This cookbook is amazing! If you are looking for a simple, easy to follow, whole food-filled cookbook, this one is for you! Living a gluten-free lifestyle can be difficult at times, so having a practical, real life book with actually usable recipes is a rarity! I often see very complicated gluten-free recipes utilizing three or four different types of flour online and save them to my Pinterest but never really have the time to think about the different flour combinations... and I really don't want to have to buy that many flours anyway.
That being said, the premade gluten-free flour mixes don't always work with those recipes either. Wellness Mama has created a cookbook that utilizes whole foods and fresh, accessible ingredients, all grain free. Who knew that making Jello could be so simple and so much healthier (grape juice and grass fed gelatin, anyone?). No joke - it was easier than making Jello from the box. My favorite recipes are the Pakistani Kima and chewy chocolate chip cookies made with only almond flour. The orange cranberry muffins were excellent as well. The best part is that sweetener-wise, there is only 1/4 cup of maple syrup to make about twelve muffins and they taste better than many muffins I've had with one or more cups of sugar. I recently made twelve of her recipes to share with friends at a party and they loved every single one. Since I was making so many all at once, I didn't have the time to taste each one as I went. However, as I sampled them at the party,
I realized that by following her instructions exactly, there was no tweaking necessary. The spice and flavor profiles are perfect! The recipes in this book range from every day quick, less than 30 minute meals with little prep to crockpot to snacking to simple healthy desserts that will knock out a sweet tooth without leaving you feeling like you need more. Everyone should have one in their kitchen. If you haven't checked out her blog, do it! I subscribed to her email updates, and I literally click on every article link. Her perspectives on raising her kids, living naturally, and fixing one's health with food ring true throughout the cookbook. @WellnessMama did us all a favor in making this cookbook!
A compilation of 200 simple, delicious recipes using all-natural ingredients; meal plans; time-saving tips; and advice that will take the guesswork out of dinner, from the creator of the popular Wellness Mama website.
With six kids, a popular blog, and no free time, Katie Wells, knows firsthand how difficult it is to cook a healthy, homemade dinner every night. Faced with her own health challenges, and also concerned about the frightening statistics on the future health of her children’s generation, Katie began to evaluate the foods she was eating and feeding to her family. She became determined to find a way to create and serve meals that were wholesome, easy to prepare, budget-friendly, and family approved.
The recipes and practical advice Katie offers in The Wellness Mama Cookbook will help you eliminate processed foods and move toward more healthy, home-cooked meals that are easily prepared—most in thirty minutes or less. The recipes focus on whole foods that are free of grains and refined sugars and without harmful fats, but are still delicious and full of flavor. With a variety of slow-cooker and one-pot meals, light lunches, dinners, and desserts, you’ll be eating better in every way in no time at all. Recipes include Sesame Chicken with Sugar Snap Peas, Sweet Potato Crusted Quiche Lorraine, Beef and Zucchini Stir Fry, and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies, as well as recipes for bone broths, fermented foods, and super food drinks and smoothies. Katie also shares pantry-stocking advice, two weeks of meal plans for at home and on-the-go, shopping lists, and more. This is the ultimate cookbook that readers need to incorporate healthy eating knowledge into their daily practices.
