Three Book Giveaway from Oxmoor House
January 25, 2018 by JennyHow is that resolve to cook healthier meals in 2018 holding up? I know I could make better choices for my family and myself. Thankfully, Oxmoor House has three beautiful books designed to help us get back on track, one meal at a time.
First we have 100% Real: 100 Insanely Good Recipes for Clean Food
Made Fresh by Sam Talbot which delivers 100 whole-food recipes
and down-to-earth advice about clean eating proving that real food
is an enjoyable choice you can make every day. The Top Chef
alumni’s nourishing dishes are overflowing with natural flavor and
free of processed ingredients, questionable additives, sweeteners,
or preservatives.
The photographs in this book are beautiful, the recipes are tempting, and Sam’s tips for keeping it real are smart and easy to follow:
Eat plants and green for real.
Cook at home at least three times a week.
Don’t eat fabricated or super processed foods.
Focus on the Fat, Fiber and Protein Super Trio.
Find the fun in food.
Most recipes are gluten-free and mostly dairy and processed sugar
free. Sam has also injected global flavors and cuisines into the
recipes which is always something I look for in a cookbook. You can
read more about 100% Real in my review from last year which also shares a
recipe for Sweet potato hash brown open-face sandwich with ham
and cranberry-dijon Brussels slaw. Today, Oxmoor House is
sharing the recipe for World’s fluffiest waffles because I loved
them so much when I made them over the holidays.
World’s fluffiest
waffles
Add this recipe to your Bookshelf (click the blue +Bookshelf
button).
Hands-on: 15 minutes
Total: 15 minutes Serves 6
These waffles offer a pillow-soft texture that just doesn’t happen
with traditional white flour. Try it and you’ll see what I
mean.
- 1 cup (about 2 ounces) white rice flour
- ½ cup (about 1.62 ounces) chickpea flour
- ½ cup (about 2.13 ounces) tapioca flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- ½ cup chopped pecans
- 6 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup unsweetened hemp milk or almond milk
- 2 tablespoons applesauce
- 2 teaspoons orange zest
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs, separated
- ½ cup melted coconut oil, plus more for brushing waffle iron
- Salted butter, softened
- Pure maple syrup
1. Whisk together the flours, pecans, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
2. Whisk together the hemp milk, applesauce, orange zest, vanilla, egg yolks, and 1/2 cup of the melted coconut oil in a separate bowl.
3. Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer at high speed until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes.
4. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture, and gently stir until just incorporated. (It’s okay if there are a few lumps.) Fold in the egg whites.
5. Pour about 1/2 cup of the batter for each waffle onto a preheated waffle iron brushed with melted coconut oil. Cook until the waffles are golden, about 2 1/2 minutes. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet, and keep warm in a 200°F oven. Top with softened butter and maple syrup.

Plans to Lose Weight Deliciously by the Editors of Cooking
Light delivers 150 recipes in sustainable 1,200-1,500
calorie-controlled meal plans packed with tasty food in an
easy-to-use format. Unlike other weight-loss plans that rely on
processed meals and preportioned snacks, the Cooking Light
solution emphasizes delicious meals prepared with whole, natural
foods and teaches proper portion sizes to ensure you lose weight
and keep it off, for life.
Many cooks trust the recipes from Cooking Light and I have yet to make a recipe from this trusted brand that we didn’t enjoy. We are in the process of indexing this title for our members. Until then, a few recipe examples include Roast beef and blue cheese panzanella, Tarragon chicken sandwiches, and Ground chicken wraps with chili sauce. These types of recipes make eating light totally delicious.
Everyday Vegetarian: A Delicious
Guide for Creating More Than 150 Meatless Dishes by The Editors
of Cooking Light Magazine isn’t just for vegetarians. It’s for
anyone who wants to add more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains
to their meals and omit meat-without sacrificing flavor-even if
it’s just once or twice a week.
Beyond the health benefits, you’ll find plenty of bold flavors and
rich textures in appealing dishes.
Inside the book, you’ll find: Over 150 flavorful recipes, including a full-color photograph of every dish; Complete nutritional information for every recipe; Vegan recipes are identified; A guide to building an everyday vegetarian kitchen, including details about versatile, flavor-building ingredients that are ideal to keep on hand.
We are working on indexing this title as well but a few recipes that look great to me include White bean pot pie with whole-wheat crust, Black bean cakes with ginger-cilantro cream, and a Creamy broccoli cheese soup. My picky husband is excited for me to make the Black bean cakes – now that is a miracle.
