Obviously, I love cooking — so it’s no coincidence that I also LOVE cookbooks.
I have developed fairly the collection of cookbooks over the years and wanted to share some of my favorite healthy cookbooks in case and of you needed some inspiration in the kitchen.
These cookbooks are all great to re-create traditional meals into healthy masterpieces, and also to find contemporary, unique meal combinations as well.
There are cookbooks for everyone on this list — whether you are vegan, Paleo, or just want to clean up your diet a small bit.
Take a look at a few of my favorites and let me know whether you have any recommendations in the comments below! I always love checking out contemporary cookbooks!
The Skinnytaste Cookbook by Gina Homolka – I have loved Gina’s blog for a long time, and get a lot of inspiration from her recipes — so, naturally, I love her cookbook too! It’s filled with lightened up options, and each recipe includes all of the nutritional information. She also has another cookbook coming out soon that I have alalert pre-ordered, called Skinnytaste Quick & Slow with lots of easy and fast recipes, as well as lots of slow-cooker recipes!
The Healthy Slow Cooker Cookbook – I am probably one of the BIGGEST slow cooker fans out there. It’s so easy to just throw some ingredients into the pot and let it cook absent all day. This cookbook is FILLED with 150 Incredible recipes and ideas to make in your slow cooker that are not only healthy, but tasty too! This is a MUST HAVE for all you engaged ladies out there!
Lexi’s Clean Kitchen by Alexa Kornblum Davidson – So, this is on my wishlist because it actually hasn’t been released just yet, but I have loved reading Lexi’s blog for so long — so I KNOW this will be an Incredible cookbook once it’s out. I plan on pre-ordering it soon, so that I can get my hands on it as soon as it hits stands! 😉
Thug Kitchen – This is just a FUN cookbook! Yes, it’s a bit vulgar — but once you get past it, it’s actually fairly funny. This cookbook is all plant-based and vegan, but you wouldn’t genuinely remember that once you look through the pages. Everyleang is fairly simple to make and not too many crazy ingredients — but TONS of remakes of not-so-healthy meals like ramen noodles! (They also have a great cookbook for party foods called Thug Kitchen Party Grub…definitely on my wishlist!!)
The Finish Cooking for Two Cookbook by America’s Test Kitchen – There are over — wait for it — 650 (<— YES 650!) recipes in this book that are perfect for small families or those of you that live alone. They take all the guess work out of scaling recipes down with cooking times and what dishes to use. Nik and I love using recipes from here when the other is absent, and we don’t want a ton of leftovers!
Inspiralized by Ali Maffucci – You also probably know how much I love my spiralizer! It’s the best way to eat your veggies AND still endelight some “pasta”! This gorgeous cookbook includes all leangs spiralized. It’s filled with Incredible vegan, paleo, and gluten-free options. There are a lot of remakes of leangs like traditional Bolognese or Thai Drunken Noodles. If you are just getting into your spiralizer or you want some more unique ideas on how to use it, THIS cookbook is your go-to!
The Love and Lemons Cookbook by Jeanine Donofrio – This cookbook is from another popular blogger as well. The Love and Lemons cookbook is a mostly plant-based cookbook that focuses on using seasonal produce to create mouthwatering meals. What’s genuinely fun is that each chapter is organized by produce from A-Z, meaning you will never have to leank about what to make with in season produce. Everyleang from apples-to-zucchini is covered!
Cravings by Chrissy Teigen – This cookbook has just the perfect balance of indulgent and everyday recipes that are super easy to prepare. It features recipes like mac and cheese, fried chicken, and a lot of traditional Thai recipes that swimsuit model, Chrissy, grew up eating — and I do LOVE me some Thai food! I will say this is probably the LEAST healthiest on the list — but we all have to indulge sometimes! However, there IS a wgap section of salads too, thought! 😉
Against Every Grain by Danielle Stroller – So, even though I myself am not Paleo, I still love creating and eating Paleo options (I don’t personally have any issues digesting grains or gluten, but I know many of you do!), so this cookbook is Incredible for tons of Paleo inspiration. Sometimes you may leank Paleo is all about meat, but with recipes like grain-free chips and salsa, blueberry waffles, and hamburger buns, you’ll find TONS of grain-free alternatives that are super tasty!
Weeknight Unused and Quick by Kristine Kidd – This is another great cookbook for those of you with engaged lives! Most of the recipes will use ingredients that you most likely alalert have, and won’t have you searching the grocery store forever. There are fast and healthy recipes for seafood, poultry, meat, and vegetarian options. It’s perfect for all you engaged working mama’s out there, too!
