Feast Cookbook is Here!

January 25, 2016 By Gwen Brown 32 Comments

the Feast cookbook is all about enjoying healthy traditional dishes that are GF/Sugar free/carb smart and THM friendly!It’s here! I couldn’t be more excited.

Last year I realized that as much as I’m committed to eating healthy and staying sugar free and carb smart with my meal choices (and my Trim Healthy Mama lifestyle), that I was giving myself permission to cheat over the holiday season FAR too frequently. I hate losing traction over enjoying food, since there are SO many amazing things that I have learned to make that DO fit my new way of eating.

There HAD to be a way to enjoy traditional holiday dishes in healthier ways. It became my passion to put together a collection of dishes that would make my family and friends swoon, and never suspect that they were enjoying a sugar free, gluten free, and carb smart meal.the Feast cookbook is all about enjoying healthy traditional dishes that are GF/Sugar free/carb smart and THM friendly!

I thought that you, like me, might also be trying to find a balance between delicious holiday foods and healthy eating. And the concept for my first cookbook, Feast, was born.

A Peek Inside

Feast contains 28 delectable holiday recipes, each with a full page color photo, detailed instructions, and handy tips. The collection this year features traditional dishes: the perfect roast turkey, cornbread dressing, macaroni and cheese, and pumpkin pie. But you’ll also find new family favorites, and classics infused with the flavors of caramel and maple.

Every recipe is tested and approved by my family, and they all work with my Trim Healthy Mama lifestyle. You can see the THM meal types that go with each recipe here.Trim Healthy Mama Recipe Types Chart

I’ve even included our favorite beverages, sauces and gravies, and a holiday activity that we do each year with the kids.the Feast cookbook is all about enjoying healthy traditional dishes that are GF/Sugar free/carb smart and THM friendly!Buy NowPutting together the recipes and photos in the book was in itself a reward, and holding it in my hands for the first time was such a thrill!

What My Readers Are Saying About Feast

It’s kind of amazing to see a project like this finally come full circle. But the real delight for me is hearing how others are enjoying the recipes.

Just wanted to let you know, Gwen, that all of your recipes were a hit! Hubby said it was the best Thanksgiving meal he could remember & he is not a THM follower- he likes his unhealthy carbs, so I consider it a huge success! Thanks so much for putting these recipes together.
~Samantha C.

I love your recipes in this! Thanksgiving was a success with many of your recipes!!! ~Becky Y.

Gwen, just wanted to let you know how beautiful your cookbook is, well worth the wait!! Thanks for sharing your THM knowledge, it’s a big help. Looking forward to your next book!!
~Pam W.the Feast cookbook is all about enjoying healthy traditional dishes that are GF/Sugar free/carb smart and THM friendly!

Love my new book, Gwen!! Excellent presentation! Looking forward to cooking these recipes.
~Jessica H.

Honestly I love it! The quality is fantastic for a self published book. I’ve collected many self published over the years, there are some that the book quality is terrible. I am going to be making the whole cranberry sauce tonight! ~Sarah V.

The cornbread is awesome and hubby approved…I was very impressed as a country grown TX cornbread eating gal.
~Kathy M.the Feast cookbook is all about enjoying healthy traditional dishes that are GF/Sugar free/carb smart and THM friendly!

“I made the caramel sauce from your cookbook today. Oh my! It is delectable! If anyone want to be slightly obsessed, give it a try.”

      Hi Crystal,
      I’m really sorry! A few others have had this issue. CreateSpace, a division of Amazon, is handling all of the orders and distribution, so I don’t have access to any of it to check it out, but you can email their support desk at https://www.createspace.com/support to confirm whether or not your order went through. 🙂

      Absolutely, Denise! The post office seems to have lost a number of our packages, and since a majority were Media Mail, they cannot be tracked. Please email me at gwens.nest.blog@gmail.com, and we’ll get you taken care of. I’m so sorry for your long wait!

        Hi. As requested, I sent an e-mail on January 30th providing the details of my cookbook order. I did not receive the book or a response. I sent a follow up e-mail (marked urgent) on February 25th…still no book or response. Please help to resolve this or cancel my order and provide a refund. Thanks in advance.

    I received my Feast book today in the mail. It is absolutely gorgeous.

    But….pages 33-36 are totally missing from the book. Is there any way I can get these?

    Thank you so much.

    Hi Gwen. I just bought your cookbook and it came today! Yay! Can’t wait to dig in. I’m THM and so excited. The front says fall/winter 2015-2016. So are there other volumes from different years or seasons that I can buy? Thank you.

      It’s my hope to do more. This was my first book, and I learned SO much…in the future it will have fewer color photos, and more recipes to keep the cost down. 🙂
