Meet Susan Greeley Author of Cooking With Trader Joe's: Lighten Up!

Meet Westfield resident Susan Greeley, author of Cooking with Trader Joe’s: Lighten Up!, the latest in the Cooking with Trader Joe’s Cookbook series. Greeley is a registered dietitian of 17 years who has a nutrition consulting practice in Mountainside, NJ. The recipes in her cookbook are focused on using fresh, healthy, convenient ingredients found at Trader Joe's to create delicious meals that help reduce the waistline without feeling deprived.  Recipes are easy to follow, don't require a lot of time or prep -- thanks to Trader Joe's -- and are perfect for either busy families or individuals. Whether you choose to do the "2-Week Challenge" or not, this book offers great recipes and photos to please even finicky eaters. The book also offers many gluten free and vegetarian recipes as well.

Susan Greeley, MS, RD is on a mission to improve Americans’ diets and help individuals achieve optimal health through good nutrition and lifestyle. As the mother of four young boys, Greeley understands the demands of a busy lifestyle, yet she recognizes the need to maintain a consistent, nutritious diet. Having lived in both Europe and South America, she draws on a variety of cultures to provide exciting, new combinations of foods and flavors. Susan takes a simple, fun and light-hearted approach to cooking, food and life.
