I was so excited to launch this new book in November, I never got around to blogging about it! Thanks to Instagram, you’ve been purchasing and reviewing and sharing… sending me so many amazing messages… thank you so much for all of the love and support! Now my goal in 2021 is to get back to updating things over here. The blog has been a bit neglected. And this new one-dish labor of love needs to be documented.
If you’re new here, I create macro-friendly cookbooks! But I also love to keep this blog updated with free recipes. But that’s been hard to do while trying to finish “ONE” so I’m so happy to be done, and see it out in the world, being used like crazy in your homes!
Ok, so I’m excited to get back to sharing content over here. But I’m not sure anything will ever compare to the ease of opening up a book in your kitchen, following the recipe, and then logging your quantity directly from My Fitness Pal. (For the macro-counters of course.)
“One” A Healthy Twist on Single-Dish Comforts
This new book is the third of my macro-friendly cookbooks. It focuses on delicious, comforting, yet still healthy meals that are essentially served from one dish. You’ll find a handful of favorite lightened up sauces and dressings, plus 56 recipes that are ideal for feeding the whole family, but also PERFECT for meal prep.
Just like the Lillie Eats and Tells cookbook and the Crunchwrap Book, every recipe has the macronutrients not only included in the book but pre-loaded into both the My Fitness Pal and Lose It apps to simplify your macro-counting experience.
A handful of the recipes are tried and true favorites from the blog, some have been leaked here and there on my instagram page or here on the blog for thorough testing and perfecting, and several others are making their debut.
Here are a few examples of what you’ll find in “ONE”:
- White Chicken Chili
- Philly Cheesesteak Skillet
- Egg Roll Bowl
- Chicken Pot Pie Soup
- Creamy Cauliflower Spaghetti Squash Casserole
- Crustless Quiche
- Stacked Chicken and Cauliflower Enchiladas
- Creamy Spinach Artichoke Chicken Bake
- Greek Chicken Souvlaki and Roasted Red Peppers
- Blackened Salmon and Veggies
- Bruschetta-Topped Tilapia with Roasted Cauliflower
- Almost Classic Cottage Cheese Chicken Salad
- Shrimp Ceviche Salad
- Jalapeño-Avocado Dressing
- Creamy Chimichurri
But here’s a comprehensive list of contents! The book is broken up into six sections.
Pots
In POTS you’ll see all of the soups and chilis you need to get you through the Fall and Winter, along with a DELICIOUS but simple, staple weeknight bolognese and pork ragu to serve over pasta or a lower carb option like spaghetti squash. Family favorites all winter over here! All of the meals in this section are PERFECT for prepping ahead, freezing, or talking to a friend.
PANS
Pans will give you a variety of delicious dinners cooked in ONE skillet. All of these come together very quickly on the stove top, and a couple are finished off in the oven. ALL of them are so tasty, comforting, and served from one dish!
Dishes
The dishes are another term for casseroles! Creamy, comforting, and yet TOTALLY MACRO-FRIENDLY. Like even LARGE-portioned servings. My M.O. The stacked enchiladas, and the deconstructed butternut enchiladas have been big hits! As wells as the creamy cauliflower spaghetti squash and cheesy broccoli chicken and “rice”casseroles. You’ll be cozy, full, AND crushing goals. I’m serious guys.
Sheets
These are your sheet pan dinners. You’ll see lots roasted veggies, easy quick chicken, salmon, pork. Stick your large sheet pan in the oven, clean up the kitchen. Dinner is a BREEZE.
Bowls
This is my salad section! Macro-friendly family-sized salads, which means you can choose one when you’re serving a crowd. But serve yourself a portion and log it if you like! You’ll also find a few favorite bowls written for just one. These ones will be easy to multiply if you’d like it to feed your whole family!
Jars
In the JARS section, you’ll find my favorite and essential sauces! It’s amazing what a good sauce or condiment can do for a meal. But it’s also amazing how quickly they can add up if you’re not careful. I’m all about indulgence when it’s worth it. But I don’t want to spend all of my fun on my salad or roasted veggies… but that doesn’t mean I don’t want them to be DELICIOUS.
The digital copy can be downloaded immediately after purchase and saved to your books or kindle app for easy viewing. The print copy will be a spiral bound, paperback that can lay open flat on your kitchen counter while you use the heck out of it. xo
For the Macro Counters
This book, along with my other two, are meant for anyone who who appreciates higher protein, veggie-packed, healthy, balanced, delicious recipes. If you count macros, they’ll be especially life-changing. Said as humbly as possible.
Macro-counting can be so exciting if you’re feeling good and seeing progress. But it can also be SO SO time consuming if you want or hope for any variety in the kitchen. Planning, calculating, and measuring your food can be too much to sustain! But so can chicken and broccoli every night.
Each recipe from this book (and my others) has been pre-loaded into My Fitness Pal by the gram. This means that you can follow the directions for a spaghetti squash bake, clean up, pull it out of the oven, and dish yourself the 400 gram bowl you already logged ahead (simply go to your diary and search the title as I clarify on each book-recipe.) And if you don’t want it all, you can adjust in to 300. Still hungry? Log 600. It’s up to you.
Easy peasy.
Happy cooking!
The only cookbook you need. Seriously- don’t think- BUY!
ONE is the best cookbook I own. Every single meal is packed with veggies and tastes amazing! Since purchasing this book my family of 6 has not eaten anything but the recipes from this book! The best part is none of count macros! We just love delicious and healthy food! Lille nailed it with this book! YUM!
Love, love, LOVE all of your cookbooks! Constantly find myself recommending them! ONE is fantastic. I especially love the white chicken chili and the eggroll bowls!!!
I am someone constantly trying new recipes. Always trying to find healthy ones that don’t taste like they’re too healthy. The ONE cookbook is my favorite ever. Love it so much and so does my husband! All delicious and lots of veggies in the meals. Thanks so much!
Our family loves these recipes! They are a hit with picky kid and husband. My favorite part is when we have enough for lunch leftovers…..some are even large enough for two full meals depending on kids ages / appetites. So worth it to have a lovely printed copy too!
I LOVE this cookbook. At least one meal a week comes from it. Sometimes two! I’m not sure what we ate before I bought Lillies cookbooks!
ONE is absolutely my most used cookbook. Making my way through all the recipes and each one is better than the last. Several have already been repeats. My husband and I are new to macro counting and Lillie’s macro info has been so helpful and has made macro counting so much easier! Big Lillie fans in this house!!
This is my favorite cookbook I’ve ever owned. I’ve loved every recipe I’ve tried! My husband does too! Even though it’s just the two of us, I still make the entire dish because we love eating the leftovers!
I have cooked from the ONE a book for two weeks now. Everything has been delicious. Love telling others about these recipes.
So I don’t count Macros or follow a diet. I purchased all three cookbooks because I just flat out love her meals. It is a double win that they are healthy. For those of you who may not follow Macros, this book is still 100% worth it. I actually travel with the One book because at a rental house you never know what kitchen supplies it will have. So this book pretty much allows me to cook easy healthy meals in one dish without worrying about kitchen supplies or a large clean up. Also, I eat more veggies when I follow her recipes which makes me happy!
I 100% recommend these cookbooks (especially One).
I purchased the ONE cookbook and it is everything and more!!!! Just pick a recipe and COOK! All the macros being laid out and everything being in MFP you couldn’t ask for more. Also, not to mention. Everything is DELICIOUS. A real 10/10!!!!!
I have your first book and use like 3-4 recipes from it a week! Not only is the food ALWAYS a crowd pleaser, like even my pickiest eaters but the amount of time I’m saving by making meat and other things earlier in the week that can be used again is insane! I’m spending way less time thinking planning and making dinner!!
I am beyond grateful for coming across Lillie eats and Tells. I was so impressed with the recipes I had tried from the blog it was a no brainer for me to get the ONE cookbook and oh man it did not disappoint. It makes for the yummiest dinners and takes all the pressure off me searching for ideas. I am new to macro counting so the ease of having the info for each recipe to put / search into myfitness pal is an added bonus! I have been recommending this book to all my friends and family’!
Recently bought one and so far I’ve made 7 recipes! Every single one was a hit! I used to make my husband and I separate meals every night because he never wanted the healthy stuff I was eating, but this has changed that and now I make us the same thing! It’s honestly changed and simplified my life so much! So grateful to Lillie for making such a great cookbook!
My family has been LIVING off of these cookbooks. There is seriously something for everyone and has made it so much easier to enjoy meals with the family while being still having the ability to count macros. Cannot recommend them enough!
