What Readers Are Saying

Reviews from Amazon

A Path to "Well"

November 1, 2026 — Dorothy Lamb

"Because of recent health challenges, I eagerly awaited the publication of this book. It has not disappointed! How wonderful it is to have this narrative and these recipes available. I have ordered 4 for Christmas presents. What better gift is there than the gift of the hope of restored health made possible by the purity of recipes created by the author herself on her own path to "well"?"

If you are not ready to give up on the savory treats!

November 1, 2026 — Angeline Long

"This book is more than a labor of love! It is a reflection of what we all can face as our body ages and yet we just don't want to give up the savory parts of life. Lisa brings the best of the best…..just without added salt and sugar ! Oysters? Desserts? Thanks for your amazing work and book!"

Stop paying dollars for protein bars! Make these.

November 1, 2026 — Marcel & Elizabeth Assink

"Stop paying dollars for protein bars! I made Lisa's no sugar added peanut chocolate balls. Not only can I not tell they don't have sugar but they are more than half the cost. I was paying sixty percent more for a protein bar with the same ingredients. Always good to talk to a real survivor!"

Must Read

"I am not a diabetic nor a breast cancer survivor, but this is a must read. It has made me more grateful for my health, and more apt to eat (and cook) well. Thank you Lisa for sharing your journey."

An important book

October 30, 2026 — Michael Rappaport

"A wonderful book, and how many of these types of books can you say was not just written or cooked by the author but also lived? You will never regret buying this book and you should buy at least one more for a needful friend."

Eat your way to surviving the delicious way!
