Jars, Bowls & Simple Nourishment Simple rhythms for feeding a family from breakfast to dinner

What if feeding your family didn’t mean starting from zero every time somebody was hungry?

Jars, Bowls & Simple Nourishment is a 50-page kitchen companion built around the simple rhythms I use to feed my own family of five.

This isn’t a strict meal plan, and it isn’t an enormous Sunday meal-prep session.

It’s about doing a little extra while you’re already there.

Cook extra rice with dinner and turn it into rice pudding tomorrow. Slow-cook two chickens on Sunday and let them become dinner, chicken pie, stock and soup through the week. Make several breakfast or lunch jars while the ingredients are already on the bench. Prepare four bags of a dinner your family eats every week instead of starting from scratch four separate times.

And when the fridge is full of little bits and pieces? Learn to see another meal.

Inside you’ll find breakfast jars, protein oats, smoothies, lunch jars, just-add-boiling-water noodle jars, build-your-own bowls, family freezer meals, slow-cooker dinners, soups, homemade pesto and dressings, muffins and simple snacks, loaded potatoes, fridge-clear fried rice, bubble & squeak, roast vegetables, salads and more.

But more than recipes, this book will show you the rhythm behind them:

BUILD IT — simple formulas you can make your own

MAKE EXTRA — cook a little more while you’re already there

STRETCH IT — make what you have feed more people

TURN IT INTO… — let one meal become the beginning of another

USE IT ALL — find another use for stock, scraps and leftovers

CHANGE IT UP — work with your family’s tastes and what you already have

There are portion guides for different appetites, freezer rhythms, ingredient swaps, gluten-free options, a sample week from our kitchen and plenty of ideas for making ordinary family food easier.

Because a well-prepared kitchen doesn’t have to mean a fridge full of perfectly portioned meals.

Sometimes it simply means:

Breakfast is ready. Lunch is ready. Dinner is already halfway done.

And future you doesn’t have to begin from nothing.
