The Skinnytaste Cookbook: Light on Calories, Big on Flavor by Heather K. Jones, Gina Homolka

3.0

I feel like this is a 3.5 for me. I do like the concept of slimming down recipes that are unnecessarily rich for every day eating, and I appreciate the quickness & flavor in Homolka's recipes, but I am personally hesitant about regularly using recipes that call for so many canned/packaged things (broth, beans, light cheese, etc.) and this book in particular seems to name brands an awful lot, which I do not like). And definitely not enough photos for me! (Many two page spreads of recipes with no photo for either, so it's like only 1/3 to 1/2 of the recipes have accompanying photos.)
