A macro cookbook and a tablet, both displaying a sandwich with shredded meat, slaw, and a brioche bun on the cover, titled Lillie Eats and Tells by Lillie Biesinger.

What a week! I launched my first cookbook, a macro cookbook! This has been even more exciting than I expected. Not perfect. SHOCKER. A couple of glitches with downloading time and size and possibly a few grammatical errors. (Gasp.) But it’s all worked out, and I can hold it in my hands, and you guys have been AMAZING. So patient. So grateful.

I’M SO GRATEFUL.

Let’s just peek at a few pictures from it while we read shall we?

If you’ve popped over and don’t have one yet, I wanted to chat a little about the book so it’s here. On the blog.

I LOVE snacks, and I LOVE sweets. But when I decided how I wanted to organize my first cookbook, I just kept thinking about what I felt would be the MOST helpful. For me that’s dinner. When you might be surrounded by other people and needs and you’re HUNGRY, but tired. It’s hard enough to get dinner on the table PERIOD. Dinner on the table while counting macros?? It’s enough to break the best of us! This is a book devoted to dinners that can serve your macro-goals, WHILE serving your whole family.

A Macro Cookbook Everyone Will Love

This book is a trove of dinner recipes designed to make meal planning and prepping a breeze. It’s organized by protein (10 different delicious recipes,) with the intent that you make a large batch of one of the ten options, and then use it in a number of delicious, fresh meals (the other 40 recipes) all week. I used to think I HATED leftovers. But now I just think that means you’re not doing them right! It’s all about using the right things in the RIGHT way.

Some of the recipes in this book are tried and true favorites from the blog, while others are making their debut.  But the organization alone will make your meal planning so much smoother. ESPECIALLY if you count your macros. Every recipe has been entered into My Fitness Pal for easy logging and the book explains exactly how to search for it in the MFP database.

Three spiral-bound cookbooks overlap; the front cover shows a bowl of chili with a wooden spoon, garnished with cilantro, and the titles ONE, CRUNCH, and LILLIE are visible on each book.
A family of six, including a small white dog, poses closely together on a beach. The adults and children are smiling, dressed in light-colored casual clothes, with the ocean and sky in the background—capturing a moment that feels right out of an About Lillie Eats and Tells story, where wholesome family moments and beautiful scenery come together seamlessly.

  2. I use these recipes weekly! The crispy pork carnitas is a staple at our house. We use it for rice bowls, burritos, quesadillas, burritos, on sandwiches, and more! I love that macros are already figured. The portions are generous and flavor combos are delicious.

  3. This cookbook completely changed the way that I looked at, and thought about food and cooking! I am now excited to cook because I know that it is going to be so beyond tasty. I’m talking dancing in your kitchen YUM!! This cookbook is quickly becoming a collection of my favorite meals.. I LOVE it!! Worth every single penny!!!!

  4. I love this book so so much! On Sundays I do a big batch of one of the proteins and the rest of the week is so easy. I just pull out some of the chicken, pork, etc. and make one of the recipes in this book for lunches and dinners and it saves me SO much time! This is how I like to meal prep every week and the recipes in this are so amazing. Lillie has honestly changed how I look at food. It doesn’t have to be boring and bland to be good for you. Buy this book!
