Title:  Cook Once, Eat All Week: 26 Weeks of Gluten-Free, Affordable Meal Prep to Preserve Your Time & Sanity Author: Cassy Joy Garcia About the author: Cassy is the powerhouse behind the Fed & Fit website. She is a force of nature that I had the pleasure of spending a few hours over two days to prepare for her Colorado & Company appearance and her demo at the Nourish Festival a few weeks ago. After meeting her, loving her latest cookbook, I had to buy her first title Fed & Fit to recharge my meal planning.      What's to love:
  • 26 weeks of gluten-free, affordable meal prep packed with flavor and variety that highlight a protein, starch and vegetable
  • the menus provide three different meals that feed four adults
  • The menu from week 9 I made three times for Cassy's appearances here in Colorado. That week highlights chicken, kale and corn (and bacon). 
  • Shopping for the week's menu was a breeze as the ingredients are listed in the order they are found in the grocery store.
  • Prep day took roughly one hour (cooking the chicken, bacon, preparing the kale, corn, dressings and sauces). The prep made the following meals: Mexican chicken and corn street tacos, Confetti chicken casserole, and Green goddess salad.  With bonus dinner options that can utilize some of the prep ingredients with other proteins and also instructions for making the meal paleo and/or grain-free.
  • The dishes were easy to throw together, absolutely delicious and even made my husband happy - he ate kale!
  • Filled with illustrations, photographs and inspiration to create varied meals for your family that not only saves time and money but your sanity!
  • By far the best cook once/prep cookbook, I have come across.
