Introduction
These days it seems like everyone is trying to tighten their belts—
financially and literally. The problem is that too many of us fall
into the weight loss marketing trap: paying lots of cash for
processed, packaged “diet” food that’s loaded with junk, from
artificial colors and flavors to nasty preservatives. Crash diets,
starvation, and fake food (yes, that’s “fake food,” as in made in a
science lab!) loaded with fillers and chemicals aren’t the solution
to looking fabulous forever. In fact, oftentimes we’re making
ourselves sick (and broke!) from chemicals and additives when we’re
trying to make ourselves healthier! And what’s sadder than eating
dinner out of a microwave tray? I want fresh, seasonal foods that
are beautiful on the plate—and that I’ve chosen myself.
