Turned off by both diets and tasteless foods, Holly's mission is to give cooks
the ability to put a delicious, healthier meal on the table in a time-friendly
manner.
As Holly adds cookbooks to her trim&TERRIFIC series, her "never sacrifice
taste" philosophy remains intact. 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 has made her fast,
flavorful and healthy meals on network television shows including and Fox &
Friends, NBC Weekend Today Show, The 700 Club, and D-Life on CNBC as well as
major local markets nationwide.  She writes for national food magazines and
Internet food sites. As well as a keynote speaker, 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. Holly was featured in a national
Teflon/DuPont nonstick ad campaign with her Trim & Terrific recipes in full page
ads in national magazines including People, Self, Real Simple, Ladies Home
Journal, Bon Appetit, USA Today, plus many more.
A wife and mother first, Holly understands the challenges of the busy person. 
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.
Holly personally tests all of her recipes in her home and as a result, has
three avid cooks. "Children love to cook, and if you include them, you can make
positive, lasting impressions," Holly said. Based on her experience, Holly
included a Kid's In The Kitchen Chapter filled with fun, delicious recipes in
The New Holly Clegg trim&TERRIFIC Cookbook and has the newly released KIDS
COOKING for Mommies.  If you're wondering if you can really make a healthy
impression on kids, Holly has proof. "My youngest child did not have a fast food
hamburger until she was 15 years old, and it wasn't because I didn't allow it. I
didn't have to pick up fast food for my children because I knew I could get
something on the table in 30 minutes."
Also, a big thank you to David Humphreys (www.fabphotos.com) as he is the
talented photographer of many of the recipes.
