Now, Ellie has put together a collection of meal solutions for those of us who love food and want to eat well but struggle to make it happen given life's hectic pace.

  • Grab-and-go breakfasts for hectic days, as well as easy breakfast options for more leisurely mornings
  • Lunches to go, each road-tested in a cooler pack, along with at-home lunches for when you have the luxury of eating in
  • A month's worth of different rush-hour dinners-fabulous meals you can whip up in less than thirty minutes-as well as dinners for days when you have a little more time to marinate or roast, but still want it all to be effortless
  • Decadent desserts, some ready in minutes, others truly worth waiting for-all easily pulled together

As a mom with a full-time job, Ellie knows how busy life is when you're juggling your family's needs. Now, you can stop stressing over whether to eat healthily or to eat fast. The recipes here-from Cheddar Apple Quesadilla, Pork Piccata with Spinach and Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Marinated Flank Steak with Blue Cheese Sauce to Chocolate-Cream Cheese Panini Bites and Fig and Ginger Truffles-are ideal, regardless of the time, or experience, you have in the kitchen.

When so much in life is complicated, isn't it nice to know that eating doesn't have to be? After making and enjoying the meals in this book, you will say along with the title, "That was SO EASY!"

5 out of 5 stars Even better than the first one!   October 20, 2009
Sandra (Chicago, IL USA)

I just received this book and read through it. It is even better the first one!
When I got Ellie's first book, I was thrilled to know that healthy food could still taste good.
However, there were still some recipes that I wished I had in Ellie's version.
This book definitely fills that hole. Ellie recreated many dishes in her healthy versions, and some of them are the ones people usually think to be impossible to be healthy. I can't wait until try every one of them.
Another thing that I like about this book is, the recipes were divided into breakfast, lunch, and dinner and each of them were again divided into slow and fast. So, you could pick the recipe that fits your schedule.
Fast lunch has recipes for lunch boxes, so as a working girl who tries to eat healthy, I couldn't be happier. Thanks Ellie for another great book. You are the best!!



5 out of 5 stars love it!   October 26, 2009

I just made our first recipe from this book - the top sirloin with chimichurri sauce - and it was delicious and filling! Since I got her first book, the food you crave, 3 months ago, I've cooked from it 3 or 4 times a week and loved every recipe. If you liked the first one, you'll like this one too - more of the same great stuff!

Just received my copy of Ellie's book this past week and made the chicken-mushroom quesadillas. They were fantastic!! So easy to make so incredibly healthy. Her cookbooks make cooking so much fun because you know that each recipe is going to be wonderful!!!


5 out of 5 stars Accessible healthy eating   November 6, 2009

I'm a fan of Ellie Krieger's philosophy on healthy eating and find her cookbooks to be the ones that I use the most. It's accessible healthy eating and delicious too! I've cooked from her other cookbook often and now that I have this one the meals I cook only get better. I especially like how this book is laid out as other's have described and that all the nutritional info on each recipe is grouped in the back for easy comparison. She makes eating healthfully - so easy (couldn't help myself)!
