Jennifer Reilly, RD, co-author of The Cancer Survivor's Guide (see sidebar), has partnered with Trader Joe's and now has her own cookbook -- Skinny Dish! -- with the tag line: Lip-smacking, pound-shedding food you'll crave like a shipwrecked sailor! which totally captures her way of making healthy plant-based nutrition the most fun since... you name it! I demo'd her "I (Heart) Hummus" recipe for a recent Lunch-n-Learn and it was fabulous -- even better the next day! You can use hummus in so many ways: a dip for raw veggies or whole wheat pita bread; spread on a tortilla, covered with any amount or combination of chopped veggies, spinach, sprouts, seeds, and salsa, wrap it up (if you can!) and you've got lunch; or lose the high-fat mayo and slather in sandwiches and on veggie burgers. Low-fat, high-fiber, excellent protein -- what's not to love? You'll love her blog, too!
