You got this! Contents Introduction
If you havent noticed by now, over at Six Sisters Stuff we love food. We love that it brings people together, helps build lasting memories, andof coursetastes delicious . We have been wanting to write a healthier cookbook for years, and when the opportunity arose, we jumped at the chance. As a complete disclaimer, not one of us has a background in nutrition or dietetics. Weve never studied food science or even attended culinary school! But we do know what its like trying to find healthier recipes for dishes that taste good enough your family will eat them. We also realize that healthy is a completely subjective term and is different for everyone.
For some, that may mean low-carb and high-fat; for others, it will be very little dairy and no gluten. For us, we believe that all foods are best in moderation. When putting together this cookbook, we tried to keep the ingredients as minimally processed as possible, avoid pre-packaged foods and seasonings, and reduce sugars where we could. You will find the nutritional information listed for each recipe in this book. Calculated by us, each recipe is under 500 calories. However, nutritional information can varyeven depending on the brand of a certain ingredient you use.
The nutritional information should be considered more of a guideline to help you meet your personal nutritional goals. So whether youre looking to lose weight, feed your family less-processed foods, or just maintain a more balanced lifestyle, we hope you find recipes here that your whole family will enjoy for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert. As always, thank you for purchasing our cookbooks and making our dreams a reality. None of this would be possible without all of you. From all six of us to you, welcome to the sisterhood.
