Really simple: 140 healthy recipes for weeknight cooking
For Cavallari, launching her cookbook—her third—wasn’t just about food, but also about letting go of insecurities and prejudices she had about being a mother and public figure.
“This cookbook is all about those busy weekdays, running from one thing to the next and still wanting to have a delicious, healthy meal on the table for the fam,” she writes, “But more, I’m ready to show everyone the real thing.” to show.” me. I’m excited at the thought of sharing my weeknight meals — the food I make with my kids, nothing fancy, nothing too difficult or complicated — with everyone. This book, Cavallari declares, represents “My real life.”
Cavallari says her way of thinking about what home cooking means and what “healthy” means has changed over the years, and she’s less hard on herself when it comes to what she puts on the table. To that end, the star has embraced “intuitive eating with fewer restrictions” and has thrown all the rules out the window in favor of “spending more time outside the kitchen and around the table” with her kids.
“The theme of this book reflects my life in recent years,” she writes in the book’s introduction. “I’m not trying to be something I’m not, and I’m fine with showing everyone the real me. I stepped into my comfort zone and it feels really damn good. I let go of perfectionism and tried to do everything. In general, I am more at peace. And that shows in my cooking skills. I’m all for simplicity these days.”
