Introducing Simple & Nutritious

I've spent the past 4 days staring at a computer screen for hours each day, feeling like I wanted to rip my hair out and yes, crying a few tears. However, I am happy to say that my new cookbook has been published. You can click on the picture above to take you to the page on Amazon where it is listed. It is available as a paperback, hardcover and Kindle e-book.

I'm so happy with how it turned out and yet, never thought writing a cookbook would be that difficult. I would think I was finished and then find something else I needed to tweak. I also included a bit of my weight loss journey in it as well. 

I have also created a new website for all things frugal called The Frugal Connection. The link for that is at the top of this blog. I also started a Facebook page for that with the desire to build a community around inspiring each other with ideas to save money in this crazy economy.

I'm excited about this new book but had to laugh at the irony of how expensive it is to print a book in color. Any ideas that I actually will make money on the book went out the window once the printing costs and the publisher fees are subtracted from the book price. But I'm happy with the book and think it's beautiful. I created it as a 7x10" size with color photos in it. 

I know it can help others on a similar journey and that's really what it was all about anyway, not making money. I hope that you will find it useful if you are trying to incorporate more plants and whole foods into your diet. If you already eat this way, you may glean some new ideas and recipes.

My goal with this book was to create some fun, frugal and nutritious plant-based, whole foods recipes. Enjoy and please share the Amazon link with others!
