Dieting by the Book
There are plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, and omnivores can benefit from a meatless dish once in awhile, too. Unique offerings include Neo Soul, a book that offers traditional soul food recipes without all the fat, salt and calories. The beauty of a new recipe is the new discoveries you'll make about seasonings and techniques you can apply to other dishes. Surf the Web for meals that appeal to your tastes. Peruse magazines for new ideas. There are a wealth of resources out there loaded with healthy variations of traditional favorites or meals you've never even tried.
