Lemon

With 60 recipes for healthy dishes and all-natural beauty treatments, Lemons Are a Girl's Best Friend lets you have your Pomegranate Facial and eat your Halloumi, Orange, and Pomegranate Salad, too. Each of the recipes uses just a handful of all-natural, common ingredients to make deliciously clean dishes and easy treatments for healthier skin, hair, and nails. Each superfood is introduced with a list of its active compounds, which are then translated into tangible benefits--for example, the Vitamin C in the Tomato and Basil Bruschetta gives your immune system a boost, while the lycopene in the Tomato Face Mask protects your skin from free radicals and UV rays. With recipes for grocery store staples (oats, sweet potatoes, cucumbers) and buzzy superfoods (seaweed, chia seeds, cider vinegar) alike, there is something in Lemons for everyone!

Breaking up

The size of this book is smaller than a traditional paperback but larger than a trade paperback. The cover is attractive. When my husband saw it sitting on the coffee table, immediately reached for the book. He's not a big reader, so the fact that he was interested in looking through this book should say something about how eye-catching the cover is and how important the topic is.

This book is practical. It's informational. It's a good read for anyone struggling with phone addiction...which honestly, might be most of the world. Phones are no longer a "want," they have become a "need," and phone addiction is so common that it's accepted as normal. I wanted to read this book to help shake me of my bad phone habits. And I wanted to read this book because I'm sick - so very sick - of how much time it robs me of during the day. If you reach for your phone like a nervous tick or just want to read more about phone addictions, this is a great resource.

Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

 

Sps

This book is beautiful! It's filled with Jenne's energy, passion, and compassion and it is motivating me to get in the kitchen and explore Southern cuisine (not my natural habitat). :-) It has lots of sweet potato-based recipes along with other classics using peaches, pecans, and so much more. Although there is a lot of oil for some of the fried foods most of the recipes are pretty healthy veganized versions. Great job Jenne
