Hungry Girl: 200 Under 200 Review
I must admit that I did not like her first book and I was not going to buy her second one. But, low and behold I receive this book-as a gift- yesterday in the mail (one day early) and I opened it up and the recipes didn’t look that bad. So, I decide try some recipe last night and they were pretty good. The jelly filled cupcakes so far are my favorite. She still uses a lot of processed foods, which is why I never really cared for her recipes. But, I do like this book and its worth taking a look at.
One of the things that disappointed me about the original Hungry Girl cookbook was the dismal dessert selection. Sure, I’d had some success with the pumpkin cupcakes and brownies, but I have a real sweet tooth to keep in check, so I wanted more dessert suggestions.
Fortunately for me, Hungry Girl’s follow-up follows through nicely. The format is similar to the original – a list of recommended products and staples (which are mostly the same), then the best part – more recipes to try! A lot of these recipes call for the same ‘Hungry Girl stapes’ – Fiber One, shirataki, eggbeaters, so you don’t actually have to buy a whole slew of new foods to try out most of these recipes.
For the breakfast section, I was happy to find some pretty creative oatmeal recipes – oatmeal chocolate chip pancakes, and oatmeal sundaes. I was particularly excited to try the blueberry muffins – which don’t call for a cake mix (yay!) – they turned out nicely, even though I used white flour instead of whole wheat…
I am new to the calorie counting (1 month in) and found the first book while browsing in a book store…liked it…so, when I heard that there was going to be a new one, I pre-ordered it after reading about it some. When it came in the mail, I immediately fell in love. The first page I opened it to was the vanilla-thrilla coffee…love at first site. Hungry Girl makes it so easy to stay on a low calorie lifestyle (note I did not call it a “diet”) because there is a version of all the “bad” foods in a low cal version. The only thing is the soy crumbles…still can’t get past those, but lean turkey fits in well without changing the calorie count too much. One thing I have noticed, is that most of the recipes are on the high side of the average calorie count (which is great because it makes me feel good when I count the actual calories and find out that it was less than the average in the book…makes me feel like I accomplished something).
But on to the desserts…There are FOUR chapters devoted to dessert, and two that are mostly dessert. Yay!! First, to satisfy the cupcake fetish everyone seems to have nowadays – there’s a chapter devoted to cupcakes, which includes red velvet adn even chocolate marshmallow – can’t wait to try that one! Then there’s creme brulee, tiramisu, strawberry shortcake, and apple fritters.
I own and like the first Hungry Girl cookbook and I’m finding this second book to be a nice addition. I’ve made a few things in the few days I’ve had this book and the cinnamon cream cheese dip and the fro-yo oatmeal sundae are my favorites so far. The recipes are simple to follow and the results usually taste as good as the full-calorie originals. The book relies pretty heavily on processed foods and artificial sweeteners, so it may not be a favorite of anyone trying to stick with natural foods. I find the breakfast, snack, and dessert recipes to be much stronger than the savory ‘mini meals’ so I wouldn’t want this to be my only cookbook, but I’ll keep turning to it when I need a snack fix!
