Excellent book of tasty, healthy dishes and treats!
I am always trying to find new ways to avoid over-processed, chemical-laden foods. Not only are they bad for you over time, once you are to really pay attention to how your body feels and responds, you can feel the effects of poor eating right away. This book has some great tips to get back on track. It’s packed full of good, clean, healthy recipes—one for every single day of the year. But the best thing is that this isn’t a bunch of bland tofu recipes, but some terrific, tasty dishes and treats that will quench that craving for sweets. The book is organized and broken into sections that include dinner, dessert, and lunch recipes. I appreciated that these healthful dishes didn’t include any hard-to-find or exotic ingredients—everything is easily accessible at your local supermarket or organic food store. Plus, each dish also includes a breakdown of calories, proteins, fat, and carbs, which makes counting calories, etc. much easier. This is the best way to get back on track with your eating without feeling like you’re starving to death. Be satisfied while getting your health and your body back!

The recipes in this book are hit or miss and ...
The recipes in this book are hit or miss and it really is missing a lot of key content. A lot of the soup recipes simply say cook on low for 20 minutes. Never says to bring them to a boil and 20 minutes on low does not soften the veggies in the soup enough. The cauliflower quinoa casserole takes almost an hour to cook but the recipe has you believe its 25 minutes. You cannot plan any meals based on the cook times listed on most of these recipes. I have even come across one recipe that the ingredients list was blank. One of the recipes I came across was missing a critical step in the directions so I just had to wing it. I have the kindle version of this book and am using the kindle app on my ipad. I highly doubt that is the issue but hey you never know. I did only pay $1 for the book so I have that on my side but some days thats too expensive for the frustration caused by missing directions and low estimated cook times.

Great recipes, although not all of them are "clean"
Many of the recipes look delicious and overall, they're quite healthy. Eating from the recipes in this book will definitely be much more healthy than the way I am eating now. The reason it doesn't get five stars is that some of the recipes aren't "clean," even by the author's own definition. For example, the book's introduction says to stay away from sugar, processed foods, and alcohol. It also says that "fat is not the culprit for weight gain. In fact, fat is good for your brain." However, some of the recipes use sweetened condensed milk (sugar, highly processed), low-fat milk (milk fat is one of the "good" ones so why not use whole milk?), and Amaretto (alcohol). To be fair, the introduction does say that the above-referenced recommendations are just that — guidelines versus rules — but I wouldn't expect to find so many recipes that stray from the guidelines in a book of "clean eating recipes."I'm not trying to dissuade anyone from buying the book. In fact, I recommend the book for anyone who is not already eating a fairly clean, healthy diet. I think most of us could agree that the recipes contained in this book are head and shoulders above the Standard American Diet as far as healthfulness goes. And most of them look delicious! I just think people should know before buying the book that not all the recipes closely follow the author's own guidelines.

I'm glad it was free!
Although some of the recipes look good, I had a difficult time getting past the many errors in spelling, grammar, and sentence structure. Anyone who writes books--even recipe books--should, at the very least, use the grammar check function included in most word processing programs. How can someone expect to be taken seriously if he/she can't present information in an intelligent, well-written manner?

I appreciate how the author includes healthy dishes but most do not include very expensive ingredients.
Some very interesting and new recipes. I've already tried a few and enjoyed them greatly. I appreciate how the author includes healthy dishes but most do not include very expensive ingredients. I especially loved the chia chocolate pudding. A surprising winner. Also the other uses for quinoa- I was tired of the same tried but true recipes I've used before. This book inspired me to use try different uses and experiment on my own. A great book!

BAD, BAD! Run, don't walk, away from this book.
The title and the cover design are the only things that are good about this cook book.There are NO PICTURES, there are 3 to 4 recipes per page, the "instructions" are only 3 to 4 sentences long. This is a poorly written cookbook, I have made a few things out of it and have been disappointed with the results each time.Tonight I made the Garlicky Tomato Chicken Casserole, sounded good, what happens is you are basically making soup in the oven, the "instruction" say to add everything to the dish, cover and put in the oven for 40 minutes. I took the cover off and it looks like poached chicken, which it is, there is to much much liquid, not enough flavor. I don't know who taught the author how to cook, but this is not cooking. The "instructions" feel like they are missing parts. Maybe the proofreader was tired the day this book came to them, nothing really works with these recipes.Please, please, please I beg you, DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK. Terrible, terrible.

Meh
Happy I got this for $.99. I have been eating clean for a few year now and was looking for new ideas.Unfortunately, I didn’t find much of interest for me. You’ll find plenty of recipes here (lots of soups and salads) I just didn’t find most of them very intriguing personally.I grew very weary of directions to serve something fresh. Seriously, you’ll find those words in many, many, many of these recipes. Nit-picky, perhaps, but I absolutely hate that.I’m glad this was cheap. I would recommend looking for a book from Clean Eating magazine if you are interested in eating clean.
