We bought the kindle version of this cookbook. I was looking for something to give me ideas for use in a Ninja Foodi that I got for my birthday. I love the recipes. So far I’ve made two of the recipes. Both super easy with normal ingredients–not extraordinary items. I made the butternut squash soup and also the lentil soup. Delicious! Also both are easy to tinker with if you want to add or subtract ingredients.

I am a whole food kind of person but yet I find it a bit hard to cook good solid delicious food. While some of the recipes have too many ingredients in my opinion, many also have few ingredients and sound delicious. I can’t wait to try the sweet and sour chicken. It looks easy. I also like the salmon recipes. I hope to use these recipes to cut down even more on processed foods.

Do you know the feeling you get when you pick up a new cookbook and realize it will be your new go-to cookbook? The ingredients are the food you already love and always have on hand? The recipes teach innovative ways to combine the ingredients for completely new flavor experiences? The One-Pot Weight Loss Plan is my new favorite cookbook! My last favorite was published by Pillsbury in the 1970s so I’m pretty discriminating when I choose a favorite.
This cookbook uses common and healthy ingredients like canned beans, fresh vegetables, inexpensive meats, and common spices to create delicious meals. I’m on WW (Weight Watchers) blue program and the recipes here are all extremely low points as long as you use lean meats and cheeses. The book includes its own 28-day diet plan that includes a shopping list. However, these recipes will work for most non-extreme diets. Full nutritional data is listed for each recipe. The book indicates recipes free of the common allergens and those recipes that are vegan and vegetarian.
The book divides up its 85 recipes by the single “pot” needed to cook them. Though many can be cooked by another method or with a simple pot on the stove with some timing and water changes. Many of these pots are actually available modes within the typical instant pot like soup pot, slow cooker, and skillet. The other “pots” within the book are blender, one-bowl, Dutch oven, casserole, and sheet pan.
Okay, I can hear you say but what about the recipes? All types are here: soups, salads, Buddha bowls, roasted meat-and-potato bakes, smoothies, stir-fries, curries, breakfasts, quiches, oatmeal, enchiladas, tofu curry, and vegetable lasagna. Also included are many desserts from puddings to cheesecake.
The One Pot Weight Loss Plan is already becoming my go-to cookbook. I’ve already made six of the recipes. They were easy and delicious. It’s use of common ingredients, low-calorie but tasty flavors, and easy one-pot clean-up make for an easy weekday meal assistant. Check it out and see if it will be your favorite cookbook too. 5 stars!
Thanks to Rockridge Press and Callisto for a copy in exchange for my honest review.

Here is an easy, do-able, balanced and proven approach for losing weight. This “one-pot” approach includes a healthy diet, adequate rest, reducing stress, and regular exercise. These are the “legs” for this platform, and if followed faithfully, you will be able to achieve a sustainable chosen weight while improving your general health and energy levels.
This is as complete a program as I’ve seen, and the beauty of it is that Shelley Rael gives you all of the information you’ll need to make it work for you and your life style.
The “one-pot” approach is appealing. Not a lot of extra pots and pans. Nothing complicated. Just put it together, cook it and enjoy it. Wow!
Included is a 28-day meal plan, complete with grocery lists for each week. She tells you what you’ll need in your kitchen for meal prep, and offers a wealth of tips, as well as suggestions for substitutions, throughout the book (yes, in the recipes, too) to make it as easy for you as possible.
What I really like about this method is that “no food is off limits.” The trick is to eat appropriate portions, making sure you get what you need. What she is talking about, of course, is conscious eating, which is another whole subject in itself, and so important.
And here’s an interesting twist: The recipes in this book are divided into how you would cook them. Think Blender, One Bowl, Slow Cooker, Electric Pressure Cooker, Soup Pot, Dutch Oven, Casserole Dish, Skillet. Each section has recipes for breakfasts, main dishes and desserts, and the recipes not only look easy, they are also very inviting.
Highly recommended!
(The publisher sent me this book with a request for an honest review.)

I am making my way through the cookbook and for the most part I am impressed with the simplicity of the recipes. However, tonight I made the Salmon with Potatoes and Asparagus. There is no fat in the dish except in the salmon itself (some fat is needed for flavor) and it said to cook for 3 minutes on high and then sit for 5. This was not enough and yielded frozen salmon. I wish she had really worked through all the recipes to make sure that they worked. I would buy it again but I wish there was a way to provide feedback to her. I sure would want that if I had thousands of people using my recipes.

I’ve been on a healthy cooking binge and I have enjoyed many of the recipes. They aren’t hard to make and the instructions are pretty easy to follow. I can often get everything I need from Wal-Mart (order online so I save some time). It’s a convenient book, especially if you have time to prep your meals. I’m enjoying the meals, especially the desserts!
