Just add Green & Red: Our bible: Crunch Time Cookbook

Michelle Bridges' Crunch Time Cookbook has been our bible since the moment we brought it home. There is absolutely no guilt and only pure satisfaction after any of these meals, and they are so easy to make!! Complete bonus!

Michelle puts it all into perspective and I love the fact that she lets you know exactly how many calories to add when you add that extra bun to that hamburger.

Take a look at the Shepherd's Pie below, the topping is made out of cauliflower florets and the inside a concoction of lentils, mushroom, carrot and diced tomato. No potato or mince whatsoever!
We made this recipe one night when two friends came over and I was mortified when Georgina told me she didn't usually like cauliflower, but absolutely loved the combination with this! Phew! We also made them the ricotta pears (down below) for dessert. They must have loved them because Sarah was soon asking for the recipes (with a reminder the next day - now that's a good sign!)
I bought her the book and she's been sending me her own pictures and favourites ever since.

Eggplant lasagne with no lasagne sheets was another newbie and one that filled the tummy well, as well as the two stir-fry's. Michelle says the Pad Thai is a treat for "a Sunday night" but at 368 calories per serve, it's definitely a far-cry from the one you would order at your local Thai sit-in.

Penguin have posted some amazing videos of Michelle cooking up some of the great recipes in the book. She is definitely an inspiration to us!
