Easy Everyday - by Jessica Merchant (Hardcover)

About the Book

"Jessica has unlocked the secret to getting meals on the table that are nutritious, delicious, creative, and low maintanance. She's also realized that throughout all of the recipes she's created, all of the advice she's been asked for, that although we're asking for stress-free ways to cook meals, we're ultimately asking for a happy table experience, a place to create memories with our loved ones over a delicious meal. As Jessica states in her introduction: "I only want dinners to take me around 30 to 45 minutes to make, preferably even less. Breakfasts and lunches have to come together almost instantly, unless it's a special occasion or I find myself with a luxurious chunk of time. Weekend specials aside." With this in mind, all 100 recipes in this book will keep the reader out of the kitchen and spending more time with the people they love. Meal planning tips and tricks abound here, with ingredients chosen for ease of preparation, versatility, and leftover quality. Jessica will share her 10 minute meal prep strategy to create easy, healthy, satisfying meals, lunches, and snacks to have throughout the day. Readers will love recipes such as Crispy Baked Breakfast Quesadillas, Peanut Butter Chocolate Oatmeal Cups, Cherry Jalapeno Chicken Salad, Lemon Spaghetti with Roasted Chickpeas and Cilantro Lime Sheet Pan Fajitas.
