The LORAfied Cookbook: Easy Recipes and Budget-Friendly Hacks to Feed the Whole Family
Make every mealtime a breeze with over 100 simple, "fancy yet frugal” recipes and household hacks from LORAfied’s Lora McLaughlin Peterson
Do you have salt and pepper in your kitchen? Are you looking for quick and easy recipes that don’t cost a fortune to make? Then this book is for you!
Cooking trends may come and go, but the appeal of recipes promising a quicker, easier route to dinnertime never grows old. Lora McLaughlin Peterson has been feeding her family balanced meals daily for over thirty years, so she knows all too well how a seemingly simple “30-minute one-pan wonder” can still leave us exhausted by not accounting for hidden tasks, such as chopping, rummaging through cabinets, or clean-up afterward. This is why she created LORAfied, a digital media company that helps people do life better on a budget.
Her cookbook shares simple, quick, “fancy yet frugal” recipes, like Energy Muffins, Waldorf-Inspired Chicken Salad, Mini Donut Cheeseburgers, and Potato Chip Cookies, and recipe hacks for making french toast, mashed potatoes, corn, and more with ease. With low-hassle recipes, household hacks, and lifestyle tips, this book makes life easier, brighter, and more delicious—all without breaking the bank.

I ordered this book months ago, and the moment it arrived I read it cover to cover. The attention to detail is incredible—from the embossed lettering on the spine to the beautiful fabric texture of the cover itself. Every recipe is thoughtfully presented, and even the choice of plates, silverware, and cloth napkins makes the dishes feel like they’re coming to life right off the page. This book is as stunning visually as it is inspiring to cook from.
Just from following her I make a lot of her recipes and I’m so excited to make more. Never in my life have I read a cookbook cover to cover.
