I found this in the free bin at 2nd and Charles last year and I finally made something from it - Stir-fried Walnut Chicken. It was very good! There's other recipes in here I want to try, too.

Baked Southern Grits
Zesty Hamburger Soup
Sausage Lentil Soup
Steamed Kale
Texas Barley Salad

I'm not much for artificial sweeteners so not really thinking of diet soda as a "free food" as the intro said. Also, why are tomatoes and pickles unlimited free food but salsa is limited to 1/4 cup per day? (Seriously, why even bother?) and why limit relish?

Anyway, there's a 6 week diet plan in here. Sounds good, but how can I get up every morning and fix eggs or pancakes or frittatas or enchiladas then go to work? And make all those lunches at home to eat at work like pizza, salmon, and stew? Then come home from work and make all those home cooked meals? I decided that's the rich housewife diet. I'm sticking to cereal and Lean Cuisine.

Some good stuff in here, though not a health food recipe book. ( )

rocky road treat, p.280, embarrassingly good pudding pop.
Chinese pork 'n' noodles, p.239, not bad.
