Review Quotes:
"What I love about JL is that, both in person and in her recipes, she is practical. This is not a fussy, overly-ambitious book of recipes. This is a realistic, down-to-earth game plan for success! Meal prep is one of those things I know I SHOULD do, but I'm too busy to figure out how to start. That's why this book is perfect. I love the myriad meal prep plans, complete with step-by-step instructions for meal prep day, and a map of how I'd eat those dishes over the course of the week. As someone who chooses to eat meat, but wants to increase and diversify her intake of vegetables, this book is a powerful tool on my bookshelf." --Aarti Sequeira, TV host and cookbook author
