23 Jan Book Giveaway: 1,000 Low-Calorie Recipes
For week 3 of my healthy book giveaway, you’re in for a special treat! My fellow registered dietitian and award-winning cookbook author Jackie Newgent has just released her latest cookbook 1,000 Low-Calorie Recipes. Jackie is a natural culinary nutritionist who believes in creating recipes using real food and making nutritious food taste delicious, which she sure knows how to do! Get a sneak peak into her new book, then enter to win your own copy.
About 1,000 Low-Calorie Recipes
It’s true, there really are 1,000 recipes in this comprehensive cookbook and Jackie did indeed test every one of them to ensure they would entice your taste buds. These recipes aren’t only delicious, but each provides fewer than 500 calories per serving. Best of all, even a kitchen novice will have no trouble whipping them up. Jackie’s recipes will help you meet your fruit and veggie goals, as each recipe is built upon mouthwatering plant-based ingredients. This book is not about cutting out food groups or deprivation, but rather a healthy approach to eating well and preparing food your whole family will love. I’ve already made Mom’s Banana Bread and Ginger Chicken, Broccoli and Oyster Mushroom Stir-Fry, which were thoroughly by my entire family!
Tijuana Turkey “Lasagna” Verde
Makes 4 servings: 1 wedge (1⁄4 pie) each
A bit of lusciousness is a good thing for keep¬ing you happy while following a healthful eating plan. The calories are still kept in check in this layered Mexican-flavored dish by using tangy fat-free Greek yogurt, lean turkey, and a gener¬ous amount of fresh tomatoes. You’ll enjoy every zesty, bubbly, cheesy bite.
2 teaspoons grapeseed or peanut oil
10 1⁄2 ounces ground turkey (about 94% lean)
1⁄2 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
1⁄2 cup tomatillo salsa (salsa verde)
1⁄3 cup + 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
2⁄3 cup fat-free or low-fat plain Greek yogurt
1⁄4 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1 1⁄2 teaspoons cornstarch
4 (6-inch) stone-ground corn tortillas, halved
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved, or grape tomatoes
1 1⁄4 cups shredded pepper Jack or Monterey Jack cheese
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the turkey and salt and sauté until the turkey is crumbled and brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in the salsa and 1⁄3 cup of the cilantro. Set aside.
- Whisk together the yogurt, sour cream, lime juice, and cornstarch in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Arrange in a 9-inch deep-sided pie dish the fol¬lowing: 4 pieces of the tortillas, half of the yogurt mixture, half of the turkey mixture, half of the tomatoes (round side up), and half of the cheese. Repeat.
- Bake in the oven until the layered mixture is hot and bubbly, cheese is fully melted and lightly browned, and tomatoes are fully roasted and gently caramelized, about 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand at least 10 minutes before slicing.
- Cut the round “lasagna” into four wedges, sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon cilantro, and serve.

Posted at 22:06h, 23 JanuaryMy biggest challenge is cooking healthy meals for one, and finding the time to do so. It’s hard to come home from work and cook something for myself separate from what everyone else is preparing. I’d love a cookbook with healthy recipes that everyone in my house will enjoy!

Posted at 15:22h, 24 JanuaryMy biggest challenge to cooking healthy meals is the lack of selection in our little town. We compensate by picking up specialty items when we visit bigger cities. Thanks for the giveaway.

Posted at 06:49h, 02 FebruaryThis cookbook provides helpful tips on how to chose organic and natural foods. Recipes are delicious and the book includes many menus ideas. The information on portion sizes, the diabetes exchange guidelines and other nutrition facts gives consumers what they need to make healthy food choices. It includes a lot of vegetarian recipes which can be easily incorporated in a person’s weekly food choices. The All-Natural Diabetes Cookbook can be a staple on the book shelf as a healthy guideline to eating more organic and natural foods in the diet. As a registered dietitian, I will recommend this book to my clients.
