New Cookbook from @DietsInReview "Baker's Dozen" #FitFluential

 

 

Baker’s Dozen from DietsInReview.com  

New eCookbook with a fantastic kitchen tools prize offer! 

 

 


 

Hello!

 

Today I want to talk about a fabulous eCookbook from the folks at DietsInReview.com called Baker’s Dozen. Just got it for myself and I plan to send to my friends & family for the holidays as sort of an electronic “stocking stuffer” as it is filled with fabulous healthy breakfast and brunch recipes.Nom nom!

 

Check out the press release below plus there is a link for a recipe for Apple Cinnamon Streusel Donut that looks totally drool-worthy (see below.)

 

 

Wichita, KS (October 2012) - DietsInReview.com, (DIR) one of the leading health sites and the largest diet review site on the web, has just announced the release of its first ever e-cookbook. Baker's Dozen is a collection of 13 healthier breakfast and brunch recipes that help fill the gap of both the quick-fix mid-week morning meal and the more wholesome casual weekend breakfasts.

With a focus on fresh, whole ingredients that are also accessible, Baker's Dozen offers 13 breakfast and brunch recipes that are as beautiful when prepared as they are delicious to eat.

The e-cookbook is available for download for just $1.99. Customers will receive a PDF that captures each recipe with vibrant photography and easy-to-follow instructions that they can access on an iPhone, iPad, laptop, or other digital device. As well, each recipe is accompanied by nutrition facts calculated by CalorieCount.com.

"This first-ever recipe book from DietsInReview.com captures our personal philosophy on food and cooking - that it be wholesome, fresh, decadent, and pretty," said managing editor Brandi Koskie. "We say pretty because we eat with our eyes as much as we do our mouths, and when a plate looks and feels satisfying before we've even take a bite we are more likely to take the time to actually enjoy it."

Some of the Baker's Dozen recipes are personal favorites of recipe developers Koskie and assistant editor (and food photographer) Dana Shultz, like the Sweet Potato Hashbrowns and Blood Orange
Mimosas. Some pushed them outside comfort zones to create something truly unique, like Fig and Honey Breakfast Quinoa or Asparagus Prosciutto Crepes. They included exciting new takes on classic breakfast fare with the Sunny Side Up Breakfast Sandwich, Chocolate Covered Strawberry Pancakes, and Mason Jar Omelets. The popularity of frozen banana ice cream inspired a fun new take on the breakfast parfait, and a creamy scoop of Chobani Greek Yogurt made for a more nutritious Carrot Cake Muffin.

To get a taste of Baker's Dozen and preview the book, DIR shared its Apple Cinnamon Streusel Doughnut recipe, which uses a whole wheat batter and Truvia atop sautéed Granny Smith apples, cinnamon, and oats to create a guiltless breakfast treat. http://www.dietsinreview.com/diet_column/10/announcing-bakers-dozen-our-first-ecookbook-with-13-healthier-breakfast-and-brunch-recipes/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=PR_Email

• DIR will give a DietsInReview.com measuring cup to the first 100 readers who download
Baker's Dozen. Those 100 readers will also be eligible to win a kitchen tools prize pack valued at $100, including a Yonanas ice cream maker, a set of cutting boards, pretty muffin papers, and a doughnut pan.

That’s all for today folks. Tomorrow I will be posting my newest Vlog with a preview of the It Starts with Food: Discover the Whole30 and Change Your Life in Unexpected Ways book giveaway. Good stuff!

Check out the brand-new skort from @MizFitOnline to benefit the Mayan Family Charities

 

 

Miz Fit Online Skort! 

The Fitness World’s Favorite Misfit Creates New Skort for the Mayan Families Charity 

 

 

Hey there! Hi there! Ho there!

 

If any of you out there are into fitness Blogs and inspirational tidings from a tattooed-clad, self-proclaimed “misfit” who hails from Austin (and soon, the Bay Area!) then you MUST know about Carla Birnberg of the famed Miz Fit Online Blog. Carla is a bad-ass FILA spokesperson and member of the Lifetime Fitness team who created an ADORABLE skort that is covered in skulls, crossbones and all kinds of wonderful affirmations  such as “POWER lift,” “Super Hero” and “Unapologetically Myself.”

 

I saw Carla’s design at this year Fitbloggin’ and bought mine (for $48 plus shipping) right away because wearing black capris tights every single damn day is boring. Why not make my outfit as fun as my class? I can tell you the design is cute & flattering and will definetly garner some extra attention at the gym!

 

This is from Carla’s release:

In a quest to find the perfect-fit apparel that easily transitions from gym to street, Carla Birnberg, creator of the daily MizFitOnline blog, searched for a personalized workout skort. When her search came up short, she decided to create what she envisioned.

 

A decidedly bold design featuring empowering words to live by, fun whimsical (but not cutesy) custom-designed fabric which breathes, custom cut which allows for greater movement, and black back-drop lends it an air of adult this all-in-one gets compliments wherever it shows up.

 

Carla explains, “We’re all about empowerment here.  Muscles, strength, power, taking up space in the world and being hear.  These sentiments are all found on the skirt’s pattern.  We also love girly skulls as, to us, they symbolize strength and silliness which is who we are.” 

 

A price point of $48, you can find the MizFit skort HERE. All proceeds go to the Mayan Families charity.

The skort design was a natural process born of mindset and function, the decision to give the proceeds to the Mayan Families charity, a given for the deep gratitude to the Guatamalan people for allowing her to adopt one of their own 

 

In addition to promoting this skort and getting to ready to move in just a few shorts weeks—Carla is also giving up processed foods for the next 30 days. Go Carla! You can find her on Twitter @MizFitOnline if you want to pass along some encouragement.

 

That’s all for today folks. Tomorrow I will be talking about Baker's Dozen ebook from Diets in Review.com. Y’all come back now, ya hear?

What Did We Learn This Month? @goodhealth with Guiliana Rancic on the Cover!

 

 

What Did We Learn This Month?

 

 Health magazine: November 2012

 

 

Health Cover Star for November: 

Giuliana Rancic who is a television host and a fashion designer who co-stars in the reality show Giuliana & Bill who found out last year after dealing with multiple fertility treatments that she had breast cancer. After a double mastectomy she is doing well now and is the mother of her new boy Duke (what a cute a name!)

 

Giuliana answers questions from Health readers about her diagnosis, using a surrogate to conceive her child plus the miscarriages she endured. (It’s not a totally sad interview by the way. She is an upbeat, positive person so don’t be afraid to read about her!)

 

So what else is inside the November Health?

  

"Move Over Book Club, Fitness Parties Are Hot” 

The next big party trend is taking place at your local fitness club. So get ready to sip on a fun cocktail after your next after hours ride!

 

 
 
 

“The 100 Best Diet Tricks of All Time”

If you are curious as to whether or not there were at least 100 diet tips to pass along—Health has put them together for you in a pretty little package. (Some are really helpful!)

 

 

“One-Click Cures”

Loved this! Here we have seven ways on how to find usable information online when it comes to your health.

 

 


 

"The Whole Story About Sugar"

I have been cutting back on my sugar use these last few weeks and can totally feel the difference in my overall health and my energy levels. This was a really interesting article for me to check out because Health covers both the “natural’ sugars plus the newest substitutes on the market.

 

 

 

"Skip Dessert? Not a Chance!”

For the last month I have been avoiding sweets & treats and now I have to see a picture of this Chocolate Pudding Pie? Oh my my….

 

 

 

"8 Under 80 Calories"

Those sweet & spicy pumpkin seeds (top left corner) are making me CRAZY! (In a good way.)

 

 

 
 And now the rest of the best of this issue of Health:

• “Your Top Complexion Complaints—Solved” I love my beauty stories and this one hits my sweet spot.
• “Fear No Flu!” This reminds me I need to get my next flu shot…
• "The Grown-Ups Guide to Birth Control” Wouldn’t it be nice if more politicians realized that they are insulting adult women when they try to minimize the importance of reproductive health?
• "Your Teeth; A User’s Guide” After spending over $5000 in root canal treatments this past year I can tell you personally that you should ALWAYS make sure to take care of your teeth. Really.  
• “Let Us Life You Up!” A guide on how to handle the body parts that want to go south for the winter and stay there.

 

Follow Heath online at: www.Health.com  

 

Overall Grade: 

B A smart magazine and I enjoyed reading the November issue but where are my workout pages?

 

Have you read the November Health? What did you think of it?  What was your favorite article?
