Every year we feel a renewed interest in making our year a healthier one; we have goals for bumping up our exercise regimen and curtailing our foodie indulgences. Yet, despite our healthy desires, it’s so easy to find ourselves right back where we were the year before, stuck with our less than healthy habits.
Changing our habits is hard, and making healthier choices is even harder, so how can you have a healthier year that will really stick this time and not stay trapped on a Pinterest board of healthy recipes?
It might seem simple, but investing in cookbooks you’ll really want to use will help give you the push you need to make real moves towards a healthier year. By investing in a tangible item you’ll use in achieving your goals of healthy eating, you’re taking the first real step that makes the next steps possible. Plus, when the healthy recipes you make are delicious, it makes the change to healthy eating that much easier.
Anybody can put a recipe online, but publishing a cookbook means those recipes have been vetted for quality. Check out these brilliant cookbooks that will set you on the path to a healthy year.
