More, Please!: Feel-Good Meals for Busy Families and Their Picky Eaters (a Cookbook)

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF SUMMER: Forbes

Delicious, stress-free meals for busy families, with flexible solutions for any dietary need, from food entrepreneur Rachel Mansfield.

Balancing a full plate of responsibilities--from work to home to kids--can be a handful. Add cooking three wholesome meals a day (plus snacks), and it can feel downright impossible. Social media may make it look effortless, but the truth is, it's not. More, Please! is here to help you feel less overwhelmed. With family-approved, kid-friendly meals, freezable options, and dietary flexibility to make the recipes gluten-free, dairy-free, refined-sugar free, and more, this book is the time-saving kitchen companion every busy parent needs.

Food entrepreneur Rachel Mansfield @RachlMansfield has accumulated more than 1.5 million followers from sharing her inspiring approach to family meals, which are as delicious as they are doable. As a mother of three boys, she knows firsthand how important it is to find smart shortcuts without sacrificing flavor. Featuring stress-free, repeatable recipes, this cookbook isn't organized by traditional meals, as Rachel understands that every day does not look the same in a busy household. Instead, More, Please! offers quick, reliable solutions for any time of day with chapters like Not-So-Boring Chicken or Yes, You Can Cook Fish.

Morning recipes such as High-Protein Cinnamon Raisin Quick Bagels can double as snacks, while versatile bowls like Crispy Rice Bowl with Ginger Sesame Dressing help keep energy up all day. You'll find approachable fish options including One-Skillet Lemony Shrimp and Baked Shrimp Cakes with Avocado Corn Salsa, craveable chicken dishes such as Chicken Parmesan-Stuffed Sweet Potatoes, and various ground meat recipes like tacos, meatballs, or casseroles. You'll also find low-effort one-sheet pan meals like Go-To Nacho Night Nachos, including many ways to cook a box of pasta like One-Skillet Cheesy Pizza Mac & Cheese. Sweet tooth? Discover treats like Sneaky Green Smoothie Pancakes and Chocolate Chip Cookie Granola that are so good you might eat them for breakfast too. Plus, Rachel includes a multipurpose section of condiments, sauces, and sides to elevate your cooking with ease.
