Get Supermarket Healthy With Melissa D’Arabian

March 3, 2015 By Sam Sly Leave a Comment

Supermarkethealthy

When it comes to eating healthier, one of the common complaints I hear is “Healthy foods are too expensive and too time consuming to prepare.” Okay, that is two common complaints. While I personally feel it is worth some investment of time and resources, we do need to be practical. For that reason I love resources that show people ways for busy people to eat healthy on a budget. That is why I requested to review Melissa D’Arabian’s new cook book Supermarket Healthy – Recipes & Know-How For Eating Well Without Spending a Lot.

I received a review copy of Supermarket Healthy by Melissa D’Arabian through the publisher and Blogging For Books. I actually do not watch the Food Network (should I?) so was not familiar with Melissa D’Arabian. I just thought the concept might fit well with the Feeling Fit, Bit by Bit approach to food and moderation.

My Experience Using Supermarket Healthy

Here are some photos I took while making the Hot maple Multigrain Cereal from Supermarket Healthy.

I tried three different recipes featured in this book to get an feel for how doable the recipes are and whether they are tasty. I was happy with both, the instructions were clear and easy to follow. I am a reforming “kitchen-phobe” so if I think a recipe is doable, it likely is. I will make my own sauces, develop my own recipes and make things from scratch, but all of this is recently acquired skills. I still lack the skills to make dainty, attractive fo0d and my meals turn out more rustic than pretty in appearance (as you know if you have seen the images in my cooking posts including this one!).

I was surprised that some of the recipes were including in a cookbook on healthy eating, but I do think there is room for moderation and “sometimes foods” in a healthy lifestyle.

I liked the recipes I have tried and especially like some of the resource content in Supermarket Healthy. Supermarket Healthy features some very helpful “Blueprint” pages that basically give you a guideline to develop your own recipes in the future. I love this as it helps the reader apply the content to their lifestyle beyond the recipes in the book. Thinking back to my recent “kitchen-phobe” days, I would have appreciated this book. However the collection of recipes also makes it suitable for more experienced cooks as well.
