  Acknowledgments

  Even though this book is filled with SIMPLE recipes, it was anything but easy to put together. The following people deserve credit, along with me, for helping put it together and for helping to make Hungry Girl so successful:

  To the HG Editorial & Production Staff…

  Jamie Goldberg—You bleed PINK. Your endless hard work and dedication to Hungry Girl are appreciated more than any existing words can express. I’m toying with the idea of making some up (or just choreographing an expressive interpretive dance). Thank you times infinity.

  Alison Kreuch—Thank you for being you. You’re a bundle of energy and pretty much the Tasmanian Devil of the marketing & advertising world. (And I truly mean that in the best way possible.)

  Lynn Bettencourt—You’ve been a tremendous asset to HG for more than three years now. Hope there are many more to come. Oh, and…CHICKEN!!!

  Lisa Friedman—Friedman, you’re solid. And super-reliable. Thank you for ALWAYS being levelheaded, organized, and super-duper-nice.

  Dana DeRuyck—You are AWESOME and talented and incredibly valued. Your energy always brightens up the HG HQ. You rule!

  Callie Pegadiotes—We’re glad you found us in San Diego. LOVE having you as part of the team. Thank you for everything you do.

  Jennifer Curtis—You STILL live too far away. Would you move already so you can work with us full-time? Pretty please…with Fat Free Reddi-wip on top?!

  Lisa Foiles—You’re a Photoshop whiz. Thanks for making our emails beauteous and for the super-fast, fantastic work. Wish you were here with us in L.A.

  Adam Feinsilver—You’re a video guru. Plain and simple. Thanks for bringing HG to life on the monitor. And for the silly fun at the office.

  Special thanks to Elizabeth Hodson—It was extremely sad to lose you (the FIRST HG employee) as an official HG staffer in 2009. We miss you. You know you ALWAYS have an open invite to come back. Thank you for staying on as the official HG book designer and for helping to make this book our most adorable, gorgeous, and DELICIOUS one yet.

  More Thank-Yous…

  John Vaccaro—You continue to be an invaluable asset to Hungry Girl, but more importantly, you’re also an irreplaceable friend.

  Neeti Madan—I used to say you’re the best agent on the planet, but at this point I am pretty sure you rule the entire galaxy. Thank you.

  Matthew Shear and Jennifer Enderlin—I am the luckiest author to have you both. I sincerely hope we work together forever…

  John Karle—You’re an awesome publicist. We’re in year three and going strong! Lots more fun to come…Thank you, thank you!

  Anne Marie Tallberg—You’re amazing and so much fun to work with. And you never get frazzled. (How is that possible?)

  John Murphy—We don’t work together as much as I’d like, but I love you anyway. (Air kisses…both sides!)

  Advisors and Friends…

  Tom Fineman—You’re the world’s most effective and likable attorney. Hands down.

  Jeff Becker—I know you hate guilt-free food. But I still enjoy you. Thanks for all the advice and guidance.

  Bill Stankey—Thank you for appreciating the things about me that should make you want to strangle me. Truly.

  But Wait, There’s More…

  Huge thanks to Jack Pullan, David Witt, and to Nanci Dixon and the amazing General Mills photography crew. Without you guys, the book wouldn’t have pretty pictures and fantastic illustrations. And to Val Pensky, for all the tour support and for being the best travel companion. To Gary Stromberg, for all of the INSANELY awesome stuff. To Eileen Opatut, for being super-smart and fun to work with. And to Pete Austria, for making me lift heavy objects from time to time.

  The BIG Finish…

  Thanks also to my amazing mom and dad, Florence and Maurice Lillien, for making me super-hungry. And to Meri Lillien, Jay Lillien, and to the Lillien and Schneider families—Love you all.

  To Jackson—Thank you for keeping me warm while I email at 6am. You’re a lovely beast. To my close personal pals, the Hungry Girl subscribers—YOU TRULY ROCK. All 1,000,000 of you. Thank you!!!!!

  And to my husband, Daniel Schneider—Thank you for always being there and for always being right. About pretty much everything. And also for continuing to make me laugh louder and harder every year. I LOVE YOU.

  The 411 on HG 1-2-3…

  Welcome to Hungry Girl 1-2-3: The Easiest, Most Delicious, Guilt-Free Recipes on the Planet. This is the THIRD HG cookbook and I LOVE it. I’m pretty sure you will, too. Why? Well, like our other books, it’s PACKED with great recipes for fantastic-tasting foods that are low in calories and fat grams. But this book is different, in some ways, and quite possibly the best of the bunch. (I hope we always keep getting better and better!) Here are the key things that make this book super-amazing and SO EASY to use…and, um, some other relevant stuff as well!

  1. There are more fresh fruits, veggies, and lean protein in the recipes than ever before.

  We listened, and they’re all here.

  2. Fast and easy recipes.

  The name says it all. It’s not like Hungry Girl recipes are ever THAT complicated—you know this. But the recipes in this book are crazy-simple to make. Like, easier than any other recipes anywhere. Really. There are entire chapters devoted to microwavable recipes, recipes with four ingredients or less, and recipes that require no cooking whatsoever!

  3. So many meals!!!

  In 200 Under 200, we loaded you up on snacks. This time around, there’s more of a focus on entrées. DELICIOUS ones.

  4. New recipe format.

  We decided it was time to make the leap. Now the ingredients are listed in the order they’re used, and each recipe starts off by listing some kitchen essentials along with the approximate prep and cook times. There are also lots of useful tips, plus notes on recipes that call for a common ingredient or two, so opened products don’t have to go to waste. Soooooo helpful!

  5. Your crock-pot prayers have been answered.

  You asked for more, and now you’ve got �
��em. There’s an entire chapter devoted to crock-pot recipes. Party time!

  6. Foil-pack recipes GALORE.

  Wrapping stuff in foil and baking it couldn’t be easier. Our foil-pack recipes have become so popular, I thought it would be great to include a full chapter of them…so I did. There are even easy-to-follow instructions for adapting these recipes to be made on the grill. Yay!

  7. Couples.

  Our two-ingredient recipes have become so beloved, I wanted to carve out an entire section of the book for them. And that’s what I did. There are more than 60 food duos here!

  8. Photos and POINTS®.

  As always, photos for every single recipe in this book along with Weight Watchers POINTS® values* can be found at hungry-girl.com/book.

  Happy chewing!!!!

  Lisa :)
