Skinnytaste Meal Prep: Healthy Make-Ahead Meals and Freezer Recipes to Simplify Your Life: A Cookbook by Gina Homolka
5.0
I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
Some of my cookbooks are beautiful and lovely to look at but sometimes their recipes are too far out of my comfort zone. Then there are cookbooks like Skinnytaste Meal Prep: Healthy Make-Ahead Meals and Freezer Recipes to Simplify Your Life that I can tell I'm going to use almost every week. In addition to mouth-watering photos on almost every other page, the ingredients are easy to obtain and recipes are easy to follow. I love to cook and I love recipes that can be assembled ahead of time. Since I work from home, I'm able to do a bit of prep work here and there when I take breaks throughout the day. I also love to make freezer meals but have had lots of mishaps over the years. I learned a few new tips and tricks at the beginning of this cookbook that I am excited to try out when stocking my freezer this fall. I tried the Baked Spinach Stuffed Shells (p 170) to make sure we liked the recipe and my next step will be to make a double batch with one for now and one for later. After I see how they come out of the freezer I'll decide if it's one of those recipes I can make in mass quantities (like I do with my lasagnas). Speaking of lasagnas there is also a Roasted Vegetable Lasagna (p 181) I am going to try (although I am very skeptical that anyone else in my family will like it, but it's worth a shot) as well as Juicy Italian Chicken Meatballs (p 102,) Black Bean and Butternut Enchilada Bake (p 185,) Autumn Stuffed Acorn Squash (p 221,) and Turkey Cheeseburger Egg Rolls (p 229.) In addition to all of those "Freezer Favorites" this cookbook also includes multiple recipes for Breakfast; Hearty Salads; Warm Grain, Noodle & Vegetable Bowls; Smart Snacks; and Big Batches & Planned-Overs. Whether you are looking for a cookbook for grab-and-go breakfasts, meal-prepping a week's worth of lunches, filling your freezer, or just you just need some dinner inspiration Skinnytaste Meal Prep: Healthy Make-Ahead Meals and Freezer Recipes to Simplify Your Life has what you need!
