Blog Title: Skinny Taste
Blog Address: http://www.skinnytaste.com/
This blog lives up to its motto, "delicious low fat recipes from my family to yours". The recipes provided are healthy, low in fat content and family friendly. These dishes are not too exotic or foreign, just common home dishes just relatively healthier than most recipes in cookbooks, suiting the tastebuds of the young and the old of a family. Recipes include dishes such as "zucchini lasagna" and "baked chicken parmesan" and not just main courses, but deserts as well such as "pumpkin nut muffin", providing a full nutriention filled meal for a family.
Apart from a wide variety of beneficial recipes and dish ideas, along with the recipes, this blog provides the author's own personal experience while cooking the dish, giving timely advice for readers who want a try at the dish. This gives the reader a better view of what the dish would turn out to be and procedures to take note when cooking the dish for it to taste the best. For instance, her describes her first try, "The first time I made this, I didn't grill the zucchini first, but there was a
lot of liquid so I found grilling it first greatly improved it. I soaked up as
much of the liquid as I could with paper towels before layering the ingredients", to advice readers to grill zucchini and provides the readers with her insights for future improvement, "I think the next time I make this, I'll try it with turkey sausage in place of
the ground beef, I bet it will be spectacular! She includes photos of her cooking process as well for readers to compare their work with hers. This increases the credibility of the recipe such that it is actually feasible as the author has tried it out on her own and is not just a recipe out of imagination.
On a side note, this blog is user friendly, with ask boxes for readers to post their questions, from nutrition issues to cooking issues and offers recommended links to other similiar recipes or all time favourite recipes from a recipe the reader seem to take interest in, rather than putting readers through the chore of searching for their desired recipe.
All in all, I recommend this blog to mothers (especially career mums) who find it almot impossible to think up of new dishes which benefits the family on a whole. Very family related and user-friendly for busy working mothers!
