My Review
I am in love with this cookbook. I love the ease of it, I love the simple ingredients and I love that I can make myself a healthy lunch or breakfast in minutes. It’s perfect for a grab and go meal and great for work. I loved the cookbook so much that I bought a copy for our babysitter so that she can take it with her when she starts her first job. I would highly recommend this cookbook to anyone looking for a great gift for a student, traveller, office worker – or really anyone that needs to make great single meals fast.
This sounds like something I would like to check out. This would be perfect for a single person, a picky eater, a teenager, a grandma, a grandpa–just about anyone.
What a clever idea. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
