Every Wednesday, Susan Pierce Thompson, the founder of Bright Line Eating , puts out a weekly video blog. I’ll link to it below if you want to watch it. The topic for the week was the place of Bright Line Eating recipes within the food plan. This really piqued my interest. In this prior post, I talked about how I’m learning to break away from the cookbook mentality but I started reflecting even more on this topic as a result of the vlog. This is an important topic and it warrants a bit more time and energy, hence this post.

I have tried a lot of “diets” and if there was a cookbook available, I at least seriously considered getting it. I think the first I bought was the South Beach Diet followed by the LA Weightloss Cookbook. Several years later, I tried a 7 day intense cleanse and most recently, I bought the Fast Metabolism Diet Cookbook. Also in the mix was a neat book called “How to Cook Without a Book” which I highly recommend if you want to learn to cook more easily.
