And now, my review:

There are so many great recipes to be had in this new book out by Jessica DeMay called Clean Paleo Comfort Food Cookbook.  I feel like the layout of the book is wonderful, with all the full-color images of her wonderful dishes.  It causes quite the mouth-watering responses.  I have enjoyed for years her recipes that she has shared personally and on-line that I was super excited to see a book coming out by her.  It did not disappoint.  From how to make mayo and ketchup to main meals, soups, and desserts. You’re going to want to get your hands on this one.  I highly recommend it.  

I received a copy of this book from the author/publisher and I’m giving my honest review of that I thought.

Fodmap Friendly by Georgia McDermott

 

Here is the book summary:

This is the low-FODMAP cookbook vegetarians have been waiting for.

It’s tough when the foods you love don’t love you back. If you’re dealing with digestive issues, cutting out high-FODMAP foods can bring relief—but it’s hard to say goodbye to wheat, dairy, and many fruits and veggies. And if you’re vegetarian or vegan and going low-FODMAP? It can be even harder to fill your plate!

Georgia McDermott comes to the rescue in FODMAP Friendly, with 95 vegetarian, vegan-friendly, and gluten-free recipes for the digestively challenged. Her delicious, low- to no-FODMAP fare covers all the bases:

·       Lighter meals and breakfasts, like Grain-Free Olive Oil Granola and Roasted Pepper and Halloumi Shakshuka

·       Hearty dinners, from Tempeh Chili to Pepper, Pesto, and Goat Cheese Galette

·       Delectable desserts—Pavlova with Roasted Lemony Strawberries, anyone?

·       Festive food and drinks for a crowd, including Salted Honey and Sage Baked Camembert and Passion Fruit Caipirinhas

FODMAP sensitivity varies from person to person, so Georgia includes a wealth of suggestions for exploring what does and doesn’t work for you. Onion and garlic don’t bother you? Add them! The thought of tomatoes turns you off? Don’t eat them! Living with IBS, Crohn’s disease, colitis, SIBO—you name it—shouldn’t mean needlessly missing out on the flavors you crave. This is low-FODMAP eating—made friendly for everyone.

And now, my review:

Can I just say Yummy?!?!  I found Fodmap Friendly by Georgia McDermott to be full of colorful, delicious looking food finds that just got me salivating right there on the spot.  This author educates as well as offers some practical combinations for those looking to be careful in the area of fodmaps.  This is an area that I am looking at to determine some issues that have reared themselves.  That’s what I was looking for and that’s what I found in this resource.

Cauliflower Power by Lindsay Grimes Freedman

Here is the book summary:

Low in carbs, fats, and sugars, and naturally packed with vitamin C, cauliflower is the super-est of all superfoods. Why cauliflower? It’s a chameleon and can take on any flavor and texture. In her first cookbook, food blogger and recipe developer Lindsay Grimes Freedman brings her expertise in creating delicious, healthful, and practical recipes to one of the food world’s most trending topics: cauliflower. With more than 75 recipes built around the five ways to prep cauliflower (as a whole head, florets, steaks, riced, and meal), Freedman transforms this versatile veggie into smoothies and scones, pizza crusts and pasta sauces, and sides and salads. Super swaps include falafel made with cauliflower and Caesar salad made with a cauliflower-based dressing, even cauliflower nachos, “bacon” bits, tots, and French toast. The recipes are healthful and easily adaptable for any diet without skimping on flavor or satisfaction. By harnessing the power of this anti-inflammatory veggie, readers will reap all the benefits of a plant-based diet without missing out on any of the good stuff.

And now, my review:

Lindsay Grimes Freedman writes up some pretty nice recipes in Cauliflower Power.  From every meal time, including deserts, to all sorts of creative ideas like making slices into cauliflower steak.  We can’t knock it until we try it.  So, for all those who are looking for ways to change it up and insert cauliflower into their cooking, this book brings loads of inspiration.

Low Carb On The Go by Sandra and Mirco Stupning

And now, my review:

Low Carb On The Go is not a book about not eating carbs but about eating healthy carbs and finding exchanges for the not so healthy carbs.  Their drinks look delicious in the full-color pictures the book provides.  My favorite recipe is what the authors call “Oopsies” which is a protein bun made out of eggs and cream cheese and it is a heavenly yum for your avocado and tomato sandwich.  They’ve included different types of bread, breakfast ideas, salads, soups, and desserts.  My favorite part is the full-color pictures which I think makes a cookbook a great cookbook.  And I’m looking forward to planning my menu for the week with these great ideas.

150 Gluten-Free Family Favorites by Tami Dillon and Bonnie Root

Here is the book summary:

Get Rid of the Gluten, Not the Good Taste

Are you one of the roughly three million people in the US who struggles with celiac disease? Do you have an intolerance or sensitivity to gluten? Whatever your reason for incorporating gluten-free foods into your daily diet, this one-of-a-kind cookbook adapts all your family favorite recipes into incredibly delicious gluten-free family favorites.

Ditch the gluten, but none of the foods you love, with these mouthwatering recipes:

·        Little Smoky BBQ Bacon Bites

·        Sinfully Cinnamon Cinnamon Rolls

·        Blissful Buttermilk Biscuits

·        Cilantro-Lime Shredded Chicken Tacos

·        Chocolate Chip Cheesecake

...and so much more!

Yes, you can still enjoy all your favorite foods and live a successful gluten-free life!

And now, my review:

My thanks to Tami and her Mom, Bonnie.  I love that Harvest House has put a book out that touches my heart and my tummy in a great way.   I’ve been strictly gluten-free since 2012 and it’s always great to mix up the recipes a bit and be inspired by looking through a book about it.  That is why I picked up this book.  This is definitely for beginners on the gluten-free journey, which at the beginning can feel overwhelming. But this book not only shares some great recipes but it also adds Scripture as well.  Breakfast, bread, main dishes, and desserts all made so gluten-free people can eat it.  The personalities of both authors are such a delight to read from.  My favorite recipes are Lemon Butter Shrimp and Asparagus, Dill Pickle Veggie Dip, and Butterfinger Carmel Cheesecake.

The Gluten-Free Instant Pot Cookbook by Jane Bonacci and Sara De Leeuw

Here is the book summary:

The Instant Pot and other electric pressure cookers provide a perfect way to cook gluten-free meals with a maximum of speed, convenience, nutrition, and flavor.

For the millions of people who, by doctor's orders or by choice, must exclude or limit gluten in their diets, finding Instant Pot recipes has been a huge challenge. This timely book solves the problem. Its recipes focus on dishes that are the most problematic for gluten-sensitive cooks, such as main-course dinners that typically have a grain component, as well as breakfasts and desserts, which also usually have wheat or gluten. In their place, The Gluten-Free Instant Pot Cookbook offers up tasty and creative gluten-free alternatives that cook up fast and delectably in the pressure cooker. Everyone in the household will love these dishes, even those who are not eating gluten-free.

From hearty breakfast dishes like Creamy Poblano Frittata or Caribbean Breakfast Burritos, through substantial and warming soups like a Creamy and Spicy Butternut Squash Soup or a Pumpkin Black Bean Chili, and crowd-pleasing dinner dishes like Mom's Old-Fashioned Pot Roast, Gluten-Free Lasagna with Meat Sauce, and Pork Tenderloin Marsala with Wheat-Free Pasta, these are spectacular recipes that cook up lightning-fast in the electric pressure cooker.

The Instant Pot and its cousins are also surprisingly powerful tools for making desserts, and the offerings here—all completely gluten-free—including Apple Cinnamon Bread Pudding, New York Style Cheesecake, Double Chocolate Fudge Cheesecake, and a scrumptious Mexican Chocolate Pound Cake.

And now, my review:

This 144-page cookbook includes breakfast, appetizers, soup, main dishes, desserts, and more.  It’s all delicious sounding and gives you all the information you need to be successful.  This book starts out with some helpful pressure cooker information, gives a base recipe for GF flour that will be helpful to have on hand, and then moves into the meals.  At the beginning of each recipe, she teaches you about gluten and I found that to be really helpful.  The pages have food drawings of different ingredients and not full-color pictures of the final product.  Next, on my list of having to make from this cookbook is her rendition of Beef Barley Soup where she swaps out the barley, because that’s not GF, and puts in whole Sorghum instead.  I love that she makes things that are all-time favorites in gluten-free ways.

Fix Freeze Feast by Kati Neville and Lindsay Ahrens

And now, my review:

This book breaks it all down by the type of meat you want to make for the month and all your options with it.  It also has sides, condiments, and breakfast options.  The time saver aspect along with the food options at my fingertips had me from the get-go.  I love that the author is about being frugal and avoiding waste.  I feel like this book has set me up with all the problems I could fall into addressed.  From filling to freezing to flavor to avoiding freezer burn, this book has it all spelled out.  I’m thankful for the soup area because that’s my go-to for the season we are in at the moment.  Happy Cooking.

Aside from just being the extended preview, I enjoyed paging through this one.  The helpful hints at the front were very helpful.  For example, when peeling potatoes, cover them in cold water so they don’t turn dark…  Thumbs up!  And you can have them sit like this overnight in the fridge and use them the next day.  There’s also a helpful hint on the fastest way to peel potatoes.     This is so nice to know while we are coming into Thanksgiving and Christmas Season.  I’m also looking forward to trying the book's recipe on Eggnog for our tree trimming day coming up soon.  Check this one out for delicious Amish cooking.

This book had me from the word Healthy…  I love that about the air fryer.  From salmon to bacon, to veggies, and desserts… this book holds an amazing amount of yummy recipes.  It even has a gluten-free donut hole recipe that I’ll be needing to try out very soon.  There is a pear crisp recipe that also looks like a great addition to a wonderful meal.  This book includes full colored pictures to a lot of the recipes that will make your mouth water.  The instructions are thorough and it’s really amazing all the things that you can do with your air fryer.  Time to get cooking and creating wonderful meals for my family.

Siriously Delicious by Siri Daly

Here is the book summary:

Popular food blogger and TODAY food contributor Siri Daly shares her collection of cooking triumphs and mistakes, and delicious recipes for people who love food.

Like many of us trying to feed our families, Siri Daly is a very busy cook. As a mother of three under the age of 10, TODAY food contributor, and wife of a bicoastal traveling man, Carson Daly ("The Voice" host and TODAY show co-host), Siri often doesn’t know which end is up. Siri is not a serious cook, but she is serious about her food—and what she serves her family, friends and loved ones. Siriously Delicious is organized by how a busy mom gets through her day—breakfast, lunch, happy hour (her favorite!), dinner with sides, and dessert. Siri’s recipes are created with three goals in mind: to create food that is delicious and satisfying for both kids and adults, to prepare dishes packed with traditionally comforting flavors and ingredients (think cheese, avocado, chocolate!), and to make each recipe approachable for even a novice cook—no trips to specialty food stores are required.

Whether you’re looking for easy-to-cook recipes your kids will devour, such as mouth-watering Bacon Pizzadillas, or you’re dying to relax with a Spicy Grapefruit Cocktail when the days feel too long, this cookbook has a recipe for every occasion. Siri also includes extra tips to make your time in the kitchen easier: Siriously Simple offers a hack or time-saving tip, Siriously Sinful details how to make something even more indulgent, Siriously Nutritious explains how to make something healthier, and Siriously Mini advises how to satisfy the kiddos. Filled with Siri’s often hilarious anecdotes, Siriously Delicious will not only feed your family’s bellies but hopefully deliver a belly laugh along the way.

And now, my review:

From the creative way to spell the title to all the wonderfully delicious recipes, this is a kitchen cooking inspiration.  I found it jovial for her to mention and include “not so healthy” recipes along with the nutritious ones.  So there is bound to be something in there for everyone you’re cooking for including your own personal preference.  This is what I, and it sounds like many others, have found.  These recipes are simple, easy to follow, and able to accomplish a great finish.

Great, user-friendly recipes that will make your mouth water as you search for your weekly menu ideas.  You could plan to use them at the next potluck that you are attending and impress the many or for coffee/tea time with a friend.  The options are endless and the recipes are plenty.  Take a look at your own copy today. 

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
