About the Book

Dinner should not be the hardest decision you make all day.

Balanced, unfussy, delicious. That’s Well Fed.

What are we eating tonight? It's one question with a hundred little decisions tucked inside it. What's in the fridge? What's in the pantry? How much time do I have? How much energy? That's a lot to figure out before dinner has even begun.

In Well Fed, you will find simple protein- and fiber-forward answers to this universal conundrum. Beloved content creator and mom Ereka Vetrini sets you up for nights when everything comes together. With 100 approachable recipes designed for real life, she helps you create small yet mighty wins: nourishing lean proteins that come together on a sheet pan or the grill; versatile sauces you can whisk together while the oven preheats; big, crisp salads hearty enough to be dinner; and comforting soups pulled from the freezer. Well Fed is about helping you make these nights the norm.

With gorgeous, inspiring photography, Well Fed includes everything you need to build balanced meals, including:

All-in-One Dinners: Lazy Hot Honey Chicken; Green Goddess Stuffed Sole

Easy & Elegant (Enough): Date Night Steak Night; Panko-Crusted Salmon with Creamy Red Pepper Sauce

Pasta on Purpose: All-Green Crispy-Edge Sheet Pan Lasagna; "Meaty" Mushroom Bolognese

Extra Veggies (or Actual Lunch): Bright Spring Asparagus & Peas; Crispy Lemon Parm Potatoes

Something Sweet: Cherry Mascarpone Trifle; Cannoli, But Pie

Only Ereka Vetrini, with the practical magic of a busy mom and the dinner know-how of a Mediterranean woman, could make cooking such good food so easy and enjoyable.
