Quick Prep Paleo: Simple Whole-Food Meals with 5 to 15 Minutes of Hands-On Time

I never write reviews on books, but I had to for this one. This is my FAVORITE cookbook. All the recipes are highly accessible, with easy ingredients and straight forward directions. I've tried other Paleo books, but this one is still my favorite and has many post it notes placed throughout. Some of my favorites: Korean Beef Bowls with homemade YumYum sauce p. 34; Sheet Pan Baja Fish Taco Bowls p. 13; Italian Turkey Meatloaf with crispy green beans p.14. Just to name a few. Beautiful color pictures throughout .

I am a cookbook lover (some may call me a book hoarder or collector) and real food foodie who loves to make flavorful healthy dishes for my family that don’t require much hands-on time especially with an active toddler and a new baby on the way. I also have Celiac and Hashimotos and love that this cookbook checks all the autoimmune and gut friendly boxes. This is THE cookbook to add to your kitchen collection! Mary’s recipes have simple, common and healthy ingredients with minimized prep time so you can prep ahead of time and throw it together quickly at me time or spend less than 30 minutes in the kitchen and pronto - delicious meal on the table for your family to enjoy. I love to ask my husband to rate our meals and there are many in this book that we’ve rated as 5 stars and family favorites. If you’re looking for a paleo, whole food, healthy cookbook that you will actually use time and time again and you and your family will enjoy while creating new family favorites - this is the one to get!! Lastly, thank you Mary for simplifying meal time in the kitchen so we can spend more time together as a family and eat healthfully along the way! :)

I’ve been very remiss in writing this review. Mary is THE best when it comes to delicious, nutritious, but also quick and yummy meals. Whenever I’m meal planning(or even scrambling at the last minute lol), I turn to her Instagram account and this cookbook first. Everything I’ve tried so far has been SO good. I have some pretty picky eaters in my house(my husband being suspect #1), and every recipe has passed the test. Sometimes, I’ll make small preference swaps, but Mary makes that easy with her clear instructions and ingredient lists and measurements. She’ll often include her own ideas for swaps as well. Honestly, if you don’t have this cookbook, you’re missing out on quick and healthy and DELICIOUS meals for yourself and whoever else you cook for. Just stop reading and put it in your cart already! :) But some of our favorites are the Deconstructed Burger Bowls, Loaded Sweet Potato Taco Casserole(I use reg potatoes and it works the same), Pineapple Pork Fried “Rice”, Korean Beef and Broccoli Bowls, and “Cheesy” Mashed Potatoes.

Every recipe in QPP is amazing! They are all on rotation in my house. You don’t have to be GF or Paleo to enjoy them! So quick and easy to make!

Just arrived but already so excited to try these recipes out after skimming through the meals and ingredients. Food allergies and intolerances line up with paleo so this book is perfect for making a much needed diet modification something to actually look forward to. Well done book, love the pictures, though wish it also had the recipe that’s on the cover.

I like this book. There are good recipes and I’ve tried a handful so far. My only issue is the dinner on the cover of the book it’s not included as a recipe page. It’s frustrating because the cover is what made me buy the book in the first place. Maybe I got a misprint.

Let me start by saying I have a LOT of cookbooks. Nothing beats the aesthetic of a nice cookbook, I just love looking at the pictures and recipes and flagging each recipe I want to try. This cookbook is hands down the most well loved (and I’ve only have it a month or so!). These recipes are incredible delicious, nutritious, and EASY! These recipes are just so simple and easy to put together after work (I work long hours in health care and have no problem coming home and creating a delicious meal for my family). I’ve made 6-7 meals so far and they have all been amazing. I’m not a strict paleo eater but I love that all her meals are healthy and simple. I should also point out that she never uses obscure ingredients or things that are hard to find - I really appreciate that. This cookbook will become a staple in your household - I promise!!! Do yourself a favor and get this book!

I love this cookbook. I was reluctant to make the purchase because google is full of “easy paleo recipes” but I am SO GLAD I did. The recipes are simple and there is a good variety, so I can always find something to make after a long day. Additionally, my husband who refuses to eat healthy, loves everything I make from this cookbook (which can’t be said for random recipes from google). That is the biggest win for me. We both get to eat healthier and he gets excited when he knows I’m making something from this cookbook.

Buy this cookbook, you WILL NOT be disappointed! So far I have tried 2 of the recipies and both have been SO GOOD!!!(I've even made one of them 2x this week because I loved it so much!) These recipies are super simple, use easy to find ingredients (if you dont have them already!) and are DELICIOUS. My husband who is not GF/DF/SF like me asks for these recipies and has yet to turn his nose down at any of her recipies! (Follow her on Instagram, too! Tons of recipies!

This is more of a gluten free cookbook, than a paleo cookbook. As some of the recipes include store bought sauces, green beans and potatoes. Having said that it's easy enough to swap out said items.

I will admit I was a bit disappointed when I saw the book, as I expected something bigger. I quickly saw that I was wrong because the recipes are amazing. Super easy, don’t require a bunch of obscure ingredients and my kids love the meals i’ve made so far. Definitely a must have!

There is a photo for just about every recipe, which is honestly why I bought it. Turns out the recipes are quite easy to follow and delicious as well. (:

This is by far the best paleo cookbook! So many easy ideas… my kids even flip though and find recipes they love. I keep out and cook from it multiple times per week… many of the meals have become regular staples in my house. Do yourself a favor and buy the book!
