Discover how to simplify feeding your family so you can get satisfying and easy meals on the table with less stress and more time to spare.

Crazy-busy with hungry people in your house? Learn how to simplify mealtimes without losing your cool. Plan, cook, and assemble satisfying meals with guidance from award-winning Simplified founder Emily Ley.

Whether you love cooking, hate it, or it depends on the moment, it's likely the people in your house need to eat. Every. Day. Emily, entrepreneur and mum of three, has written the book that she always needed: an easy guide to getting food on the table without sacrificing your to-do list, your relationships, or your sanity.

The ideas and recipes in The Simplified Cookbook will help your life and kitchen run more smoothly while satisfying even the heartiestβ€”and pickiestβ€”of appetites. A tasty guide for novice and experienced cooks alike, The Simplified Cookbook includes:

  • Easy-to-use sections for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert, along with a few bonus recipes for those times you're feeling fancy
  • 60 delicious and easy recipes with limited ingredients
  • 60 more ideas for assembly meals: meals you can throw together in a cinch (or a pinch) and be on your way without a lot of chopping, sautΓ©ing, or, you know, cooking
  • Four weeks of meal plans, so you have a roadmap for success
  • A detailed resource section all about gadgets, staples, substitutions, and more
  • Inspiration and insight from Emily on why dinners together matter, how to avoid decision fatigue, and other tips and tricks for an efficient and welcoming kitchen

With recipes like Baked Apple Oatmeal, Ramen Chicken Salad, Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas, and Pound Cake that can be served plain or fancy, there is something for every need.

Take the stress and frustration out of your meal planning and preparation with The Simplified Cookbook. It's time to simplify your cooking so you have time for the good stuffβ€”time around the table with the people you love the most.

About the Author

Emily Ley is Founder and Creative Director of Emily Ley Paper & Gifts. She is also the creator of the bestselling Simplified PlannerΒ - a daily agenda for what matters most. Raised in Pensacola, Florida (home of the most beautiful beaches you ever did see), Emily graduated from the University of West Florida with degrees in English, creative writing, and public administration and then went on to become the executive director of the city ballet. From there, she worked in nonprofit management and public relations before launching her brand in 2008. Following the success found at its online home, EmilyLey.com, the Emily Ley brand quickly grew to be carried in over 500 retail outlets across the United States and around the world. Emily has been recognized with numerous awards, including Best New Product-Desktop (for the 2015 Simplified Planner) at the National Stationery Show as well as Top 10 Designers to Watch in 2015 by Stationery Trends Magazine. Now as a businesswoman, wife, and mama to three, Emily enjoys Friday pizza parties on the living room floor, strong cappuccinos with her college-crush-turned-husband, and making memories to savour for a lifetime with her twins and preschooler.
