Eat Happy, Too: 160+ New Gluten Free, Grain Free, Low Carb Recipes Made from Real Foods for a Joyful Life by Anna VocinoMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A cook book for more experienced people but definitely one that you could incorporate into your everyday life with some specialty meals.
Probably a little more expensive and have to search for a little hard ingredients but eating healthy is worth it.
I've made the following recipes so far,
- Grilled Finished Artichokes w/ Lemon Garlic Dill Aioli
An app that was easy to make and common ingredients. Was easy to make and had a great lemon fresh taste to it.
- Baked Cauliflower Gnocchi w/ Pumpkin Marinara
Loved this one, so good! Again, pretty common ingredients but more time consuming and you probably don't want to be a novice in the kitchen to try. I will definitely be making this one again.
- Lemon Orange Chicken
Almond flour gives this one a little bit of a different taste but the lemon and orange flavoring carry the dish.
- Coconut Mango Cauliflower "Rice" Salad w/ Grilled Shrimp
I'm a sucker for mango and shrimp and this dish did not disappoint! Easy to follow instructions and use fresh mint for this delicious recipe, I'll probably be making this one over and over.
- Coconut Lime Broccoli
Probably the one I liked least but I've had problems with broccoli soaking up too much in recipes before. Broccoli lost some of its crunch and the flavor combinations weren't doing it for me.
- Grilled Peach and Burrata Salad
Easy to make but can come off impressive. Burrata is not found at some grocery stores so be prepared to try more high end or out of your usual one. Was a great meal with some white wine.
- Red Velvet Cupcake Tops
With the use of beets, these intrigued me. I'm not on any special diets but I like trying different healthy ways of cooking, these were good, for using beets, lol. Takes a little finess to form correctly and you'll need a stocked pantry with items like flax meal, coconut flour, and almond flour.
- Sweet Potato Hash w/ Poached Eggs
Loved this breakfast one! This allows you to add or subtract favorites and a recipe that you can play around with more. Easy and probably one of the more cheaper ones to make.
- The Pinki Tuscadero
Yes, there are even some alcoholic recipes in here :) This was a fun, pretty, fancy, and tasty cocktail.
I hope I've given some idea to the types of recipes in here, I do think if looking for gluten free, healthier options these are great everyday meals. With almost 200 hundred recipes she offers apps, entrees, deserts, drinks, and a plethora of types of meals to try out. The instructions are shorter and to the point, you might want to be comfortable in the kitchen.
