Author Shares Lifestyle and Meal Planning Tips

Chicago author Gigi Verrey, a Chicago north shore
native, shares her unique organizing, cooking, shopping, and meal development system from her book Okay, So I Got Fat, Tuesday, October 2, 7 p.m. But, don’t expect a typical cookbook author event: Verrey’s system is much more.



Calling Okay, So I Got Fat the “one book you need” to get your family on the road to healthy eating, dietician and author of “The DASH Diet Action Plan,” Marla Heller
is a Verrey fan. Event attendees will discover why Heller is so enthusiastic about the book and methodology.



“This is more than a cookbook,” says Susan Dennison, Head of Communications Services for the library, “It’s a change-your-lifestyle book. You can learn time and
task management, how to simplify meal preparation without compromising nutrition and how to prepare healthy meals that even appeal to fussy teens.”

“I have three boys, a busy husband and a fast-paced financial career,” says Verrey. “It was so easy to drive through a fast food place or pick up something
pre-made just to get everyone fed. We gained weight and we weren’t healthy--until I discovered a way to plan, cook, and feed everyone without going crazy. My mission is to spread the word to other homemakers.”


Books will be available for purchase at the event for $15, cash or credit card. Registration is requested by calling 847-279-2232 or online at www.indiantrailslibrary.org.
