Eating For Life Review
This is a review of the cookbook Eating For Life by Bill Phillips.
I purchased this book after reading Body For Life also by Bill Phillips.
One of the main reasons I bought this book was that for each recipe it gives you pictures of that actual things you need to buy from the grocery store.
The recipe part of the book is broken down into 6 main parts:
- Dinners
- Desserts
- Breakfasts
- Lunches
- Midmeals
- Nutrition Shakes
There is a good introduction which is fairly brief explaining how to eat healthy and breaking down some myths about food.
I must say that I like this book a lot more than many of the other cookbooks that I have because it’s broken down into section based on what type of meal you want to make, quick and easy instructions, and a good variety of meals.
I even recommended this book to my parents and they went out and bought it, so that should tell you something. Although my parents don’t use it as much as I would like them too!
One thing that I’m not crazy about in this book is the different kinds of protein shake recipes. I find that you really have to make them a few times each and experiment with different types of ingredients and also how long you blend it for to make it the right consistency and taste.
Other than that, this cookbook is easy to use, the food tastes good, and it’s healthy. I would definitely recommend getting this book.
Some of my favorite recipes in the book that I make a lot are:
The meatballs from the spaghetti and meatballs recipe, I have used turkey and also buffalo meat. I like to add two tablespoons of olive oil to the recipe so they don’t dry out too much.
Albacore Tuna Casserole – My girlfriend doesn’t like this one, so I have to make it when she’s not around.
Sloppy Joes
Chicken Tenders
Baked French Fries – the Colorado Buffalo Burger recipe has a side dish of seasoned baked fries made with white potatoes. I make them with sweet potatoes and they are awesome!
