Queen of the Kitchen

Known for her incredibly approachable, slimmed-down, and outrageously delicious recipes, Ellen R. Hodge is the creator of the smash-hit food blog in the healthy-eating blogosphere, Queen of the Kitchen.

Her recipes are fast, budget-friendly, and clever; she never includes an ingredient you can't find in a regular supermarket or that isn't essential to a dish's success, and she hacks her recipes for maximum nutrition by using the "stealthy healthy" ingredient swaps she's mastered so that you don't lose an ounce of flavor.
In this essential cookbook for everyday cooking, Erin shares more than 200 brand-new rapid-fire recipes, along with secrets to lightening up classic comfort favorites inspired by her midwestern roots, and clever recipe hacks that will enable you to put a healthy meal on the table any night of the week.

Many of the recipes feature a single ingredient used in multiple, ingenious ways, such as Sweet Potato Boats 5 Ways.

The recipes are affordable and keep practicality top-of-mind. She's eliminated odd leftover "orphan" ingredients so you can adjust the ingredients based on the season or what you have on hand.

From One-Pot Creamy Sundried Tomato Orzo to Sheet Pan Tandoori Chicken, all of the recipes are accessible to cooks of every level, and so indulgent you won't detect the healthy ingredients.

This is your homey guide to a healthier kitchen!
