The Weeknight Survival Cookbook: How to Make Healthy Meals in 10 Minutes by Dena Irwin (Author).The basic concept of this book is that you make one big meal a week and use the leftovers to make other meals throughout the week. Meaning less prep time on weeknights. This means that one night you'll have chili. The next night you'll have chili stuffed baked potatoes. Then on the third day you'll have chili something else. Some people might not like this kind of repetition, but others will appreciate the convenience. There are 12 weeks of meals included in this book, with few repeats. Usually three or four of the meals are similar and two others are simple recipes that are easily made in a few minutes.
It is simple, the recipes can easily be modified, and best of all: there are shopping lists. The foods are very middle of the road: not too gourmet, not too many processed foods. A couple meals a week are vegetarian, but carb watchers can add a fish fillet or chicken or something to the meal easily. Lots of veggies are included too.
