When it comes to preparing meals for you and your family, what are two factors, besides nutrition, that matter most to you? For me, it’s time and complexity. Give me a nourishing recipe that’s simple to make and doesn’t take much time, and you have a winner.
That’s what I like about this Chicken Snow Pea Skillet. It’s also why I’m excited to share a new resource that features easy-to-make, quick recipes: The Super Easy 5-Ingredient Cookbook by Sarah Walker Caron. Sarah was gracious enough to give me a copy of her new cookbook and then let me share one of the recipes with my readers.

A mom of busy teens, Sarah knows what it’s like to try and cook nourishing meals when life is hectic and you have limited time to put a meal on the table. That’s why, in her new cookbook, she shares simple recipes with five ingredients or less and short cooking times. She doesn’t include unusual ingredients, but uses supplies most of us already have in our pantry.
My favorite part of this cookbook is that she also offers suggestions on how to change things around so you can make each recipe fit your family’s tastes and preferences. Don’t like broccoli in a certain recipe? Change it to asparagus, or something else. She even provides tips for making the recipes even easier.
I’ve already made a number of her recipes and this garlicky Chicken Snow Pea Skillet was one of my favorites. It’s quick, easy, and delicious.
This giveaway has now ended. Thanks for looking!

Thanks, Erin! The cookbook has a lot of good stuff to offer. 🙂
Planning everyday – I do good for as couple days then I forget or don’t take the time to prepare ahead.
Cookbook looks great
Oh I hear you there! Planning takes time too, but saves time in the long run when I do it regularly!
I love recipes with simple ingredients and quick clean-up!
Same here! That’s one of the reasons I like this cookbook. 🙂
I’d double the veggies to make it vegetarian-friendly. The flavors sound great!
I’m all for more veggies!

You’re welcome! You have a lot of great ideas in the book!
Being home!
Yes! I know what you mean, my friend. Being away from home a lot makes it harder to put fresh meals on the table!
