Louisiana Cookbook Offers Best Healthy Recipes

Did you know eggplant is commonly used as a vegetable in cooking but is defined botanically as a fruit?! And ensure you are choosing the leanest cuts of meat by looking for those ending in “loin” or “round.” Beef is rich in a well-absorbed form of iron which helps your body use oxygen efficiently and prevents anemia.

If you want healthy southern recipes, turn to Gulf Coast Favorites cookbook.  All of Holly’s cookbooks have a ‘Pantry Stocking Guide’ to help stock your pantry and help you whip up healthy meals in a hurry! “A well-stocked pantry is like a permanent shopping list!” Then, you can cook any meal in 30 minutes.
