I bought the Lean Bodies cookbook and have tried 2 of the recipes. Both totally stunk. BLEAH! I'm trying one more tonight and than that's IT! I just hate trying new recipes that blow.

Does anyone have this cookbook and found any recipes that are worth the trouble?
 
Hey Donna! I've never heard of this cookbook, hope you have better luck tonight. What were the recipes you tried?
Sounds like you'd get 'Lean Bodies' from plain old starvation if all of the recipes 'blow'.:+

Merry Christmas

Lauries on to something here................maybe THAT is the SECRET to a Lean Bodie!

Dont you just hate all the shopping effort, the cooking effort, and the meal totally 'SUCKS" at the end?

Donna...girl, i feel your pain! i tried an eggplant recipe that ABSOLUTELY blew last night! i have found (i cook ALOT) that the best recipes are the ones that have about 40,000 calories}( !!!!! My philosphy, although questionable, is that when dinner blows, you throw it out and have wine instead!

But seriously...don't get discouraged. new recipes are sometimes a pain in the ass, but there have to be some in there that are good. you just have to find them. keep trying..it will be worth it!

and p.s. if you find the will power to stick to it, will you please e-mail me some(will power that is)

jes :7
 
Donna I don't have any comments on the cookbook, but sometimes your posts crack me up. You say it like I would say it!:7
 
Well, thanks for the input everyone. The meal did "blow". My husband didn't get home until late 'cuz he had a haircut appointment after work. When he got home, I told him it was on the stove and that it wasn't great. Well...he never ate any because of my resounding endorsement.

I've tried this baked chicken thing with just some different spices on it (very dry, very dull), a baked flounder with a coating made from cornmeal and oatbran - UGH! horrible. Last night was called Turkey Acapulco. It didn't blow as much as the other two, but I wouldn't enter it in any cook-off contests. Come to think of it...I wouldn't publish it in a cookbook!

Guess that cookbook will do nicely for propping up the sagging end of my couch.:D

It's back to Shake n' Bake for this girl. ha ha
 
0 and 3 is definitely grounds for turning that sucker into a prop! Is there anything more frustrating than a recipe that bombs? Yes! 3! But thanks for the laugh and kudos for keeping your sense of humor!

I have the Southbeach cookbook and have came up with some recipes that I have repeatedly made. But yes,I hate making something that I feel like I have to endure eating to avoid waste.
