She has a wealth of information and comes from a place of knowing exactly what it's like to have been overweight herself and what it takes to overcome food addictions and be joyous with eating.

Healthy, delicious, satisfying lifestyle, August 2, 2007
If you have seen this book in a health food store, you may have dismissed it as something that would have you buying wierd and expensive foods and would involve cooking things only health food nuts would want. However, this book dispels all my misconceptions about healthy eating:
Misconception #1-If I cook healthy, my family won't like it. When I cooked for my meat and potatoes family from this book, they loved it and there were no leftovers. I will say that my teenaged boy did eat a lot, so I would probably double the recipes for my family.
Misconception #2-Healthy eating is low-fat or no-fat. This way of eating includes using more "fat" in cooking, but the fat comes from healthy oils most of which I had not used before. I am enjoying using these healthier fats, some of which add a delicious taste and great satisfaction and satiety to my eating experience.
Misconception #3-If I cook from a book like this, I'm going to have to start shopping in health food stores and doubling my grocery bill. I started cooking from this book after one trip to my grocery store. So far, I have only gone to a health-food store for one item from my regular grocery store. The cost is more than off-set by purchasing fewer unhealthy processed foods. I will probably have to get a few more special items overtime and restock them periodically, but many grocery stores have most items mentioned here. I am finding some items are much more economically available online.
Misconception #4-If I eat this kind of food, though the food will be good for me, I will feel deprived and unsatisfied when others around me are eating "real" food. Guess what--this is the "real" food. I feel more than satisfied after eating these foods and don't feel tempted by office snacks--even fresh, still warm donuts, chips or home-baked sweets.
When you start feeding your body healthy foods, you will feel satisfied, energetic, and you will want to learn and apply more of the helpful information from this book. As far as weight loss, after 6 weeks, I have lost about 4 pounds; this is a lifestyle change, not a crash diet. Let me tell you about a typical day. Breakfast 1 piece of Ezekial French Toast and a half recipe of Dee's Mighty Breakfast (both recipe in book). For lunch, either leftovers, or perhaps some soup from one of the recipes in the book and a piece of fruit. For a snack I sometimes have a muffin using the recipe in the book minus the honey. For dinner I have a balanced meal, something healthy like one of the dishes in the book. Many days I often have a chocolate treat from the recipe in the book. Based on my level of well-being and satisfaction with the food, I highly recommend this way of cooking and living. You are in for a treat if you order and use this book!

Get off the diet rollercoaster!, March 3, 2006
Dee's Mighty Cookbook is a common sense guide to improving your health through better eating habits, using foods that do not contain hormones, pesticides and other additives and in the process bringing your weight to a healthy level and keeping it there. Dee herself has maintained a 100 pound weight loss for over 13 years.
Don't let the flourless, sugarless label scare you off. Dee's book encourages 100% whole grain flours, not the bleached nutritionally devoid stuff that is used in most of our baked goods. By sugarless she means using only natural sugars that still contain all the vitamins and minerals necessary to digest them properly. I have tried many of the recipes and have not found a single one that I disliked. Her recipe for McCaffrey's Yummy Irish Stew was excellent as well as the Vanilla Yogurt, Ezekiel French Toast, Dee's Mighty Muffins and her Mighty Herb Vinaigrette.
I recommend Dee's Mighty Cookbook to anyone interested in finally getting off the rollercoaster diet cycle and eating for optimal health.
