Staff Pick
Award-winning celebrity chef (and Dancing With the Stars contestant) Rocco DiSpirito has stuffed this cookbook with health-conscious meals. While some are traditional recipes with the gluten, dairy, and refined sugar removed, others are a little mind-bending. There is Protein Pasta — made with absolutely no flour. Microwave Buckwheat Bread that cooks in your coffee cup and then turns into a Breakfast Reuben — awesome. Also, Snickerdoodle Protein Balls. Most of the book's recipes are plant-based, but there are some scattered meat recipes like Espresso Meatloaf, meaning there's a little something healthy for everyone.
