Healthy snacks and lunches are in this cookbook. I enjoyed several of the recipes already. it is very focused on being low-fat. I do think that some of the calorie and nutrition counts are artificially low due to very small portion sizes, which is something to keep in mind if you are on a special diet. For example, a mini pizza on an English muffin is listed as two servings, which puts it at a little over 100 calories, but most people are going to eat both halves. It also has no photos, so that's a bummer. There is an entire chapter on kids snacks, which wasn't very useful to me, but might be fun if you have kids. The baking section did include some longer recipes, such as the focaccia bread, but most of the recipes are very simple with a reasonable ingredient list that you might already have at home or can easily pick up from the store. So far, I have tried the cottage cheese and dill dip, the carrot muffins, the caramel popcorn and enjoyed all of those.

Does every "everyday" cookbook have to be about losing weight, counting calories or generally feeling guilty about eating? A person could get a complex. Plus, the recipes were kinda mayo-intense for a low-glycemic-index kinda cookbook.
