ABOUT DONT THINK ABOUT DINNER:

Whether you want to improve your health, cut down food waste (and spending), reduce your mental load, or build new kitchen skills, Don’t Think About Dinner provides everything you need to confidently approach every meal of the day—from shopping and stocking the pantry to storing and reheating leftovers, and everything in between.

As a college student, Jenn was struggling with health problems and tired of quick-fix “healthy” recipes that relied on obscure, expensive ingredients that often spoiled before she could finish them. Overwhelmed and frustrated, she felt further from her health goals. So, she made a plan. Or rather, a list—filled with plants and proteins, plus simple recipes to make the most of them. This became the framework for her hugely successful business—and transformed her life.

In this engaging, cleverly organized book, Jenn expands on the content that has captivated millions of devoted follows. Unlike a typical cookbook, this comprehensive handbook offers strategies, tools, tips, meal plans, and more, plus over 125 delicious recipes. Jenn includes a wide range of adaptable dishes that suit any vibe, budget, or dietary need, from breakfast and lunch to appetizers, dinner, drinks, snacks, and desserts, including:

• Goat Cheese and Kale High-Protein Egg Muffins, a quick, satisfying reheatable breakfast
• Barbecue Chicken Chopped Salad, more filling and budget-friendly than the one from your favorite food chain
• Street Corn-Inspired Shrimp Skillet, a high-protein dinner done in 30 minutes
• Sheet Pan Butternut Squash Mac and “Cheese,” a delicious, plant-powered wonder
• Fudgy Sweet Potato Brownies—so good you’ll forget about the box mix

Don’t Think About Dinner is designed to streamline the way you cook and think about your meals. With a fully stocked kitchen and plan in place, you’ll be amazed at how much easier it is to cook nourishing, budget-conscious, standout meals.
