Damn Delicious Meal Prep by Chungah Rhee Cookbook Review

Yum

I was so excited when I heard the Chungah Rhee, the blogger behind the Damn Delicious food blog, was coming out with her second cookbook.  I have been following her blog for years and drooling over her recipes.  I also love following her Instagram account that showcases not only her recipes, but her gorgeous corgi named Butters.  So if you are into good food and an adorable dog-- you will be hooked on her Instagram as well.

Damn Delicious Meal Prep is a beautifully photographed cookbook with 115 easy and healthy recipes.  So if you are looking for meal prep ideas for breakfast, lunch, dinner or snacks, this cookbook has you covered. 

 I must admit, I am not always the best at meal planning and meal prep.  I have been known to sometimes look inside my fridge, pantry and freezer and scratch my head to come up with a dinner meal idea.  I was desperately in need of some inspiration and this book does that brilliantly.  All the dishes look so mouthwatering and the best part they are easy to make or prep ahead for meal time. 

 Personally, I loved all the smoothie recipes. Breakfast is the hardest meal of the day for me to plan for and get enthusiastic about.  I usually get lazy to make a smoothie in the morning because I know I have to gather all the fruits/veggies and ingredients to make it. I simply don't have the time to do that in the morning when I am running around trying to get the kids off to school.   I loved Chungah's idea of prepackaging these healthy smoothie pouches and leaving them in the freezer.  Now morning breakfast is quick and simple because I just pop one out of my freezer and add the liquid recommended in the recipe to blend it all together. I love being able to have a quick and healthy breakfast on the go that did not leave my kitchen looking like a disaster area.  

This book also provides you with ideas for delicious food bowls, mason jar soups and salads and so much more. I loved so many of the dishes, but today I made the Thai Basil Chicken Bowls - http://bit.ly/damndeliciousthaibasilchickenbowl
 
This meal quickly became a family favorite.  I can have it prepped and on the table so quickly that it's easier than getting take-out.  I love that!
