It's here! My newest cookbook (and my second sweets cookbook), Lauren Fit Foodie Cookies, Brownies, Blondies, and Bars, has arrived! Just like the title suggests, this cookbook is filled with all kinds of cookies, brownies, blondies, and bar recipes!
Each recipe is a lightened-up and healthier than its traditional version—but don't let that scare you. I promise, NONE of these recipes sacrifice ANY delicious taste! It was incredibly important to me to fill this cookbook with delicious dessert recipes that the whole family would love (even those picky eaters), but made healthier so you can feel good about eating them. After all, sweets ARE a necessity!
Regardless of what your health and fitness goals may be, I am firm believer in incorporating food you LOVE. In my opinion, it's one of the most important parts of any diet. Not only does it help with adherence because there is no "cheating" when you are including things you love, but it also helps get your head out of the restriction mindset of "I can't have this cookie or those delicious brownies my family is eating." YES you most definitely can! You can have dessert every day and after every meal with the desserts in this cookbook if you wanted to! Technically speaking, you can have any kind of dessert and still stay on track, but with these lightened-up and healthier options, you can have more. Why have one real brownie for 300 calories when you could have 3 lightened-up brownies for 300 calories? 🙌🏼
