Healthy in a Hurry

Every time I go to San Francisco, if I can sneak away for whatever it is I am there for even 20 minutes, I make a beeline to the Williams-Sonoma store in Union Square.  As you know I am not even a big cooker or baker, but for whatever reason those four stories of all things culinary appeal to my senses. I enjoy every minute of my walk through the store gawking at miniature cupcake pans, gorgeous tablecloths and about 100,000 other offerings.

On my last visit to the Williams-Sonoma Mecca, amongst other things, I bought Andy a cookbook that seemed to fit our family well.  It is called Healthy in a Hurry.

We have a lot of cookbooks but I notice Andy has gravitated to this one a lot lately.  He typically prepares dinner but a couple of nights this past week, he returned home later than me so I opened the cookbook and prepared the meal.  Each time, it was easy and the result, delicious!

Today for lunch was the icing on the cake.  I followed the simple recipe for curried chicken-apple pitas and am now a huge fan of both this recipe and the entire book.  ”Simple, wholesome recipes for every meal of the day” with delectable choices such as salmon tacos with mango-avocado salsa, buckwheat-blueberry pancakes and spicy seafood stew with quinoa.

Anyway, I wanted to share this find for the other working parents out there because I know how hard it can be to get something healthy on the table quickly.  The best part of all is that as I was researching the cheapest place to purchase the book, I found that you can get it for $10 cheaper on amazon than at Williams-Sonoma (while the store is beautiful, it is definitely overpriced, as evidenced by this book.)  It has a different cover than the Williams-Sonoma version but it is the same book.

Happy (Healthy) Cooking in a Hurry!

Quick update.  My mother in-law just called and said that Costco has this cookbook for $18.99.  That is a great deal especially considering it is a hardback book with gorgeous photos of many of the meals printed on high quality paper!  Also, I am adding photos of the recipe options to answer some of your questions about what types of recipes it has.  Hope it helps!

Buen provecho! (or Bon Appetit!)
