"The cookbook you need to make meal planning easy! I love that the book comes with perforated meal planning sheets to make your prep and grocery trip a breeze- I recommend this for any clients who are new to meal planning OR trying to improve their nutrition habits. Laura also breaks down some basic nutrition concepts in the beginning of the book, which I think is SO valuable. I love how simple yet healthy and well rounded the recipes are- she knows you don't have all day to spend in the kitchen! "
