If you're going gluten-free, giving up some of your favorite foods is downright unfair and intimidating (and if your kids are the ones who have celiac disease or gluten intolerance, it can be even more difficult!). The good news is that giving up gluten doesn't mean saying good-bye to all the comforting foods you love—and Jilly and Jessie Lagasse are here to prove it. From breakfasts and lunches to appetizers, mains, and of course, scrumptious desserts—with dairy-free options as well—Jilly and Jessie make gluten-free eating simple and extraordinarily delicious.

Monica and Marco Castaneda met at a health food restaurant where they often ate lunch. This health food restaurant was part of a school called the Art of Living, and offered classes in healthy food preparations, as well as a healthy lifestyle that regarded physical, emotional and mental nutrition as essential aspects of a healthy life. During their time participating in the events organized by this school they saw many people heal from a number of health conditions, while making no other changes than in their nutrition. Marco was born in the United States, and Monica in Ecuador, South America. The Art of Living School was in Quito, Ecuador. When they moved to live in the United States as a young married couple, even though they knew well “how to eat” within a culture that holds cooking and family meals as a high cultural value, it was hard to translate those values for the United States, where most people seemed to be overworked and stressed out, and where eating “junk” foods was becoming the norm. After almost two decades of living together in the United States, Marco and Monica decided to write a book to share how they have managed to eat in order to be healthy in this country – even with the challenges of busier lifestyles and seemingly less time to prepare healthy foods. Their conclusions about nutrition can be summarized in four “R” words: Remove Replace Reduce Replenish This book is not about lecturing people into eating in any particular way, but rather it is a comprehensive guide that helps people see where they are on their path to healthy eating, and then make the small changes that lead to improvement.

Mika Brzezinski is at war against obesity. On Morning Joe, she is often so adamant about improving America’s eating habits that some people have dubbed her “the food Nazi.” What they don’t know is that Mika wages a personal fight against unhealthy eating habits every day, and in this book she describes her history of food obsession and distorted body image, and her lifelong struggle to be thin. She believes it’s time we all learned to stop blaming ourselves, and each other, and look at the real culprits—the food we eat and our addiction to it. Mika feels the only way to do this is to break through the walls of silence and shame we’ve built around obesity and food obsessions. She believes we need to talk openly about how our country became overweight, and what we can do to turn the corner and step firmly onto the path of health. So Mika made a deal with her very close friend Diane: they would work together on this book and on their personal goals, to help Diane drop 75 pounds and to break Mika’s obsession with staying superthin. As she did in her bestseller Knowing YourValue, Mika has packed each chapter with insights from notable people in medicine, health, business, the arts, and politics. Singer Jennifer Hudson, the late writer and director Nora Ephron, TV host Gayle King, New Jersey governor Chris Christie, and many others open up to Mika about their own challenges and what works for them when it comes to food and diet. It’s time we stopped whispering the F-word (“fat”) the way we used to shun the C-word (“cancer”). This book—with its trademark Brzezinski smarts, honesty, and courage—launches us into a no-holds-barred conversation with family and friends, in schools and kitchens, in Congress and the food industry, to help us all find ways to tackle one of the biggest problems standing between us and a healthier America.
