Cook Once, Eat All Week is a revolutionary way to get a delicious, healthy, and affordable dinner on the table FAST. Author Cassy Joy Garcia will walk you through this tried-and-true method and show you how batch-cooking a few basic components can give you an entire week's worth of dinners with minimal time and effort. Have you ever tried a meal prep plan before and gotten so excited about having your cooking for the week done ahead of time, only to find yourself totally exhausted after a full day in the kitchen, shocked by your grocery bill, and tired of the same leftovers by Tuesday? Cassy Joy Garcia had been there, too. As a mom, business owner, and Nutrition Consultant, she needed to get a healthy, affordable, and tasty dinner on the table fast every night, and she knew there had to be a better way to do it. She finally cracked the code when she discovered that by batch-cooking a protein, starch, and vegetable each week she could easily assemble three fresh, diverse meals in minimal time. After years of her readers asking her for better meal prep strategies and easy recipes, she released 4 weeks of recipes on her blog, Fed and Fit. Since then, tens of thousands of people have made and raved about the series and begged for more! In this book, you'll find 26 weeks of affordable, healthy, delicious meals that your family will love eating, and a chapter full of bonus 20-minute meals. Optional Instant Pot and slow cooker instructions are included to get you even more time back in your week. With a Real Food foundation, the weeks in this book aim to support dietary approaches that cover gluten-free, dairy-free, Paleo, low-carb, egg-free, kid-friendly, and more. Three simple ingredients like shredded pork, potatoes, and cabbage are turned into these three easy-to-assemble meals: Honey Mustard Pork Sheet Pan Dinner, Enchiladas Verde Casserole, and Sloppy Joe Stuffed Potatoes. This book is a must-have for anyone looking for a REAL solution to help them eat healthfully while also saving time and money and loving what they are eating.
I was excited for this book. At first. I am on week nine. And struggling with the lack of diverse flavor, vegetables... Using ranch as a flavor for a week. For all your meals seems a bit much.
My husband and I both bought a book. He works abroad. So we've been working through the book together and chatting about it. We are both having different struggles. He is not a vegetable eater. And is also starting to struggle with the lack of diversity with vegetables.
It's not a bad book. But it's more of a guideline.
Truly an Easy Way to Cook and Shop

This is the book I've been looking for! She organizes meals around three main ingrediants so you can easily pick which week of food you're in the mood for. Then she gives you an organized shopping list! Oh my word, thank you! I can quickly check our kitchen to see what items I already have and head to the store. The meal prep is pretty easy too and most meals can be completely compiled and packed for lunches if you want. I love this book! It is my go-to when i have busy week ahead and know I won't have time to grocery shop and cook a lot throughout the week.
