Mediterranean is my hands-down favorite cuisine. It just feels healthy in my body, and it’s delicious too! Definitely going to check out this cookbook. Thanks for sharing!
Agreed! :] I hope you like it if you end up getting it! :]
Wow! These recipes look great…just really, whole foods. Thanks for the review.
The best kind of food. :]! Thanks for stopping by!
I can’t have gluten, and I don’t eat tons of dairy, but besides that, I’m just trying to find ways to add more veggies to my diet. I really dislike so many of them. LOL
