If you’re a fan of “The Real Housewives of New York City,” then you know Bethenny Frankel. She’s not only a reality TV girl, though — she’s also a celebrity natural food chef, columnist for Health magazine and best-selling author.
First came Bethenny’s book “Naturally Thin,” detailing 10 real-life rules for escaping a lifetime of dieting, and now she’s written “The Skinnygirl Dish: Easy Recipes for Your Naturally Thin Life.” This is where she shares fast, practical and economical healthy recipes, then teaches us how to live without them. How perfect for those of us — like moms of busy little boys — trying to live cleaner lives in less time!
Bethenny also dishes on how we can minimize the “cooking noise” in our lives. Keep reading for some inspirational nuggets — and for the scoop on how to win one of her books.
- Do you hear yourself saying any of these things: I have no food in this house. I don’t have the slightest idea what to make for dinner. There is nothing to eat! I don’t know how to cook. That’s “cooking noise,” and you can stop it, and you can learn to feed yourself without stressing about it.
- Food is one of the most powerful tools you have for building a healthy body and a calm mind. Food can make you strong or weak, energized or depleted, skinny or fat. You are what you eat — it’s true.
- Being naturally thin is a practice — you will never be perfect (no one is), but you can choose a healthy path and keep plugging along on it.
- Recipes are a bit like kindergarten. You learn some basics (how do Whole Grain Blueberry Pancakes, a Healthier Cobb Salad and Oatmeal Raisin Cookies sound?), then you gain the confidence to branch out on your own. When you know how to cook, you won’t need recipes anymore.

I always feel like I don’t have the slightest idea what to cook for dinner so this would be perfect for me! I’d love to learn some basic and healthy recipes that I can use as a basis for future recipes too. I don’t mind cooking but I don’t like how I’m always glued to a cookbook to pull off a decent dinner.
We are trying to eat heathier in my house, I would love a copy of this!

I would love this book to help me with my new lifestyle to get rid of this Breast Cancer weight and never see it (or BC again – twice is enough right!?!?!)! Having just gone through my tram flap reconstruction, I have a flat belly and nice perky new boobs – both of which I want to keep that way! Once I can start running again, this book could help me help my husband go from making gourmet (but fattening!) meals to skinny, healthy meals!
Eating healthy is my goal for my family–it doesn’t always work that way though. This book might help us get on the right path to eating healthy all the time. Oh, and Bethenny is my fav on the Real Housewives of NY. I remember her on the Martha Stewart version of the apprentice! She is a reality queen!
Thanks for the sharing! Your blogpost really assisted me.
