The Eat-Clean Diet Cookbook: Great-tasting Recipes That Keep You Lean

The Eat-Clean Diet Cookbook in particular has over 150 recipes. The book is full of pictures, tips, and delicious and easy-to-make recipes. It is divided into smaller sections for different categories: breakfast, soup, grains, proteins, sauces, one-dish-meals, vegetables, pasta, and dessert. I'm glad that Reno has included a category just for grains -- I'm not accustomed to eating grains, but the recipes look so good that I feel I'm going to enjoy trying them out. I'm especially eager to try out the various quinoa dishes, as I've never had quinoa before. I just hope our local supermarket carries these high-protein dried fruits and seeds.
