 Great low point recipes! September 25, 2008

Whenever I am running low on ideas for what to cook, I open up my Hungry Girl book to find an easy recipe that is good for you. A majority of the recipes that I have made are really good and everyone around me would never know that they are good for you.
Easy and very helpful! September 23, 2008

This book is a lifesaver for people who are busy but still want a good, healthy, easy to make meal or snack. I love this book because the recipes are mostly for one person. This works out a lot better for me than following recipes in traditional cookbooks, which tend to make the recipes for 4 or more people. ( I know I can portion it out and save it for later, but this doesn't always work out for me.)
I'm a Weight Watchers member as well, and the Hungry Girl website lists the Points values for every recipe in the book. The Points are not listed inside the book, which I was a little disappointed over, so I just penciled them in lightly by each recipe. It's sort of a hassle, but worth it.
I don't consider myself a chef or anything, but these recipes are sooo easy! I highly recommend this book.

I was getting Hungry girl recipes online and now have them all at my fingertips in my kitchen. It's very helpful since I'm following the WW program. Very good book.
 Great book if you're such a hungry girl you don't care about taste September 17, 2008

I picked up this book mostly because it seemed like it had recipes for foods that I might actually enjoy like philly cheese steak, spicy chicken sandwhich etc and promised easy, low-fat, high-fiber recipes.
I wish I had glanced over the ingredient lists a bit more before purchasing. The recipes rely very heavily on "faux" foods such as fat free cheese, sour cream, cream cheese, soy crumbles, etc
Of all the recipes I tried so far, only the cheese steak is decent and it's basically just sauteed onions and meat, so....
The Fiber One breading she uses frequently for chicken dishes is imo horrible. I guess if you just really want to get some extra fiber or you like the taste of Fiber One, it's fine, but I didn't care for it at all.
All the fake dairy products make most of the recipes bland, with weird textures. Some of them I caught myself thinking might be decent if I swapped out all the fake ingredients for smaller amounts of real food, but overall everything I tried ranged from just edible to horrible.
I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone other than people who are determined to eat nachos and fries and such and are willing to resort to all these "diet" versions of foods to keep the calories down.
