The mother of the bride dress has been purchased! Update to come…
But for this blogger, that means now is the time to take off these menopausal pounds.
Imagine my delight when Reader’s Digest offered to send me a copy of The Digest Diet Cookbook.
Along with an explanation of the popular fat releasing Digest Diet, the cookbook is filled with recipes that don’t require a market full of ingredients and are simple to make.
I whipped up the Yogurt Baked Chicken a few nights ago and was amazed at just how tender those chicken tenders were. Cliff was impressed that the chicken was deliciously infused with the flavors of the marinade.
Lots more Diet Digest recipes on the docket!
The book’s editor, Liz Vaccariello, (above) writes a fitness blog, Loosing It with Liz. Check it out here here. Read more about the Digest Diet here.

Yes, I would LOVE this book. I remember seeing a healthy diet recipe on Oprah one day that irritated me to no end. The IDEA was just fine, but it had about 20 ingredients!!! If I have to work that hard to diet, I’m not going to do it. This book looks perfect for me and my desire to eat healthy with easy recipes. Thanks, Barbara and Liz.
