Notes about Recipes in this book

• Cinnamon oatmeal raisin smoothie

  • brigs03 on February 01, 2026

    Use frozen bananas and reduce the ice. Sub pea protein powder w collagen. Expands when blended dont over fill if using a single serve blender.

• Avocado toast with cottage cheese eggs

  • josephine_d6upbv on February 25, 2026

    This was very good! I never would have thought to add cottage cheese to scrambled eggs. Really made a difference, PLUS it added extra protein. My avocado was a little ripe, so i mashed it with a little salsa. Delicious and a nice change for breakfast.

• Chilled shrimp salad with eggs

  • kshell on April 06, 2026

    I love a shrimp salad; this is a keeper. BUT, if you are following the nutritional guidance this doesn't work out to 31g protein/serving. Unless I am missing something, I get closer to about 24g.

• Spicy chicken poke bowl

  • Madpalice on May 27, 2026

    I've made this at least 4 times now and plan to keep in in our regular rotation. Huge hit with all of us.

• 10-minute meal prep deconstructed fried rice bowls

  • bob.mack on January 24, 2026

    I can't imagine a quicker or easier way to put together 4 meal prepped lunches for the week.

• Italian roast beef sub salad

  • kiki_4i30mx on May 21, 2026

    I'm not a huge salad fan but I decided to make this because I'm a grown up and need to eat my greens. I traded out the romaine lettuce for mixed greens and this was actually a really good filling salad. It was pretty easy to make and I do feel like you can make it ahead of time just by separating the ingredients. I will definitely be making this again.

• Buffalo chicken rice bowls

  • tammy_wq0eo5 on April 26, 2026

    Delicious! Added blackened corn to it and it was huge hit

• Mango yogurt chia pudding

  • billie109210 on February 18, 2026

    Solid chia seed pudding recipe

• Chocolate edamame bark

  • crandall57 on October 15, 2025

    This is a great, easy to make, high protein, snack.

• Black bean quinoa bowls

  • kshell on April 07, 2026

    End result was delicious. I would do again but make the sauce and pickled onions earlier. This dirties lots of dishes! On the upside there is leftover sauce and pickled onions, which we will happily use in other meals.

• Lentil chili

  • kelly_uht8ri on March 24, 2026

    I added a pound of homemade chorizo and made a roasted poblano crema to dollop on top. Cooked it in my slow cooker for 3 hours. Came out really good. Will make again!

• Creamy Parmesan & peas pasta

  • crandall57 on October 15, 2025

    We really enjoyed this dish. I used gluten free pasta, so lost some of the protein as mine was not high protein. Because of a cow's milk allergy, I used Pecorino Romano sheep's cheese and a soft sheep's milk cheese (Wooly Wooly) in place of the low fat ricotta. I used Trader Joe's petite peas. It was easy to cut in half for two people and easy to prepare. I will make this again, possibly with a high protein gluten free pasta.

  • nicole_mwyopi on April 28, 2026

    This was good but I needed some lemon and a bit more salt

• Lasagna roll-ups with cottage cheese

  • nicole_mwyopi on May 17, 2026

    Fun to do with the kids and deeeeelicious

• Roasted autumn veggie frittata

  • billie109210 on February 18, 2026

    I really wanted to like this more but it was just OK

• One-pot fiesta chicken & rice

  • billie109210 on February 18, 2026

    This is a keeper for our family. Kid friendly and easy to make. Would have been a 5 but it was a little lacking in flavor, but hot sauce helped a lot.

• Sheet pan soy-glazed meatloaf & veggies

  • bwhip on November 06, 2025

    I haven’t had meatloaf in forever! Probably because whenever I had it as a kid, it was kind of heavy, one-note and boring. But this recipe looked pretty good, with lighter ground turkey and Asian flavors. So, we gave it a try tonight. Lovely weeknight dinner recipe, and quite easy! Combination with the heirloom carrots and baby bok choy was nice, light, and flavorful.

  • ccav on November 09, 2025

    The combination of flavorful ingredients in ground turkey mixture make this even better (and lighter) than regular meatloaf. Such a good balance of flavors, a keeper! Served with rice.

• One-pot chicken orzo Caprese

  • sheila_lvaeg7 on April 13, 2026

    Topped this with a little dollop of pesto and it was delicious

• Baked teriyaki chicken meatballs

  • bwhip on February 24, 2026

    Exciting? Nope! But quite delicious, and super easy. We used ground turkey, and they turned out moist and tender. We’ll make this again.

• Shortcut turkey meatball minestrone

  • genie28 on May 24, 2026

    My kids LOVE this soup and so do their friends- one of my girls often takes an extra serving for school lunch! I sub spinach for the Swiss Chard and usually make actual mini meatballs with a mini scoop.

• One-pot lemony orzo with chicken & feta

  • amy_29ui5h on March 28, 2026

    So delicious! My partner said it was the best thing I’ve made in recent memory! Eliminated the olives and added extra tomatoes. Super simple to put together too!

• One-pot chicken pasta primavera

  • bwhip on May 28, 2026

    This was quite delicious, even better than we expected. Pretty easy to prep, very flavorful, filling, and protein-rich. We used mini farfalle as the pasta.

• One-pot Philly cheesesteak pasta

  • genie28 on February 10, 2026

    We used gluten free pasta - added an extra cup of broth but could have probably done more to make a real sauce. Also would add a lot more steak seasoning next time. Maybe it's the pasta's fault but it was a little one note.

  • kiki_4i30mx on March 20, 2026

    Solid meal, used high protein pasta. A little light in flavor so I used more seasoning

  • kshell on April 04, 2026

    Made subs to suit what I had and it was a crowd-pleaser. Used Omaha steak seasoning instead of Montreal and neither kid thought it was spicy. Used 1 lb. (who has 3/4 lb.?) 80/20 ground beef so the calorie count and fat obviously went up. It did need salt. Will make again.

  • Melissat on April 10, 2026

    Overall great pasta recipe. We did season heavily throughout the process and doubled the onion!

• Potsticker rice bowls

  • bwhip on October 31, 2025

    Very delicious, and so easy!

• Sweet potato burger bowls with special sauce

  • sheila_lvaeg7 on April 13, 2026

    This was quite filling. A fun take on a burger.

• Instant Pot French dip au jus

  • mariam287420 on February 09, 2026

    Absolutely delicious and easy to make.

  • Madpalice on May 27, 2026

    This was a huge hit, my family was skeptical and now is asking me to make it again.

• Instant Pot Uzbek plov

  • paige_l1smem on April 23, 2026

    Super savory and delicious!

• Pork tenderloin piccata

  • billie109210 on February 18, 2026

    This was decent, but I have a delicious chicken piccata recipe that I would make over this every time.

• Sweet & spicy salmon bowls with edamame rice

  • bwhip on October 22, 2025

    Really good - and so easy! My wife loved it too. I doubled the recipe so we'd have leftovers. The only tweak I made was to cook Jasmine rice in the Instant Pot, then toss in edamame and grated ginger with the rice once it was cooked. This will be in the regular dinner rotation for us.

  • julesamomof2 on February 16, 2026

    Yummy, easy, and only slightly spicy. Dirty dishes were minimal (cooking goal for 2026). First try from this book and it was a hit!

• Chili crisp shrimp lettuce wraps with pickled veggies

  • bwhip on October 19, 2025

    Delicious, and quite easy. The Momofuku chili crunch I used was super hot, but the heat goes away quickly. I used short grain brown rice, which was nice and sticky.

• Salmon & potato leek soup

  • bwhip on October 27, 2025

    Delicious, simple and easy soup. We enjoyed this very much. I made a couple of small tweaks, and still thought it turned out fine. The store didn’t have leeks, so I used shallots, and my wife doesn’t love dill, so I used thyme. Lovely for a cool and breezy fall evening.
