Hi Jill, I am in the same situation as you. I use three cookbooks:
The Self-Healing Cookbook by Kristina Turner - great macrobiotic recipes and information on how food effects moods.
The Yeast Connection Cookbook - great for learning how to cook all kinds of vegetables & the recipes are decent. Not as good as the Self-Healing Coookbook, unless you know how to substitute.
The Body Ecology Diet by Donna Gates - excellent book to help heal digestion. It's especially good for people like me, healing my digestion after years of bulimia. Good information & recipes.
I'd be happy to share more information on recipes I've used and liked if you are interested.

Organic foods tend to be higher in nutrients and more healing, which means your body is satisfied with less food. I'm not a proponent of counting calories after having recovered from an eating disorder where counting everything was my obsession. I am now free of counting & have learned to eat what is right for me. I'm still working on this and learning every day -- but breaking free from counting has been the best thing that ever happened to me.
Instead of following everyone else's plan, I have learned to trust my body to guide me. I believe we all can -- and that the media and the hugely profitable diet culture has led us to believe otherwise.
I follow an organic, whole foods eating philosophy that emphasizes mostly vegetables at each meal and it's helped me lose sugar and flour cravings (I do eat grains, fish & other protein also). Other things that have helped me are understanding the ph of foods (acid and alkaline). Most people with addictions, like me, have overly acidic bodies, which causes inflamation and illness. I have worked to bring my body back to normal by eating more alkaline meals (vegetables would fit here). I can say that it's helped my digestion, my moods and my alertness.

Ms. B was gracious enough to share with us a wonderful recipe for Muffins.
Enjoy !!
Basic Muffin Dough
2 eggs
10 pgs Stevia sweetener
2 t. baking soda
2 t. baking powder
½ c. milk (cows, soy, almond, rice, etc.)
1 c. soy flour
1 c. whole-wheat flour
To this basic Muffin Dough you can add any number of ingredients. This is what I have done.
Pear Spice Muffins
Add:
1 can unsweetened pears, drained, rinsed and mashed with a potato masher
½ c. raisins
2 t. cinnamon
Pineapple Muffins
Add:
1 can unsweetened crushed pineapple, drained and rinsed
Banana Muffins
Add:
3 ripe, mashed bananas
Suggestions: (I haven't tried this one yet)
Oatmeal Apple Spice Muffins
Add:
1 can unsweetened applesauce
½ c raisins
½ c oatmeal
2 t cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease muffin pans. Fill the muffins cups to full. This mixture does not expand to overflow the muffin tins while baking.
Bake for 20 minutes.
Muffins will come out golden brown.
Loosen edges of muffins before removing
Each recipe makes 1 dozen muffins.
Those with sensitivities to wheat may want to try an alternative to the whole wheat flour.
These are heavy muffins
Approx. 135 calories each
Approx. 5 grams protein each.

Recipe: Orange dream
Dietitian's tip: Whip up this frothy cooler in minutes — it tastes like an old-fashioned Creamsicle. For best results, start with ice-cold soy milk and use freshly squeezed orange juice. Creamy, custard-like silken tofu adds extra body. For additional calcium, use calcium-fortified orange juice.
SERVES 4
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups orange juice, chilled
1 cup light vanilla soy milk (soya milk), chilled
1/3 cup silken or soft tofu
1 tablesthingy dark honey
1 teasthingy grated orange zest
1/2 teasthingy vanilla extract
5 ice cubes
4 peeled orange segments
Directions
In a blender, combine the orange juice, soy milk, tofu, honey, orange zest, vanilla and ice cubes. Blend until smooth and frothy, about 30 seconds.
Pour into tall, chilled glasses and garnish each glass with an orange segment.
