     Healthy Meal Planning: 30 day Meal Prep Cookbook. Easy and Healthy Low Carb Recipes for Weight Loss...(Recipes for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Post-Workout). This book aims to help you with your weight loss plan. 
      
    When you are ready to begin changing your nutrition around, one amongst the most effective ways to get a strong handle, this is to try a new healthy meal weekly at home. Once you are attempting to vary your nutrition to eat in a lot of healthy manners, it is essential you break out of your routine. One amongst the most causes for excessive weight gain is because of the food decisions made daily. 
      
    If you frequently visit fast food spots, restaurants, or order home dish delivery, then you may probably consistently have problems trying to tackle the weight loss issue since those meals typically provide far overlarge of potions for one single meal. 
      
    The best part about trying a new healthy meal weekly is that you will designate one specific day where you and your family attempt a new recipe. Perhaps give the day a special name too if you've got young kids like "Healthy Wednesday," or "Friday Family Dinner Night." 
      
    To taking a step further, you can even rotate the choice, so everybody gets to research and choose the meal that appears most appealing to them, so everybody feels a part of this healthy life transition.

    Manly Meals and Mom's Home...

    A study of what American cookbooks from the 1790s to the 1960s can show us about gender roles, food, and culture of their time. 
     
    From the first edition of The Fannie Farmer Cookbook to the latest works by today’s celebrity chefs, cookbooks reflect more than just passing culinary fads. As historical artifacts, they offer a unique perspective on the cultures that produced them. In Manly Meals and Mom’s Home Cooking, Jessamyn Neuhaus offers a perceptive and piquant analysis of the tone and content of American cookbooks published between the 1790s and the 1960s, adroitly uncovering the cultural assumptions and anxieties—particularly about women and domesticity—they contain. 
     
    Neuhaus’s in-depth survey of these cookbooks questions the supposedly straightforward lessons about food preparation they imparted. While she finds that cookbooks aimed to make readers—mainly white, middle-class women—into effective, modern-age homemakers who saw joy, not drudgery, in their domestic tasks, she notes that the phenomenal popularity of Peg Bracken’s 1960 cookbook, The I Hate to Cook Book, attests to the limitations of this kind of indoctrination. At the same time, she explores the proliferation of bachelor cookbooks aimed at “the man in the kitchen” and the biases they display about male and female abilities, tastes, and responsibilities. 
     
    Neuhaus also addresses the impact of World War II rationing on homefront cuisine; the introduction of new culinary technologies, gourmet sensibilities, and ethnic foods into American kitchens; and developments in the cookbook industry since the 1960s. More than a history of the cookbook, Manly Meals and Mom’s Home Cooking provides an absorbing and enlightening account of gender and food in modern America. 
     
    “An engaging analysis . . . Neuhaus provides a rich and well-researched cultural history of American gender roles through her clever use of cookbooks.” —Sarah Eppler Janda, History: Reviews of New Books 
     
    “With sound scholarship and a focus on prescriptive food literature, Manly Meals makes an original and useful contribution to our understanding of how gender roles are institutionalized and perpetuated.” —Warren Belasco, senior editor of The Oxford Encyclopedia of American Food and Drink 
     
    “An excellent addition to the history of women’s roles in America, as well as to the history of cookbooks.” —Choice
