Although I live in Canada and a lot of the prices don't apply, the principles do. She has a list of produce that cost under 20 dollars. I haven't priced it out but I'm sure it would be a lot more here, especially during the winter months. And she has a number of chicken recipes and unless I can find a friend to get a chicken from chicken is really expensive and hard to find in our small town store.
I currently do not have an oven and some of the recipes given are baked. I will either have to change these to another recipe or figure out a way to cook the food in a crockpot, on a griddle or in the bbq. The author has done a lot of the work for me. The substitutions will be easy - just a meal here and there. Using her plan I will be able to integrate our favorites with some new ideas presented in her plan!
I love the section on meals to make ahead of time. I really need to do this; she makes it look so easy. The meals to make ahead are easy and enjoyed by my family already. The author focuses on healthy eating and exercise. There is a link to a different food pyramid. I plan to go examine more; a different take that may just "speak my language". There are other charts and lists and helps too. The author has done her research and has an easy to follow plan.
Disclosure: This e-book was graciously sent to me by the author.

Thank you so much, this was a good read. I was actually born in Madrid (I’m not telling you what year though!) but was moved around various parts of europe and finally settled in England when I was 7. I dont remember an awful lot of the few years I was in spain, but the smell of spanish food always seems to ring a bell in me or something. Funny, how I dont remember anything except the smells,isn’t it! I actually found a whole internet site dedicated to spanish recipes, which gave me great delight and thought I really should to share with your readers. Anyway, thank you again. I’ll get my husband to add your website to my rss app…

It’s truly remarkable to me how much I am enjoying your blog. I heard of it from a friend and she was right, this site was definitely worth checking out. Thanks.
