As some people may know, I have recently had a run with some health issues, one being gastritis, or inflammation of the stomach lining. This issue can be caused by many things, some of those being stress, greasy foods, excessive vomiting, or even certain medications. The thing that doctors usually tell you to do first to try and control it (beside heartburn medicine) is to eat the world's most bland, boring diet. While I wasn't too excited about this, I definitely didn't want to go through another bout of inflammation, seeing as how it felt like I was having an hour-long contraction... So I decided to go with the bland diet. In my search, I found that I was able to choose and review "The Blender Girl", a recipe book by Tess Masters with 100 gluten-free, vegan recipes inside. I was excited when I got the book, and set to work perusing the recipes right away. I was a bit disappointed in what I found; while the recipes sounded good, many of the ingredients involved were foreign to me. And the ones I did recognize were a bit pricey!
The recipes I did make were pretty tasty, and fit the bill when it came to my bland die -- Tess Masters did a good job at making 'boring' food delicious, and it was a good feeling knowing that I was feeding my body healthy options instead of sugar and dyes. The recipes are easy to follow, and I also enjoyed the amount of pictures in the book -- that always helps in choosing a recipe to make!

I received this book for free from Blogging For Books for this review.
