pop in the oven etc and then have 20-30 mins to enjoy a glass of wine. These recipes will allow me to do just that! Wooo Hoooo! And they are healthy too. It is a win-win situation for me.
