Once the "Queen of Whipping Cream and Butter," now Holly's the "Queen of Quick."  Holly Clegg, author of the Trim & Terrific" cookbook series, has sold over 600,000 copies, reigning supreme when it comes to healthy, delicious everyday meals and party fare.

Turned off by both diets and tasteless foods, Holly took her culinary training and experience as a caterer and began to formulate recipes. Her mission? To give cooks the ability to put a delicious, healthier meal on the table in about 30 minutes.  

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 and The 700 Club as well as major local markets nationwide.  She writes for national food magazines and Internet food sites. 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.  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."
