4☆ Healthy and wholesome Recipes, offering a variety of options to suit all!

Eat Happy Too is a delicious Recipe Book that combines Healthy and wholesome food, offering a variety of options to suit all.

The book is based alongside the recipes that adhere to this philosophy NSNG (No Sugars No Grains) which i am not at all familiar with. But most importantly it's not a diet book!

All the recipies are American Measurements, that use Cups to weigh out ingredients. I do have cup measures but don't find ...more

Over the years my eating habits have changed quite a bit. Growing up eating hearty loaves of bread with sandwich meats and cheese, and the good old kind of cooking with gravies, potatoes and creamed veggies with deserts on top of that, or trips to the bakery isn’t what I do anymore today. Certainly, on occasion, I will still do those traditional meals, especially for others, but I always modify or substitute my portions of the meal. I just can’t eat the way I used to anymore. Why? Because I can Over the years my eating habits have changed quite a bit. Growing up eating hearty loaves of bread with sandwich meats and cheese, and the good old kind of cooking with gravies, potatoes and creamed veggies with deserts on top of that, or trips to the bakery isn’t what I do anymore today. Certainly, on occasion, I will still do those traditional meals, especially for others, but I always modify or substitute my portions of the meal. I just can’t eat the way I used to anymore. Why? Because I can put on weight by looking at food across the table, thanks to hypothyroidism and some other issues.

It took me a long time to come up with what works for me. When I saw the opportunity to review EAT HAPPY TOO, I knew immediately that this is lining up with what I have been piecing together over the years in a sense. I am so pleased to say, that this book has hit the nail on the head for me. It is exactly how I cook and eat but adds a variety of ideas to my repertoire with amazing new recipes to try.
This is not a diet book. It gives you recipes that are grain-free, gluten-free, low carb and free of processed sugars. You might wonder, why someone would want to eat that way and I can only speak for myself or on behalf of family members with diet restrictions due to (chronic) illness. Sometimes, life involuntarily requires you to change. So, if you are looking for all four of the above dietary changes, or just want low carb and not grain-free, there is plenty of room to substitute and adjust in the recipes of EAT HAPPY TOO.

The book is organized by content in the following segments: food quality, starters, main dishes, soups & slow cook/casseroles, sides, sweets, breakfast, sauces & dressings, and drinks. Many of the recipes show pictures and the instructions are easy to follow. The entire collection of recipes looks fabulous and I have made the Baked Cauliflower Gnocchi, used the Carne Asada Dry Rub, made the salmon burgers (so good!) and tried the Thousand Island dressing. Next, I want to try the Pumpkin bars and the Apple Pie with crumble and Vocino’s recipe for the Paleo Banana pancakes.

Out of 160 possible choices to make something delicious, I will be able to use this book a lot. Though I have cookbooks, this one is spot on. From what I can tell, everything is easy to make. There isn’t a lot of fuss, just straight up simply good foods. Depending on your philosophy, it would be easy to alter recipes or add on to them, but this book offers the best possible base and ideas.

I don’t love cooking, I’m honest (I used to). I have cookbooks too and I pick out here and there and most of it I just make, no recipe needed. EAT HAPPY TOO is my kind of book. Most everything can be done rather quickly and the ingredients aren’t so exotic that you can’t find them anywhere or have to hunt them down. It’s great for quick lunch options, tasty and (bonus!) healthy.

I am glad to have this at hand.

I received a digital copy of this title in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

This book was received from the Author/Publisher, in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Eat Happy Too is the second cookbook by Anna Vocino. I was so happy to receive a copy for review since this cookbook speaks to my lifestyle being diabetic.

The first thing that really stood out to me was that in the welcome section Anna kept specifying that this is not a diet. I really liked that since what I am looking for is real food and not low carb diet food. Yes, trust me ...more

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 d ...more

A brilliant cookbook. Although I haven't had a chance to check out her first cookbook, I'm genuinely impressed with Vocino's recipes. They're easy to follow, delicious, and healthy. As someone who has had to cut down on their gluten for medical reasons, it was refreshing to find such a great collection of recipes. ...more

This is a must. ESPECIALLY if you’re someone cutting grains/carbs out of your diet. Although, it’s great food regardless. No recipe feels like “diet” food. It’s just GOOD food.

Recipes are super easy but so much flavor! I love hosting people for dinner and few people eat the same way as I do (no sugar, no grains). One of my favorite things is my friends that eat a normal diet LOVE whatever I cook! it’s very transferable.

It’s great for everyone but especially those working to make a dietary chan ...more

Time to Cook!

This is the second cookbook from voice-over artist cum stand up comedienne cum podcast host Anna Vocino, a woman of many, many employable talents.

I first became acquainted with Anna’s food about five years ago after listening to Vinnie Tortorich’s Fitness Confidential podcast on which Anna is co-host. I instantly fell in love with her food-based blog and started making her recipes. The first one I made was her Slow Cooker Short Ribs and I was hooked from there.

Anna’s food is approac ...more

First book is much better. This has lots of recipes that might be great but are a little too gourmet or have obscure ingredients. I have kids. That’s not gonna work and be way too expensive
