*QUICK NOTE: We are getting closer to the end of my In The Kitchen With Kelli Series and gearing up for my new Back 2 School Blog Hop Bash (yeah, I said HOP! Oh it is going to be great, but more on that later). I still have several items to tell y’all about for the series and also have some new items in that aren’t Kitchen related. So, just be prepared for more days like yesterday coming up! You know, days with up to 3 posts! Are you excited? Don’t forget, I have a ton of giveaways running.
With a clip-out calorie chart, six-week meal plans, free foods list, portion size chart, and “under 100 calorie” snack ideas (plus recipes) losing weight never tasted so good!
I have mentioned it a few times on here and on Twitter, my husband and I are trying to lose some weight. The older we get, the more the pounds stick! This cookbook shows us how we can enjoy our yummy, southern, comfort foods and still be healthy! In fact, there are 433 recipes to help us do just that!
Personally, I love cookbooks that are more than just recipes and this Taste of Home Comfort Food Diet Cookbook fits the bill! Although, it would have been nicer if it would have been spiral bound. I like spiral-bound cookbooks because they fit better on my counter when I’m trying to cook from them.
Table of Contents:
- 8 – Comfort Food Diet Basics
- 13 – Balancing Your Diet
- 17 – Portion Size Chart
- 20 – Water, It’s Simply the Best
- 24 – Lighten Up Your Favorites
- 34 – Choose to Move
- 44 – Free Foods Chart
- 46 – Six-Week Meal Planner
- 70 – Snacks
- 84 – Breakfasts
- 118 – Lunches
- 158 – Dinners
- 240 – Side Dishes
- 266 – Desserts (oh my the 41 calorie marshmallow fudge looks DEVINE!)
- 292 – Meal Plan Worksheets
- 296 – Indexes
With the purchase of this cookbook (or if you win it) you also get:
- Full-color photos and access to exclusive web material
- Access to Online Dietician and healthy resources
- Free subscription to Taste of Home Healthy Cooking Magazine!(a $23.94 value!)
Did you ever know that spending 17.95 would give you so much value!? This is why I love Taste of Home.
So, one lucky ready will win their very own Taste of Home Comfort Food Diet Cookbook.

What I love most about the Taste of Home Web site is the advanced search feature for the recipes. I love being able to put in ingredients I already have to create a home-cooked meal on the fly without having to search through my millions of cookbooks!
The Comfort Food Diet cookbook has been on my Wish List for awhile-great way to stay healthy while still eating what you love!

I like the fact that a dietician is available on line for queries.
The Spicy Peanut Chicken Kebabs is the recipe that I would like to try!
I really like the Recipe Divider Magnet . it would be very useful
I’d like to try the Slow Cooker Pork and Beans Recipe from Taste of Home.
They have a section on the website for special diets recipes, such as diabetic, low sodium, etc. One recipe I’d like to try is Almond Chicken Stir-Fry.
i like the dutch apple pie recipe
I’d like to get their “Most Requested Recipes” cookbook!

I love all the recipes and the variety in recipes they have.
I get the taste of home magazine. This sounds the perfect cookbook for me!
I would love to try to make some of the recipes, thanks for the chance!
A couple of years ago, I got really obsessed with the Taste of Home books! I bought 4 in a row, they really have amazing recipes. And I’d love to try this one. I love the Taste of Home Appetizers cookbook.
Uh oh… I didn’t know they had recipes on their site. I guess I need to hurry up and enter this giveaway so I can go find something I want to make for dinner. I want to try the Enchilada Casser-Ole! but I don’t have all the ingredients for it right now
