In her new cookbook, "Don’t Think About Dinner," Jenn Lueke offers a framework to save time, money and energy with strategic meal planning, grocery lists and kitchen prep.

Whether you want to improve your health, cut down on food waste (and spending), reduce your mental load or build new kitchen skills, "Don’t Think About Dinner" provides everything you need to confidently approach every meal of the day — from shopping and stocking the pantry to storing and reheating leftovers, and everything in between.

As a college student, Jenn was struggling with health problems and tired of quick-fix “healthy” recipes that relied on obscure, expensive ingredients that were often spoiled before she could finish them. Overwhelmed and frustrated, she felt further from meeting her health goals. So, she made a plan. Or rather, a list, filled with plants and proteins, plus simple recipes to make the most of them. This became the framework for her hugely successful business and transformed her life.

Unlike a typical cookbook, this comprehensive handbook offers strategies, tools, tips, meal plans and more, plus over 125 delicious recipes. Jenn includes a wide range of adaptable dishes that suit any vibe, budget or dietary need, from breakfast and lunch to appetizers, dinner, drinks, snacks and desserts.

Register today and be prepared to look at your pantry in a whole new light!
