Cooking/Health & Healing

Ellie Krieger—host of Food Network's Healthy Appetite, nutritionist, and mom—knows as well as anyone how hectic life can be. Sometimes the idea of getting a healthy and delicious breakfast, lunch, and dinner on the table every day can be downright daunting. Takeout may seem like the obvious answer—but with all the extra fat and calories, ordering in often does more harm than good. Luckily, Ellie's got the answer, and it's So Easy: a collection of meal solutions for those of us who love food and want to eat well, but struggle making it happen given today's chaotic pace. With Ellie in your kitchen, you don't have to choose between eating healthfully and eating fast.

In this practical and inspiring cookbook, you'll find more than 150 of the light, nutrition-packed, and satisfying recipes Ellie is known for, organized by meal:

breakfast
Choose between quick meals you can grab like Peach Pie Smoothie, Spicy Egg and Avocado Wrap, or Cheddar-Apple Quesadilla, and more leisurely—but still fuss-free—recipes to ease you into a day off, company-ready dishes such as Grilled Portobello Benedict and Blueberry-Almond French Toast Bake.

lunch
Turn your lunch box into a treasure chest with travel-tested, make-ahead meals that are truly inspired, like Salmon Niçoise Salad with Lemon Dijon Dressing and Roast Beef Sandwich with Watercress and Horseradish Sauce—or if you're eating at home, treat yourself with an Open-Face Chicken Parmesan Sandwich; Grilled Beef, Jícama, and Apple Salad; or Shrimp Roll with Cracked Pepper Potato Chips.

dinner
Find rush-hour options—25 complete, family-friendly, good-for-you dinners you can cook in less time than it takes to order a pizza, such as Tri-Color Pepper Steak or Penne with Zucchini and Mint—as well as slower-paced meals like Chicken Paella with Sausage and Olives or Porcini Crusted Filet Mignon with Creamed Spinachand Herbed Mashed Potatoes.

dessert
The "in a flash" options are quick and delicious—recipes like Cherry-Almond-Chocolate Clusters come together in moments, but you'll want to savor them slowly; extra-special treats such as Raspberry Clafoutis or Pumpkin Rice Pudding may take longer, but are still easyand definitely worth the wait.

When so much in life is complicated, isn't it nice to know that eating doesn't have to be? Once you dig into the recipes—and the mouthwatering results—from this wonderful book, you'll want to shout from the rooftops: "That was So Easy!"
