★★★Beans: Weight Loss Superfoods Cookbook, Recipes to Lose Weight Without Calorie Counting or Exercise (Vol 1) by Deborah Marks

I won this R2R from LibraryThing Member's Giveaway in exchange for my honest opinion.

The theory here is that beans fill you up fast and have such a high water content, that you will lose weight. I am about 95% certain, I could not get my family to try any of the recipes, but it was interesting to see the different nutrient contents of the beans.

Thank you to the author for sharing these recipes and tips with me. ( )

I was very intrigued by this book because I have been interested in super-foods and didn't realize how beans fit into this category. This book is very helpful by including non traditional recipes for beans. I tried a recipe for Herbed Lima beans that was quite good.

As a novice preparer of these recipes, I would have appreciated information on serving sizes and images of the dishes. It is only for this practical reason that I did not give a five star rating.

Thank you for selecting me as a Library Thing member giveaway recipient. I really appreciated the book and enjoyed it too! ( )

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and it will not be a cookbook that is never opened! The recipe "Walnut Hummus" is a delicious spin on the typical Hummus I make. I also realized after reading this book that I had all the ingredients to make "Simply Lima Beans". Many of these recipes require no extra food purchases, just what staples are in the house. The only problem I had with this book was the description of how to determine how much fiber you need. It said to divide two numbers, but I looked at the example, it multiplied it. I eventually figured it out. I'm super happy to have this book. ( )
