I love to cook but don't want to eat the same ...

just what I was looking for.  I love to cook but don't want to eat the same thing all week.  I can cook, freeze and create my own dinners.  Cook everynight for a week and then have a couple weeks off if I get busy.  I also have a couple of friends with whom i do "leftover" swapping.  It is nice to have something different now and then and these work perfectly for that.

Love the concept as I hate to cook, except the silicone ring in the lid smells just like whatever you cook and I can't get the smell out.  Also, I haven't had success with anything but pot roast (which was absolutely the most delicious I've ever had).

I like to cook and my collection of cookbooks numbers into the hundreds. While I love to make recipes from famous chefs and restaurants, I find that they don't always fit my schedule or yield results that warrant the time spent on the preparation. I'm always on the lookout for quick recipes that have lots of flavor and I have found quite a few of them in this book. I agree that the organization of the book (by time rather than by course or food category) leaves much to be desired, but that's a small thing compared to the delicious results I've gotten from the recipes.

Started following Laura Lea on Instagram and it was so enticing I had to buy the cookbook...and I don't even like to cook!  I can't wait to start making more of the recipes!  Oh and not to mention it's healthy AF!

I really want to like this book- great ideas for healthy family eating- but....so far my baby doesn't like the recipes I've tried-  I liked them but the baby- not so much

I loved how there are plently of easy recipes in this as well as some more difficult ones. I love great food but don't want to spend over an hour preparing and cooking dinner or lunches especially not on a regular basis.

So fare I have sampled and loved the rice paper rolls, cheezy chickpeas and sweet potato fries and I've only had it for a week.

I really wanted to LOVE this food.  The values this company promotes and seem to follow, the easy of purchase available it's my regular grocery store (not sure I can list that store but it is an upscale major chain) on Amazon and other small pet stores.  The easy of store is much better than frozen, the health benefits.  I really do mean I wanted to love it.

Sadly when I make this food the smell makes me want to vomit.  It really is repulsive.  Plus it is messy, one of the messiest.

I do not feel this food it terrible but I make it twice and day and who want to smell something repulsive twice daily.

It is too dang hot to cook... it just is. I don't want to stand in my kitchen over the stove making ANY meal, but I also don't want my family to live on cereal.

I asked some friends if they had any crock pot recipes (so that I wouldn't die in the kitchen...) and my friend Angel (who is now officially my own personal angel for this) gave me a link to this book...

Holy begeeeezus, yes. I won't have to stand in front of my stove all summer!!! I'm so excited...

I have it in the oven, but just not a fan of having to keep it on the bottom rack

I would love it if weight watchers did a 365-day menu cookbook for one person.  I don't have a family and my husband is very thin, so it does affect my expenses because I have to purchase a lot of food.  He always works the swing shift so I don't cook dinners very often.

I hate that I love this these so much. I don't want to love it but I do. Its complicated.
The cheddar flavor is really great and so is the jalepeno flavor. I wish it was more real cheese like though

OK.  I can honestly tell you that this is a great diet because, Lord knows, I've tried them all so I'm able to compare and contrast.  Your desire and appetite for delicious starches and sugars does subside a little with this diet, and I initially did lose weight, but just like ALL other diets I've tried I now want BREAD!!!  Maybe I have some genetic flaw, but I just can't make myself stick to any diet.  Give me a breadstick or give me death!

I like this cookbook very much although there are some recipes I would not want to make. I especially like the pizza.

I really enjoy my insta-pot, but the default cook settings will overcook anything you put in it.  Look up times and pressure online for meats, stews, etc.

It's a cool looking cookbook, but not really the way I eat (or want to eat) so probably won't be making much from it.

I bought this book because I like traditional recipes though admittedly I alter them to reduce the fat content most of the time.  The recipes you'll find in here are interesting and they sound like they'll make great additions to meals with friends or stellar dishes to bring to a pot luck.  The instructions are also of good quality and there won't be moments where you're reading the next step and think "what the heck?".  In short, the recipes aren't the problem.  The bummer about this book is that it gives entirely too many pages (and this means more than two in my estimation) to stories about the authors which, to be honest, I don't really care about.  Maybe this sounds nasty but I don't care about where these women grew up.  I don't particularly care about what they like to wear or do on a Saturday afternoon.  I do care about how to make delicious, interesting food on a budget.  I do care about the quality of my ingredients.  I even like the idea of bringing a bit of nostalgia into everyday life, but what I don't like is paying for pages full of other people's lives that I'm afraid I'm just not really that interested in learning about.  If I wanted that, I would have bought a biography.  I didn't buy a biography (at least I'm pretty sure I didn't).  I bought a cookbook.  So, if you can get past the initial "why is this in here?" moment and skip to the recipes, you'll find some great ones in this book.  So ultimately, I'm not sorry that I bought this book; the recipes are fun and I know I'll enjoy making this food.  However, the fact that I've had to go to the trouble of securing four paperclips (one in each corner) to the first couple of pages of this volume until it gets me to the recipes, ultimately earns this one only three stars.

Hi, I like to have meals lurking in the kitchen just in-case I can't go to the store.  These are cheep and are great to add with some meat or even just a little butter or oil will make them taste batter.  But I would not want to live on them or even have a steady diet of them.
