Good and Easy Eats: A Wholesome Collection of Everyday Favorites by Kim Wilson
I could’ve done that!
As a health coach and blogger I was asked to read and review
Kim Wilson’s new e-cookbook, Good and Easy Eats: A Wholesome Collection
of Everyday Favorites. While reading this simple-to-use-and-understand
book I thought about how easy it would’ve been for me to put together such a
great cookbook.
Many of Kim’s recipes are things I make, or variations on a
theme; like fruit smoothies, rice and beans or black bean soup.
But she also includes recipes for things that I’ve never
made, yet are easy to do. So why have I not made things like nut butter or
coconut curry before?
She’s also challenged me to try new things, like sorghum
flour and millet in recipes such as banana muffins or pizza crust. And I can’t wait to try her garlic
sauce!
Kim has been eating a whole-foods diet for over 12 years,
and you all know how I love that. Whole-foods is where it’s at, baby! So as I
perused her book I was very excited to read her content. Her recipes are easy
for the lazy cook (or maybe it's nicer to say busy cook?) and have, for the most part, normal ingredients. There are
some things you’ll want to make a trip to the health food store for (like
sorghum flour), but she also uses everyday ingredients like canned tomatoes,
rice, nuts, and popcorn.
Kim covers every area of cooking for a week’s worth of
recipes. She includes breakfast, lunch, dinner, dressings, snacks, weekend fare and even
desserts!
Crave pizza? She’s got some great healthy ideas! Cookies? It’s
in there! Macaroni and “Cheese”, Mexican, Italian and even biscuits and gravy!
What?!
All of Kim’s recipes are dairy-, egg-, gluten-, wheat-, soy-
and yeast-free. Very allergy friendly! Yet there is no sacrifice in giving up chocolate
cake, whipped topping or pumpkin pie!
If you’ve been a regular reader of my blog, you know I think
a whole-foods diet is very important. Maybe you’ve resisted changing or just
don’t know how to begin with a lifestyle change. Good and Easy Eats would be a
great place to start so you can maintain your everyday cooking yet learn how to
incorporate healthier, economical alternatives.
Kim also teaches some cooking basics, tells you how to stock
a basic pantry, gives baking tips and leaves you with a sample menu. She also
provides links and information if you’re interested in juicing!
Kim is ready to launch her e-cookbook, Good and Easy Eats on
December 10. As a gift to my readers, Kim has agreed to allow me to give away a
free copy! How cool is that?
