Notes about Recipes in this book

• Oatmeal banana nut bread

  • Feelingsamtastic on July 03, 2023

    Our go-to banana bread recipe. The kids also love it, and I feel like it's a more healthy alternative to other recipes without losing any flavor (It's not too sweet, and uses nuts/oats/whole wheat flour)

• Crispy-crunchy honey-thyme granola

  • korkyporky on April 07, 2025

    This is my go-to granola recipe!

• Warrior waffles

  • nadiam1000 on January 07, 2018

    Very good waffles - whether or not you need to eat gluten free (we don't). I baked them in both a standard and a Belgian waffle maker and they came out very good both ways. I like the idea of a higher protein waffle. I substituted whole milk mixed with 1T white vinegar for the buttermilk. served with maple syrup and berries.

• Spinach salad with crispy chickpeas and apples

  • korkyporky on February 25, 2025

    A staple in our house. Often make the chickpeas to go with other salads.

• Snow pea slaw

  • korkyporky on March 25, 2025

    Requires lots of chopping but a nice salad variation to go with fish!

• Warm lentil-citrus salad

  • bellatavia on February 23, 2026

    When I made this, I had a lot of extra citrus juice and the dressing came out too loose and diluted. I wish this recipe had a precise measurement for how much citrus to use. I added extra parsely because we love the flavor and it was a good move!

• Cauliflower and zucchini orecchiette

  • korkyporky on April 10, 2025

    Love this spring dish! Made with chickpea pasta for extra protein. Easy, healthy, delicious.

• Spicy shrimp pasta with fat boy breadcrumbs

  • kaityblueeyes on June 28, 2022

    So yummy and easy!! Will make again. It is pretty spicy so red pepper flakes to taste

• Thai vegetable curry with coconut rice

  • kaityblueeyes on July 10, 2022

    This was yummy! Very healthy dinner.

• Smoky salmon and avocado wedge salad

  • kaityblueeyes on December 02, 2021

    Very tasty recipe! Super quick, dinner on the table in under 10 mins. Kept the salmon under the broiler for the longer time recommended and it came out beautifully. Dressing was really good, didn’t have chives but it wasn’t missing much without it.

  • korkyporky on March 25, 2025

    Always a solid easy salmon recipe. Paired with the snow pea slaw from the same book.

• Pan-fried calamari with charred jalapeño chimichurri

  • kaityblueeyes on July 02, 2022

    This was good. Used masa harina instead of cornstarch because it was what I had in the fridge. It gave a light still crunchy batter to the squid.

• Trout with orange and herbs

  • kaityblueeyes on July 25, 2022

    This is so good and so simple! The orange sauce is spectacular. We served with a simple arugula salad for a light dinner after a weekend of eating out. Never had trout before and now I’m a fan!

• Kitchen sink chicken salad

  • kaityblueeyes on November 28, 2021

    Just made this again and it is a great throw together lunch to make with a Costco rotochick! Great flavor and hearty.

• Carnitas with fresh corn salsa and spiced chips

  • kaityblueeyes on July 31, 2022

    These were amazing! Definitely a labor of love with all the components but perfect for a weekend you want to relax and cook for a few hours. Will make again!

• Sticky, spicy baby back ribs

  • kaityblueeyes on November 25, 2022

    These are delicious! Loved the bbq sauce.

• Crispy chicken with zucchini

  • kaityblueeyes on July 20, 2022

    This is tasty! I doubled the recipe so there was extra sauce and the pan wasn’t big enough to get the chicken crispy but it was still tasty.

  • Feelingsamtastic on March 10, 2023

    Chicken got extra crispy and delicious. A tasty, quick weeknight dinner when you have left over chicken! It even worked with other vegetables (I used broccoli)

• Truffle salt roast chicken with lentils and squash

  • kaityblueeyes on April 14, 2023

    One of the best recipes in this book. Didn’t have truffle salt so put some truffle oil into kosher salt. Used sweet potatoes instead of squash and it was all amazing. The chicken was so juicy and the lentils and sweet potatoes were divine. Make this if you haven’t!

• Tropical fruit pops

  • kaityblueeyes on April 21, 2023

    Easy yummy healthy treat!

• Basil and berries lemonade sorbet

  • kaityblueeyes on May 15, 2023

    So tart and refreshing!

• Pistachio cakes with rose-cardamom icing

  • kaityblueeyes on March 11, 2023

    These are so delicious! Brought them to a brunch and they are loved by all. So pretty too.

• Chocolate-dulce de leche layer cake

  • kaityblueeyes on April 09, 2023

    A seriously top notch cake. Used coconut flour instead of almond (guest had an allergy) and the cake was so fishy and moist. Only used one cake pan instead of two and cooked for about an hour and 10. Will make again!
