New York Times bestselling author and queen of healthy weeknight dinners, Alex Snodgrass, shares delicious dinners that will bring everyone to the table.

Known for her “cleaned up” weeknight comfort food, Alex Snodgrass understands the importance of making healthy food accessible both in flavour and preparation. At the end of a long day during a tiring week, you just want to whip up a low-fuss, delicious meal that helps alleviate the day's stresses. With Dinner Tonight, Alex provides dinners that make eating healthy a breeze, transforming it from a daunting task to an enjoyable routine.

Alex’s recipes demonstrate that you don’t have to be an expert or spend endless hours in the kitchen to eat and live well. The meals are flexible, catering to a variety of different diets such as paleo and Whole30, with clear labels for ease. Her dishes are especially ideal for people on the “food freedom” stage of their health journey. The book offers an array of meals ranging from soups and salads to pasta, seafood, poultry, beef, desserts, and convenient condiments. Some enticing recipes include:

  • Seared Tuna with White Bean and Arugula Salad
  • Chicken Pot Pie Chowder
  • 2AM Kimchi Noodles
  • One-Pan Coconut-Lime Chicken and Rice
  • Chipotle Turkey-Stuffed Poblano Peppers
  • Roasted Vegetable Pita with Herby Tahini
  • No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Squares
  • Strawberry Short-Crispies

Dinner Tonight ensures that delicious food is within anyone’s grasp, no matter how busy they are.
