Quinoa Tabbouleh + Summer Berry Cobbler from the Skinnytaste Cookbook

I know a lot of you are really excited about The Skinnytaste Cookbook release. Well guess what?, so is Target! So excited in fact that they are carrying my cookbook which is now available for pre-order on Target.com.

The Skinnytaste Cookbook has 150 recipes – 125 of those recipes are brand spanking new and have never been published on my blog. But I gave Target a sneak peak inside the cookbook and shared two exclusive recipes and photos from the book. (photo credit: Penny De Los Santos)

I chose two of my summer favorites so you don't have to wait until September 30th – you can start making them now while the weather's warming up. The Quinoa Tabbouleh tastes so fresh – a perfect summer salad whether you serve this as a main dish or a side dish with grilled chicken or lamb. And this Summer Berry Cobbler – cobbler is my weakness and this is my absolute favorite way to utilize those sweet summer berries.

Did I tease you enough? Well that wasn't my plan... head on over to Target's A Bullseye View and get the full recipes!!!

The Skinnytaste Cookbook: Cover Reveal and an Announcement

A few weeks ago, I asked you guys to help me choose the cover design for the Skinnytaste Cookbook. I was having a really hard time deciding which design I liked best, that's when I decided to turn it over to you guys, and boy did you all come through! Over 12,000+ comments and now I see why I was having such a hard time deciding – the results were pretty close! But once I started tallying the votes, there was a clear winner which also happens to be my favorite. So here it is ((drumroll please))…

 And as of today I'm sooo excited to announce, the book is officially available for preorder from these online sellers:

Target | Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Indiebound 

I know, some of you guys already pre-ordered, thank you for that! I wanted to wait to make it official until the cover design was chosen. The Skinnytaste Cookbook will ship October 21, 2014. 

The cookbook is packed with 150 recipes: 125 all-new dishes and 25 fan favorites.  Everything from breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert with 100 full color photos. All recipes are presented with nutritional facts as well as snippets of helpful nutrition info from registered dietitian Heather K Jones, RD. It's been a true labor of love, and I hope you will all enjoy it!

The Skinnytaste Cookbook: Cover Designs (Help Me Choose!)

After a year of recipe testing, manuscript writing, editing, photo shoots, and everything else that goes into writing a cookbook (and let me tell ya, there is a lot!), I'm SO excited to share three cover designs that (fingers-crossed!) I hope you like as much as I do. But I need your help—I can't decide which one I like best, so I thought it would be fun to let YOU decide!
