As much as I wanted to like this book, I wasn't too impressed. I decided not to try any recipes because most of the ingredients are "low fat", "substitute of eggs". It seemed to me like every recipe in this book is made using processed food. I am adamant on using real food in more reasonable quantities. Making sweets out of substitutes is, in my opinion, just a band-aid solutioN. Sure, I'll lose the weight but that will be by ingesting artificial products and engineered produ...more
This was actually a great cookbook!! I loved the 4 ingredient section, the tin foil section, and the desert section (the canoli's are super easy!!!) I also liked that you can go to the website to see a picture of each recipe (I need pictures to decide if I want to make it) and get the WW points for each recipe. In the book, they have all of the nutritional information, but I am to lazy to calculate the points on my own!
This was cute for a cookbook. I would have liked it better if the color photos were on the same page as the recipes. I don't think I'll be making much from this since a lot of the dishes that I lke I've already remade healthy on my own. I do think it is great for people who are trying to eat healthy and want to get more creative. I'm a fan of hungry girl and I think she is great!
I tagged seven recipes from this book that I am intrested in. Many of the recipes are for things that need to be prepared the night you are eating them. I like to cook ahaead to save precious evening time for homework, Glee, and American Idol. I will definately be scanning these before I return this book to the library. Thanks Hungry Girl.
I first heard about Hungry Girl in a weight loss workshop through the local hospital. I found this book by accident in the library and it's pretty interesting. Lots of good, lo-cal ideas, and wow, a cookbook that actually has recipes for one-person meals! I like to "test run" new cookbooks at the library first and this one did not disappoint.
I tend to be on the pickier side of life, so there wasn't many recipes in here that I was interested in. There was a nice sized section on crock-pot recipes and a couple of those piqued my interest. A lot of the recipes made 1-2 servings and for this hungry-girl-mother-of-3, that just isn't enough.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this cookbook!!! Easy recipes and they all have the calories and weight watchers points noted too. Its nice to have recipes that are made from ingredients we all buy instead of going to the store with a list for a new recipe looking for things we don't usually buy.
I didn't actually try any recipes from this cookbook ( I took it out of the library) but I have a hard time using a cookbook that calls for altered foods....egg substitutes, tofu noodles, fat-free mayo, etc. I would prefer using the real thing, and using moderation.
This recipe book has a lot of good ideas/recipes. It reminded me of some things I used to cook and haven't had for awhile. This book would be a good book to have when you are wondering what to have for dinner. It would be smart to look through the book before going shopping, so you could have all the ingredients.
I have this one on my nook, too. I've looked through the recipes and they're pretty reasonable. Most sound delicious. Again, I'm picky so I add and subtract ingredients to make it more for my tastes. Not too bad!
Great cookbook - the slow cooker chapter especially. Really loved the slow-cookin' mexican chicken and ez 1-2-3 turkey chili. Yum!
not my usual book to read. but it was on the nook. no recipes I would ever use.

Love this cook book! Great low calorie recipes for all types of tastes!
This book has a lot of great, healthy recipes. Tons of variety.
I love all the recipes I have tried so far :-)
I loved it I just wish it had pictures....
Lots of good stuff in here!
Great cook book!!!
Lots of great recipes and food ideas. I love that they are soo simple (lots of microwave in a mug meals)! She also has lots of vegetarian items and even includes great options for desserts.
I'm just hungry.

More low-cal recipes if you're looking to cook for 1 or 2. I enjoy making Ms. Lillien's recipes, though sometimes it's tricky to find the substitutions she suggests, such as the egg substitute, etc. As a result, it's not something I use every day, and I won't be trying every single recipe if it seems a little TOO altered.
A little bit of everything for everyone. However, there are very few pictures and the pictures that are there are in a couple of very small clumps towards the end of the book.
I did get a couple of neat recipes -- one for fish and another for banana boats -- both cooked in foil in the oven.

Another great cookbook from Hungry Girl Lisa Lillien. Am definitely more impressed with the recipes in this cookbook than in her last one "Hungry Girl: 200 under 200". Can't wait to try out some new recipes!

Borrow again from the library.
Fantastic simple recipes, with as few calories as you can get without it tasting terrible. A must for anyone counting how many calories, fats, carbs, whatever, they consume.
I don't like these because ingredients are fat free this and fake that; use artificial sweeteners, etc.
