You guys....this cookbook is amazing. I followed Mary on Instagram and my husband and I have loved every recipe we've tried of hers, so I knew I HAD to get her cookbook. I've made 3 (#4 is in the crockpot) and we've enjoyed them so much! What do I love most? 1. There are pictures with 99.9% of the recipes - who wants to make a recipe without a picture?! 2. I have 99.9% of the ingredients in my home. There aren't anything foreign - I've been paleo for a few years, but I think even for someone starting out nothing is too outrageous! 3. The time it takes to prep is MINIMAL. She is clearly a MOM! I can prep during nap, or do it fast enough to be able to track my 1 year old down. 4. The recipes taste delicious! My husband gets so excited to try the next recipe from the book because they've all been great. 5. It's been a great way to mix up my normal routine and try new recipes. I truly never write reviews - I wrote one to get a giftcard, but I am getting NOTHING for this - and I never buy cookbooks, but after trying her recipes from her blog I had to give it a go. This is as honest of a review you will see! Get it. I hope you enjoy it as much as we have so far!
Amazing Clean Recipes!
This cookbook is SUCH a gem! I’m a busy mom of soon-to-be 3 boys. The faster I can get dinner prepped and cooking the better. Love that all these recipes only require 5-15 minutes of hands on time! Great allergy friendly and clean diet friendly recipes. Especially love all the low carb/keto friendly ones. All recipes my kids will love too!
Faboulous, quick, family-pleasing recipes!
We're a "paleo-ish" family with three young kids. Even though we don't eat strictly paleo, having go-to, clean and easy meals that the whole family will eat and don't take me long to prepare is KEY to actually getting food on the table. Mary really hits the nail on the head with her recipes for our family. I haven't bought a lot of cookbooks in recent years, but this is a must have on my shelf especially for when I just can't think through cooking yet another dinner for my hungry family. With a mix of stovetop, oven, and instant pot/slow cooker recipes, there's something for any dinner prep scenario in this book. And she doesn't use any wild ingredients, just stuff that anyone vaguely following a grain-free or paleo diet will already have in their fridge and pantry.
DELICIOUS and simple!!
Let me just preface this by saying I NEVER have spent money on a cookbook. They have all been too complicated and just didn’t fit into my familys food preferences. I’ve been making and enjoying Mary’s blog recipes since I found out about my celiac, so I knew I had to buy this book. I’ve had the book for a week and have already made 6 of the recipes... made the cottage pie bowls recipe tonight! I am blown away by how delicious, yet easy, these recipes are! I have most of the ingredients on hand and the hands on/hands off time makes cooking fit into our busy schedules. My family and I can’t get enough of these meals. I highly recommend this cookbook- even if it’s the only one you buy!
Quick prep and cook meals for the family that are delicious!
Healthy recipes that require minimal prep and cook time and use paleo staples you’re likely to already have in your pantry. My husband and two kids enjoy all of Mary’s recipes. They’re not only healthy, but delicious! A must have for any busy mama or family trying to eat delicious food and healthy food. Buy Mary’s cookbook, I promise you won’t be disappointed!! The picture I included is the sheet pan baja fish taco bowls.
Mary KILLED it with this cookbook! (No surprise there)
I first found Mary on Instagram while doing a round of whole30. While I’m not paleo, or gluten free, I still keep her recipes on CONSTANT rotation... they are just THAT good. They don’t feel like a sacrifice or a punishment like some health conscious recipes can be. The cookbook is beautiful and full of so many healthy delicious recipes. I can’t wait to cook my way through the whole book! Thank you so much, Mary, for always giving us delicious, healthy recipes that are simple and doable! No crazy ingredients and no hours spent daily in the kitchen. You’re the best and so is your cookbook!
You need this book in your kitchen.
I’ve been following Mary for about a year and a half on instagram and making her recipes regularly, so when she announced her new cookbook, I had to order a copy! There are so many things I love about this book: every recipe had a picture, the instructions are detailed but uncomplicated, the ingredients are simple and fresh, and her helpful hints and tips are actually helpful! I’ve made two recipes since getting the book a week or so ago and both have been delicious. I can’t wait to cook my way through this book! Worth adding: I do not regularly eat paleo, W30 or GF, but her food is just so good I enjoy eating this way!
Awesome Whole30/Paleo cookbook
I just got the cookbook yesterday but I’ve read through the whole thing. All of the recipes look amazing. There isn’t a single recipe that my family won’t eat, it will just be hard to choose which one to try first! Most all of the meals have minimal ingredients too making it budget friendly. Buy this book today, you won’t regret it!
Even if you’re not following a Paleo diet you NEED this book!
For the the past 3 years I have abided by a paleo diet off and on. A lot of times I ended up being derailed because I was overwhelmed. Time consuming recipes (busy mom of three here) and feeling like I had to buy a million expensive staples for my pantry have probably been my top two frustrations. Recently, I decided it was time to get back on track and focus my efforts on eating whole foods. About 2-3 months ago, I had seen some influencers on Instagram talking about Quick Prep Paleo. I looked it up and added it to my “save for later”. I’m always buying Paleo cookbooks that I end up not using so I wanted to think about it first. I was searching Pinterest for some dinner recipes and found Mary’s Scalloped Potatoes and Rueben in a Bowl recipes. Once I made those recipes it sealed the deal and I purchased Quick Prep Paleo immediately! I have never used a cookbook SO MUCH! I’ve had cookbooks for years that I barely made any recipes out of. In the last few weeks, I’ve already made 12 recipes from this book and every single one I had been amazing and we have several favorites that are already on repeat for the weekly meal plan! Mary is honestly a genius! She’s found a way to put healthy, affordable, flavor packed meals on the table with minimal work! You NEED this book!
Go-To Cookbook for easy & delicious Paleo/Whole 30 cooking! Get it!
I was looking for some simple yummy dinners to help me stay on track with mostly paleo/Whole 30 clean eating. I had tried & loved a couple of recipes on the Mary’s Whole Life blog and decided to go for it with the cookbook. So incredibly happy with that decision! Since getting the cookbook I have used it for 75% of my meal planning and we’ve loved every recipe we’ve tried so far and will make them all again! My absolute favorite so far is the smothered pork chops but it’s hard to pick which one we like best. I check out quickly if recipes get too complicated and all of these for sure fit the “quick prep” description but create amazing meals that taste like they were much more involved. So far we have devoured the cashew chicken & green bean stir fry, spinach artichoke chicken casserole, creamy bolognese, “cheesy” mashed potatoes, ranch crusted pork tenderloin & sausage potato broccoli sheet pan dinner. There is not one yet that we haven’t loved. I have so many more flagged for my meal planning in the weeks to come. Can’t wait to eat my way through this whole cookbook. Previously I burned out very quickly with clean eating meal planning or got bored with the same few recipes, but with this cookbook it’s been so easy to stay on track with such a variety of delicious & easy meals. Highly recommend!
