Join me on my book tour
That’s right, I’m going on a book tour in September & October! Get tickets to come meet me in your city HERE — I can’t wait to see you!
Why preorder the book?
You might be wondering why you should preorder the book and I’m here to fill you in:
- Retail availability. The number of preordered books lets retailers know that they should stock more copies, which in turn gets even more copies in readers’ hands. Publishers will print more copies to sell in stores when they see that the book is in demand!
- More in-person event opportunities. The more the book is preordered, the more opportunities my team and I will have to share it around the country (and the world!) through events in different cities.
- Becoming a bestseller. Preordering the book helps it climb coveted bestseller lists on New York Times, Amazon, and more. A TRUE honor for any author.
Your support means the world to me! I couldn’t do this without you.
Chapter 1: Change Your Morning, Change Your Life
I created these recipes with the hope that they will help bring happiness to your morning, and that it will spill into the rest of your day.
Featured recipe: No-Knead Pumpkin Cranberry Walnut Harvest Bread
Chapter 2: Gotta Love Big Salads
For the price of one restaurant salad, you can make an even better salad that you can meal prep for the week or feed your whole family for the night. I hope these recipes show your family and friends how salads can be a true source of both flavor and pleasure.
Featured recipe: Superfood Broccoli Salad with Grains, Nuts & Seeds
Chapter 3: Damn Good Soup
There’s something nostalgic and comforting about the aroma of cozy spices simmering away on the stovetop and perfuming my kitchen that brings me back down to earth and feels like home. Each soup is unique and tells a story: about family, growth, and changing seasons.
Featured recipe: Knock-Your-Socks-Off Chipotle Chicken Pozole
Chapter 4: Hearty Vegetarian Mains Everyone Will Love
I went ALL. IN. on these recipes, which are designed to blow the minds of every person who sits at your table: Vegetable-lovers, for sure, but also people who claim they can’t be satisfied if they don’t eat meat.
Featured recipe: Magical Sweet Potato Black Bean Enchiladas with Creamy Roasted Poblano Jalapeño Sauce
Chapter 5: Handhelds Every Night!
These recipes can be party food, shareable dishes for potlucks, or, if you just need a quick family dinner that makes a weeknight better than average, well, they’re here for that, too.
Featured recipe: Everyone’s Favorite Baked Chicken Tacos (packed with veggies!)
Chapter 6: Dreamy Dinners
Sure, your body will be fueled by the nourishing ingredients (you’ll find plenty of feel-good veggies), but, more important, your soul will be comforted from the process of chopping, cooking, and presenting something beautiful and delicious to family and friends. Dreamy, indeed.
Featured recipe: Sheet Pan Sesame Gochujang Salmon Bowls
Chapter 7: Ambitious Sides
Why stop at an entrée? Add a bit more pop to your table with this gorgeous collection of show-stopping sides that will round out any meal nicely.
Featured recipe: Milk & Honey Oatmeal Dinner Rolls (or burger buns!)
Chapter 8: The Flavor Bible
Here are the sauces, dressings, and garnishes that I reference throughout this book that will instantly perk up sandwiches, salads, pastas, and proteins. If you have one (or more!) around at all times, you can always add a little “oomph” to your meals.
Featured: some of the beautiful ingredients you’ll find in these recipes.
Chapter 9: Your Girl Never Forgets Dessert
These recipes are for all types of occasions, from “lunch dessert” (yup, you read that right), to a quick cookie after dinner, to a time-consuming showstopper that will leave you feeling proud of your efforts.
Featured recipe: Everything-But-The-Kitchen-Sink Cookies
