The Biggest Loser Family Cookbook by Devin Alexander, Melissa Roberson (2008, Paperback)

Dieting can be a real pain when you have to cook for a family who won't eat your diet food. :) I purchased Devin's book "The Most Decadent Diet Ever" and was hooked. Everyone who has tried anything I've cooked in the book LOVED it from decadent chocolate cakes, to mini cheesecakes, Salads, side dishes, entrees...IT's a lot easier when everyone is eating the same thing. Easier on the budget as well the cook's time and efforts.

I was really happy to see this family edition of the Biggest Loser Cookbook as I've come to trust Devin's recipes to be tasty and healthy. The recipes are simple and easy to follow and Devin suggests alternatives for out of season fruits and veggies, or other seasonal items a recipe might call for. There are plenty of recipes included so there are sure to be several that will appeal to your family. The book is also budget minded and that's a big help. I'm still partial to "The Most Decadent Diet Ever" and "Fast Food Fix" will always be one of my most used cookbooks (the "fried" food recipes were a godsend to this Texas "Deep fat fried" everything family! Hard to stick to a diet when you have to give up ALL your favorite foods! I also really love the Pizza Hutt Meat Lover's Pizza recipe...so nice to have pizza again that works in my diet again!! Devin has been responsible for my hubbys 40 pound weight loss (I'm lagging behind at 7 pounds, but I quit smoking at the same time so I'm just happy to have a weight LOSS and not a weight GAIN!)THere are several recipes in the book that are delicious and several others I plan to try out on the grandkids next time they stay with me. I would recommend this book as well as Devin's other books. The chocolate cake in "The Most Decadent Diet Ever" is to die for!!
