Real Living Nutrition Food Editor- Holly Clegg

About Holly:

Turned off by both diets and diet foods, Holly took her culinary training and experience as a caterer and began to formulate recipes. Her mission? To give cooks the ability to put a delicious, healthy meal on the table in about 30 minutes.  

Holly is the author of the Trim & Terrific series, with her "never sacrifice taste" philosophy remains in tact. Her message is simple: food that is good for you can be delicious and easy to prepare. Holly's reputation for her healthier approach continually garners national media coverage. Holly makes regular local and network television appearance including Fox & Friends and NBC Weekend Today Show. She writes for national food magazines and internet food sites. Holly also serves as the national spokeswoman for Louisiana Sweet Potatoes and has done media spokesperson work for diet coke, Pace Salsa/Campbell's Soup, Nature Sweet Tomatoes, and Salmon of the Americas.

A wife and mother first, Holly understands the challenges of busy families. Her personal experience of running a household of five inspired the subject matter for each of the Trim & Terrific books. Her recipes require familiar ingredients and include easy-to-follow instructions and quick tips; this combination is the main focus of her Trim & Terrific series.

Understanding the demands of the busy person, Holly's latest book, Holly Clegg's Trim & Terrific Freezer Friendly Meals is the perfect addition to her series.  Featuring 200 of her favorite freezable recipes, this book has quickly become the book bible to freezing, answering all the questions about freezing, how long recipes freeze and directions depending on whether you want to serve a meal now or freeze for later.  Cook in advance and just reheat and serve with these new 30-minute trim & terrific recipes.

With the prevalence of diabetes, Holly felt she could make a real difference in the way people with diabetes managed their daily meal plans.  In Holly's new diabetic cookbook with the American Diabetes Association, she includes her popular great tasting trim & terrific recipes tailored to a diabetes meal plan. 

Her easy everyday approach to cooking using pantry friendly ingredients with 30-minute recipes is perfect for the busy person today.  She says, "I understand how important, delicious, healthy eating is to people with diabetes.  I am proud to bring you my new book, Holly Clegg Trim & Terrific Diabetic Cooking, so everyone in your family will be able to enjoy eating fabulous-tasting foods, stay healthy, and--of course--be TRIM & TERRIFIC!"

Holly also coauthors the bestselling cookbook, Eating Well Through Cancer:  Easy Recipes & Recommendations During & After Treatment with oncologist, Gerald Miletello, MD. This book focuses on the foods best tolerated and those that ease the symptoms during cancer treatment. The chapters are divided into the side effects a person experiences during treatment.  This book proves to be one of Holly's most rewarding endeavors; making a difference in someone's life.

Holly Clegg is a Fort Worth, TX native but calls Baton Rouge, Louisiana her home. She is a wife and mother of three children. Holly welcomes your comments and questions.
