  • Good book
Format: Paperback
Good ideas and recipes for meal prep

  • A fantastic beginner cookbook with delicious food
Format: Paperback
I adore this book. I’ve always been a kitchen disaster, and this book has helped me overcome not only my reluctance to cook, but my expensive reliance on fast or convenience foods. Though I only wanted to eat healthier and incorporate more fruits and veggies in my diet, I’ve dropped 25 pounds in six months. It’s made hectic work/school/practice days easier to manage and I’ve introduced my family to some new favorites. I’ve recommended this book to no less than half a dozen people. The attached photo is my result of the cookbook’s blackberry-bran muffin recipe. ... show more

  • Great starter book.
Format: Paperback
It was a little tricky flipping between pages to make mini recipes within recipes but I got the hang of it. I did have to make a lot of substitutions for the quinoa grain that many recipes called for since my family doesn’t care for that grain. And Farro was another grain I had to sub out since it was difficult to locate at several markets I went to. But so many more recipes were very delicious like the lasagna, chicken pot pie and the sweet potato white bean and kale soup. I will check out more of her books. ... show more

  • Good recipes
Good recipes but not what I was looking for. This is a great book for someone that is starting the meal prepping process.

  • Great addition to any cookbook/prep shelf
This is a very informative book that is packed full of great ways to effectively meal prep while saving time and money. Has great meal ideas and ways to make the perfect to go meals. It is nice in the morning to just be able to grab a healthy meal and go not to mention when everyone else at the office is trying to figure out what delivery place to order from you can breath a sigh of relief knowing you have a already made healthy meal to eat!! Makes a great gift as well. ... show more

  • Love It
Format: Paperback
I love this meal prep book. I have never owned a meal prep/planning cookbook before, so this is a nice book to start with. Plus the recipes are easy to follow. It was a little confusing at first because the "sides" recipes are found in the back of the book, rather than with the "main" recipe. The thing that I love the most about this book, is it tells you how much of each food to place in your meal prep container. I don't have to do any guess work as to how much I should eat each meal. It's really nice! Love this book! Will definately be making more of these recipes in the near future! ... show more

  • Good recipes. Well written

Got for my niece and her husband and they love it. Great recipes and well written for beginners.

  • Easy
Format: Paperback
Bought for my child (early 20s, single). Easy prep meals . Just glancing it looks like simple ingredients and not too expensive. Breakfast, lunch, dinner & snack recipes. Only gave 4 because some picky eaters may not like a lot of recipes.
