If you haven't already heard, Whole Living's very first cookbook just debuted. Power Foods is a great resource to have in your culinary arsenal as you dive into the new year with even healthier habits!
For the book, our editors compiled a food-minded set of the Ten Commandments, aptly called "the golden rules" for wholesome eating, and what I like to think of as the blueprint of the recipes we provide readers in every issue. The rule I'm particularly striving to follow this year?
Number 4: Think of fruits and vegetables in terms of the rainbow.
Why? Because you can always use another serving of vegetables! (And I certainly forget to meet the daily serving suggestion from time to time.)
After memorizing the "rules," work your way through the 150 delicious, good-for-you recipes and get a refresher on the 38 best foods to eat. Last night, I cooked the Soba Noodle, Tofu, and Vegetable Stir-Fry (pictured below) for my girlfriends and it was an absolute hit.
The recipe calls for soba noodles made of buckwheat flour, which are filled with protein and fiber and gluten-free. Almond butter replaces peanut (a traditional sauce base for stir-fries) for a rich flavor. So tasty--and makes for great leftovers for lunch.
Want a sneak peek? Check out our gallery of Winter Power-Foods tips and recipes from the book; at the end of the gallery, there's even a link to print a copy of the Golden Rules.

I just ordered the book and got it yesterday. I spent last night reading and reviewing the recipes. I love the information about the different power foods it isn't overwelming and it's easy to follow. I copied the Golden Rules and placed it on my fridge.

I have really enjoyed the recipe samplers included in the 28-day Challenge. Enough so that I have already purchased the cookbook.
Question. Will all the recipes be available online so cooks can comment and provide suggestions to the recipes and easily create shopping lists like we can do with the 28-day challenge recipes?

Hi Sunny, yes, the book is available in booksellers across the country.
