SECRETS OF A SKINNY CHEF COOKBOOK

Secrets of a Skinny Chef by Jennifer Iserloh is my all time favorite cookbook because it offers healthy recipes for some of my favorite dishes and others I can’t wait to try. I’m not one to try “gourmet” type recipes – this cookbook is one that the average cook will find enjoyable to receive. There are many healthy cooking tips throughout the cookbook, too. Jennifer will teach mom how to cook the food she craves without the hard struggle of dieting and deprivation – knowing how to substitute healthier ingredients is all it takes. I’m using Secrets of a Skinny Chef while dieting and it’s making weightloss fun! Available at bookstores and her website which has lots of tips.

POURfect MEASURING CUPS, BOWLS, SPOONS and more

Do you have a Mother or Grandmother who enjoys cooking but has difficulty using measuring spoons, cups, or bowls because of arthritis or poor eyesight? POURfect has what she needs. The POURfect product line is extremely ergonomic and light-weight making it easier for people with arthritis and carpal tunnel to grip them and the POURfect measuring cups and spoons feature enlarged measurements in English, Metric and Braille for cooking enthusiasts requiring assisted living products. The curved edges help prevent spills, too. Plus all POURfect Products are dishwasher and microwave safe and made in the USA! I like using mine with my granddaughters. They’re great for cooking with children because the handles are wider making them easier to use for small hands. Check out their website to see the many colors and products.
