Kimber Reese first knew she wanted to be healthy at age seventeen. She was brought up in a family that consumed a lot of fast foods, frozen meals, and processed foods that lasted forever in the pantry. When she decided she wanted to live a healthier lifestyle she had no one to direct or educate her. The first things to go were soda and fast food. Gradually she learned what to eliminate from her diet and what worked for her body. Enjoy innovative and flavorful breakfasts, entrees, side dishes and desserts, even natural and guilt-free chocolate recipes, all free of gluten, processed sugar, butter, corn, canola oil and soy and many recipes are vegetarian or vegan. "I wanted to share my knowledge of cooking, baking and nutrition that fostered the way I eat. I wanted to create a cookbook that was true to the way I eat, which I believe can help people with health issues, allergies and the effort to lose weight. My goal with the Happy Food Cookbook is to educate people in anyway I can to help them eat healthier delicious food without the guilt or negative affects of processed foods."
