This is a recipe from a new cookbook coming out written by my friend Maureen Jeanson. Maureen co-authored this with Jamie Wilson. It is filled with some awesome recipes which not only taste out of this world, but are good for you! She also has put the nutritional values for each recipe in the book as well!
What makes “Squeaky Gourmet” so unique is that it isnt just a cookbook. It has food education, cooking 101 type things as well as tips and advice on how to become motivated, remain motivated and get healthy.
Order your copy now- this is a fantastic cookbook for yourself or even better- the health conscious person that you have no idea what to buy for Christmas! Here is a recipe that is not only fast and easy- but delicious!
Look for more about Maureen in the upcoming weeks. Not only has she put out one of the best cookbooks I have ever seen, she is one hell of a lady. To order your copy of “The Squeaky Gourmet” go to:
