Reddit reviews The Skinnytaste Cookbook: Light on Calories, Big on Flavor

• The Skinnytaste Cookbook
  
• A new laptop charger because mine is falling apart
  
• A foam roller
  
• Gift cards (American Eagle, Target, Amazon, Express)
  
• Quest Bars

This is wonderful, I was thinking about making a post about finding new recipes.

• I will pretty much cook whatever looks good as I browse recipes at work. I mostly cooking Italian and Japanese (but I'm trying to expand my horizons)
  
  
• Watching Gordon Ramsay videos inspired me to improve my cooking. Before I cooked and I was pretty ok but now I'm actively trying to improve with every new dish.
  
  
• Based on frequency of use I would say the Skinnytaste Cookbook, but I recently flipped through Savuer: The New Classics and I found so many recipes I want to try.
  
  
• What I really want to try different regional cuisines. Pinterest can get really same-y and boring when you browse the food & drink section, and even if you search for certain types of cuisines the selection is always more "simple", Americanized, or modified for a slowcooker. While I love cookbooks I can't afford to go out and buy every "traditional [blank] meals" book that looks good.
  
  
• I'm very interested learning more about Mexican, Indian, Irish and French.
  
  
• One of the few things that stops me from certain recipes is getting the materials. Small towns are a bit limited and I'm still on the hunt for a source of lamb chops.
  
  
• The one outlet of food I'm hesitant to explore is seafood. There are some types of fish I'll eat, but it's limited.
  

The [Skinnytaste cookbook] (http://www.amazon.com/Skinnytaste-Cookbook-Light-Calories-Flavor/dp/0385345623/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1418503118&sr=8-1&keywords=skinnytaste) just came out. I don't own it yet but the author is a blogger and all the food from her blog is amazing and healthy -- great for someone trying to lose weight, even if she has other people who share meals with her.

That might be...accurate. Regardless of the cause, you can tell him that you love special surprises but from now on they can't be food. You might also want to pick out a nice new cookbook together so that you can cook healthier food — this one is very popular.
