A little over a week ago I had the opportunity to attend a book signing and blogger meet-up with Lisa Lillien, the best-selling author and founder of Hungry Girl. Hungry Girl started as a site that provides tips and recipes for people who love to eat and also want to keep it healthy. I've been a fan of Hungry Girl for years so of course I jumped at the chance to attend.
Lisa loves Laughing Cow cheese! |
- Lots of veggies make great pizza crust alternatives: eggplant, portobello mushrooms, bell peppers.
- One stick of light string cheese in a blender is the perfect amount of cheese for a personal sized pizza.
- If you want to make homemade french fries there are lots of veggies that work great besides potatoes: turnips, carrots, butternut squash. (I will definitely be trying these out!)
- Don't always assume that "lean" on a package means healthy. Did you know that lean ground turkey usually has more fat than lean ground beef?
We couldn't resist the chance to get a roc blogger pic with Lisa! L-R: Me, Melissa from Hungry Food Love, Lisa, Tracy from Rah Cha Chow, Amanda from Amanda's Dish, Sarah from Mindfully Frugal Mom, and Becky from The Fluff Report |
In addition to meeting Lisa this event gave me a chance to meet some fellow bloggers (some of whom I have been following for years)! Check out their blogs (listed in the caption above). They are a bunch of amazingly creative and talented women!
It's almost like she knows me! |
"It's all about a realistic approach to eating smart. If you make good choices most of the time, you can be a little more flexible other times."Now that you know all about Lisa and her new book how would you like a copy of your own? Hungry Girl and Flatout are giving a sweet prize pack to one of my lucky readers! (If you follow me on social media then you've already seen the swag.)

Good luck! Check back on Tuesday, May 27th to see if you're the lucky winner, and in the mean time check out my last blog post for an idea on what to do with all that Flatout flat bread if you're it!
I've heard of this cookbook and would love some recipes. Thank you for the chance!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so good. I think this would be good for anytime not just breakfast
ReplyDeleteDefinitely! The Fold-Its are really versatile. I can't wait to try the Flatout pizza crust next.
DeleteI haven't read the book yet (but I love the title!)
