4 x 4 Diet Review

I was excited to receive a copy of the 4 x 4 diet.  I am always on the lookout for healthy recipe ideas. This book was more of a diet book instead of a cookbook. It gave lots of tips on how to lose weight and there wasn't as many recipes or food suggestions as I had hoped for. The information contained in this book was informative although there was a lot of information that I already knew. Overall, if you are starting out losing weight this is a great reference for exercise and eating that will benefit you. If you are looking for more than that, this might not be the right pick for you. I received a copy of this book for free from Blogging for Books in exchange for my honest review.

was excited to get the Little Felted Dog book as I have two girls who loves doing crafts and they love dogs. There are ton's of different breeds in this book to choice from. The directions are spelled out clearly along with the supplies that you would need to make each project. I loved that there were pictures of all of the finished dogs and this looks like a book that would get a lot of use in my house. Overall I ws impressed and think this will be a great addition to our crafting books library. I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review from Blogging for Books.

I was very excited to review the I Quit Sugar Cookbook. I love eating healthy and finding new ways to do so for myself and my kids is something I enjoy. This cookbook is beautiful with colorful photographs and thick pages. Many of the recipes are savory, with a few sweet ones as well. There are tons of great recipes to choose from including, Bacon ’N’ Egg Quinoa Oatmeal, Gift-Wrapped Miso Cod, Caramelized Leek, Apple, and Rosemary Socca, Green Spaghetti and Meatballs, Broc Bites and Cauli Popcorn, Chocolate Peanut Butter Crackles and Strawberry Cheesecake Mug Cake. Sometimes while paging through a cookbook, there are only a handful of recipes that look like something you would actually make.. All of the recipes in this cookbook appealed to me and I can't wait to get started. I highly recommend this cookbook. It is chock full of great recipes, some are different but not so different that your husband and kids won't want to eat them. It makes a great addition to my cookbook library.  I received a copy of this cookbook for free from Blogging for Books in exchange for my honest review.

I received a copy of The Whole Coconut Cookbook for free in exchange for my honest review from Blogging for Books. I was excited to receive this cookbook as I love coconut. I was disappointed in it's size, it is very small and the limited number of recipes that it had. Pictures in this book were lacking. There is not a picture of each completed recipe to look at. I enjoy seeing what I am making before I make it.  The book is broken into six sections. Breakfast Dishes, Main Courses, Salads and Sides, Snacks, Drinks and Desserts. The recipes use hard to find and very expensive ingredients. Many of the recipes, like Millet, Kale and Miso-Tempeh Saute are not even ones that I would like to try. Overall there might be a few recipes that are worth trying in this cookbook, but I was disappointed that there wasn't more. If you love coconut and are looking for unusual ways to use it than this is the book for you. Get yours here: http://amzn.to/1QmxYIS
