Great Book for a Healthy Lifestyle

I was hesitant to get this book because the meals I prepare are for a nursing mom, hungry husband, and somewhat picky toddler. However, a few recipes (Whole Wheat Waffles with Strawberries and Yogurt, Coconut-Cherry Smoothie) caught my eye so I decided to give it a try. I also like many recipes from the Martha Stewart team as a long-time subscriber to their magazine Everyday Food. 
At first glance, this book is filled with gorgeous photos and simple recipes. The introduction is a bit dry and even a little preachy with its "Golden Rules for Clean Eating". I may go back and read all the way through it, as my focus started to wander the first few times. It is really informative. As I started flipping through the book, I realized that there are a lot of recipes. Most of them use fewer than 10 ingredients and have really simple preparations. I am excited to try the Wild Salmon, Asparagus and Shiitakes in Parchment because I know my whole family will like it. 
If you are interested in Clean Eating, or just eating healthier, this is the book for you. You can purchase the book here Clean Slate: A Cookbook and Guide


I received this book from Blogging for Books, but the opinions are my own.
