Healthy Weeknight Dinners Made Easy: My New Go-To Cookbook Recommendation

You know I’m all about keeping things simple and healthy in the kitchen, especially during those busy weeknights when time is tight and everyone’s hungry. And during the Holidays! 

Plus, I love easy recipes to make with the boys, Kai and Ollie love getting in the kitchen with us and I enjoy every second of it. Recently, I came across a cookbook that’s been a total game-changer for me, and I have to share it with you all! Introducing Dinner Tonight by Alex Snodgrass, New York Times bestselling author of The Comfortable Kitchen and queen of healthy, accessible meals. Let me tell you why this cookbook is an absolute must-have.

A Go-To for Simple, Nutritious Weeknight Dinners

With Dinner Tonight, Alex has pulled together a hundred recipes that make healthy eating feel effortless. This book has quickly become my go-to because every meal is packed with flavor, and the recipes are easy to follow—even on the busiest of days. There’s something so comforting about knowing you can whip up a nutritious meal in no time, without feeling like you need to be a gourmet chef or spend hours in the kitchen.

For me, this book has been a lifesaver for keeping weeknight dinners interesting and balanced, even when life gets hectic. Each recipe is not only simple but also thoughtfully designed to work with a variety of dietary needs, like paleo, Whole30, and more, all clearly marked for convenience.
