I am excited to share a fabulous cookbook with you – Quick Meals: More Than 100 Great-Tasting Recipes for Good Food Fast
Quick Meals is Carol’s second cookbook – her first one is a dessert cookbook – Simply . . . Gluten-free Desserts: 150 Delicious Recipes for Cupcakes, Cookies, Pies, and More Old and New Favorites
First of all, if you know Carol’s blog Simply Gluten-Free , then you know how incredible her photography is – her recipes are the same. I’m always amazed when I pop over to her blog to check out her latest recipe.
Quick Meals is a great cookbook for anyone on a gluten-free diet. It would even be a great gift for those who are curious about eating gluten-free. Most of the recipes are naturally gluten-free.
Quick Meals is cookbook full of simple, delicious, and quick meals for all occasions. The book is divided into 6 main sections: Quick Mixes, Simple Suppers, Easy Entertaining, Get Up and Go, Pantry Raid, and Slow, Slow, Quick, Quick.
One of my favorite sections is the Easy Entertaining section, Carol’s created great menus for certain occasions (i.e. In-Laws for Dinner, I love that one). Two of our favorite recipes from the cookbook come from the Easy Entertaining section: Roasted Sweet Potato Wedges and Quick Black Beans.
As a vegetarian, I love finding new and simple bean recipes. Quick Black Beans is a perfect recipe for a night when I need a nutritious dinner on the table fast. We like to eat our Quick Black Beans in tortillas with all the fixins (Callum’s favorite), with brown basmati rice and greens, or with quinoa and avocado slices. Recently I made the Roasted Sweet Potato Wedges and served them with the black bean dish. It was super easy and super delish.
A few other recipes we’ve enjoyed:
- Vegan Breakfast Bars
- Banana Date Muffins (easily made egg-free)
- Whole Grain Pancakes (easily made egg-free)
- Pear and Arugula Salad
Next up I’m going to try Carol’s Vegetable Curry recipe!

Stir-fried chicken, broccoli,mushrooms and garlic on a big green salad or on a “homemade in three minutes” gf flax seed wrap. Yum! The babes love it too!
