This cookbook is full of delicious, unusual, and healthy food. The recipies do require some knowledge of cooking and a restocking of your shelves. I tend to plan the meals for a week, making out the grocery list from the list of ingredients for each meal. Wear your sun glasses for this trip to the grocery store, your basket will be glowing with orange, yellow, red and green items. Stick with using this book exclusively for a month and you will never think the same about food. I found that cooking and eating delicious food to be the best instruction in what constitutes a healthy diet.

Looking for one magic cook book? Simply Healthy seems to have it all. Almost every one of the recipes has turned out to be a winner. Quick prep time too. My wife and I love this book! Watch out for the pasta... its delicious!

This book is wonderful for those interested in low-fat cooking. The first part of the book includes suggested menus for various occasions with recipes included for each item suggested. There are also many other recipes organized according to category. The recipes are easy to follow. I have enjoyed every one I have tried. There are many pictures to let you know what the finished product should be. I highly recommend this book.

I purchased this book for a co-worker who had just been told she had malignant breast cancer, thinking it would be of some comfort to her. It had received great reviews, and it is only 50 pages so I figured it would not be too overwhelming for someone still struggling to deal with such horrible news. To my dismay, it was a book of short, child-like rhyming poems which seemed unlikely to provide any comfort or solace. The only positive thing I can say is that all proceeds from its' sale go to support breast cancer research. Buyer beware.

This is an excellent Monograph.It vividly illustrates the personal concerns and fears associated with confronting Breast Cancer.I would highly reccomend it to a woman who has just been told that she has this disease or to one who faces the ongoing problems that intense therapy can cause.

Someone laid this book on my desk at work. A seemingly slight little book, it couldn't have that much to say. Wrong! It is one of the most powerful books of poetry you will ever read. I am not a breast cancer survivor and yet it touched me so deeply. The author's words drew me into her life as if I was a part of her unfolding process. I have purchased this book for the several friends of mine that are breast cancer survivors. In case you don't know this, all proceeds of this book are going to printing costs and breast cancer research, neither the author nor the photographer are making any profit whatsoever. This book is their gift to life.

This is the first book I've read by Lisa Scottoline and while I'm not a huge fan of legal thrillers, I enjoyed this book. The book is told from the point-of-view of Bennie Rosato, a larger-than-life lawyer who has been dumped personally and professionally by her boyfriend and law partner, Mark. Mark is sleeping with a young associate in the firm and plans to oust her. After a huge fight many of the associates were witness to, Mark is found murdered. Bennie soons learns Mark hadn't changed his will and she is still listed as his main beneficiary. As if that weren't enough to incriminate her, the cops are all to eager to to charge the woman who has won many many police brutality cases against them. Bennie has no one to trust. Anyone from the firm could have killed Mark. Only Grady, a handsome associate in the firm, agrees to represent her. As more bodies are found, Bennie goes into hiding to solve Mark's murder case. The action is fast-paced and the characters jump off the page.

Legal Tender by Lisa Scottoline

LEGAL TENDER is a fast paced legal crime novel, with Benedetta "Bennie" Rosato as our heroine. She's a lawyer, who along with her partner Mark Biscardi, make up the law firm of Rosato and Biscardi. Business is going great. Her love life isn't, on the other hand. Mark, who was once her lover, is now dating one of their junior lawyers, Eve, and although Bennie's angry as hell, she doesn't have anything against Mark. Eve, on the other hand, she does not trust one bit.

Soon, there is trouble at the office. Mark informs her that he is planning on starting over by forming a brand new law firm, leaving Rosato and Biscardi behind. Shortly after their argument, Mark is found dead in his office, and because he has named Bennie as his main beneficiary, she is the main suspect. Before long, she is on the run and she doesn't know whom she can trust. The law firm's success was bogus, and after much investigating she finds out that Mark had been planning to leave the partnership quite a while ago, bringing Eve along with him.

Mark isn't the only one found dead. Soon, there are others, and Bennie knows that the deaths are all connected. Could they all have something to do with a case she had been working on? It was hard to tell. But as the newspaper headlines blare out her name on the front page, she finds that she is having a hard time coming out of hiding and returning to a normal life.

With the help of Grady, another lawyer from the law firm, she does a lot of researching and investigating, and slowly learns the truth of why Mark and all the others had been murdered.

I'm not a big fan of legal crime dramas, but I did enjoy LEGAL TENDER. I've read other crime novels, and found this one relatively easy to follow. It was fast paced and it took me only a few days to read it. I did feel that a lot of the plot was predictable, but this didn't detract from my enjoyment of the book. It only helped to make the book go that much faster. I would highly recommend it, but do not think the typical fan of legal crime dramas would enjoy it as much.

Lisa Scottoline is a writer that pulls you in immediately and I promise you that you won't put down any one of her books unless you absolutely have to. Legal Tender introduces the character "Bennie" Bendedetta Rosato. Bennie is accused of murdering her ex-lover in this fast-paced legal thriller and as the plot thickens you are unable to tear yourself away from this book. All of Scottoline's books are absorbing and as soon as I finished reading this one I went out and bought all of them. Often I buy several books of the same author and they get boring and repetive but not so with her, its a surprise every time. She's been compared to Grisham but my opinion is she is even better!!! Don't miss Legal Tender or any of her books, you won't be disappointed!

For those who don't know the Happy Mondays, Black Grape, or anything about Shaun William Ryder, this is not the place to start. You have to hear the sound to understand anything about Shaun or the Mondays. It makes no difference that this is the story of a modern day music hedonist who could have laid waste to the wild reputations of scores of better known musicians if only they had ever gone toe to toe. What makes this book, and Shaun Ryder, fascinating is that it affords you a glimpse into the mind of soemone who doesn't fit into society, someone who sticks out on a scale so epic it is seen perhaps only a few times in a generation. This is a look at the life of a consummate outsider, whose excesses and lust for life made the whole world want to be an outsider too,if only for a little while. For those among you who may be looking for a few of the many gems unearthed from Shaun's garbled speaking voice over the years there is not much here; the story of Shaun's life is mainly told by observers, accomplices, and unwitting souls dragged along in his wake. This, however, is fitting, because I don't think any amount of explanation from him or from anybody else will ever afford us even a glimpse of understanding as to what it means to live inside the head of Shaun Ryder.
