GETTING STARTED, SHOPPING LISTS & TIPS

MY BIGGEST PROBLEM IN THE KITCHEN IS COMING UP WITH NEW DINNER IDEAS THAT ARE HEALTHY, TOO; DISHES THAT ARE EASY TO MAKE, NOT WEIRD, AND DONT FORCE ME TO GO TO THREE DIFFERENT STORES TO FIND THE INGREDIENTS. I FEEL LIKE WE EAT THE SAME THING EVERY WEEK. TAKEOUT IS EASY, BUT ITS FATTENING. WHAT DO YOU MAKE FOR DINNER? DO YOU HAVE ANY RECIPES FOR ME? HELP!

Busy Moms Everywhere

Does that sound familiar? Its the beginning of most of the conversations I have with the many moms I talk to. Whether from television host coworkers, attendees at speaking engagements, or stay-at-home moms at cocktail parties, its one of the questions Im asked most frequently, as soon as people find out Im a chef and registered dietitian.

The reality of cooking for my family hit home for me after the birth of my baby Scarlet. For several days straight even I, the chef nutritionist, stared into the refrigerator wondering what Id have time to make for dinner. On one such occasion I figured out how to adapt my lighter chicken curry recipe to the slow cooker, and thats when the idea for this book hit me. Over the next few months I created original and improved recipes that fit my new-mom lifestyle, adopting a simpler, easier style of cooking using clean ingredients. The birth of my second daughter, Stella, prompted me to create even more streamlined recipes with even fewer ingredients, which youll find in this second edition. My goal is to inspire and educate other families about how easily they, too, can eat clean with just a little knowledge.
