My Review of Eat Happy Too

Anna Vocino brings us some delicious recipes in her newest book Eat Healthy Too. These no sugar, no grain (NSNG) foods offer foodies plenty of healthy options.

I read through this cookbook, and I found some of my very favorite comfort foods broken down into healthy alternatives. The Salmon Burgers, for instance, reminds me of grandma’s down-home salmon patties. That is one recipe that I will be trying out.

I admit that I found most of my favorites in the Starters section. There is a chipped beef dip that is like one that I have been making for years but without the processed foods.

One of my favorite foods is the mighty mushroom, and Vocino offers many recipes to tempt my tastebuds. The Mushroom and Walnut Pate is going to be on my list to make for an upcoming birthday party. I think it will go great with the pita chips she also has in the starters section.

I award this cookbook 5 out of 5 stars. The recipes are perfect for those who are gluten-free, sugar-free, and low carb. As I live with Type 2 Diabetes, a lot of these recipes are perfect for me.

I would like to thank Anna Vocino and Shannon of R&R Book Tours for providing me a copy of Eat Happy Too in exchange for an honest review.
