Delicious, stress-free meals for busy families, with flexible solutions for any dietary need, from food entrepreneur Rachel Mansfield.

Balancing a full plate of responsibilities—from work to home to kids—can be a handful. Add cooking three wholesome meals a day (plus snacks), and it can feel downright impossible. Social media may make it look effortless, but the truth is, it’s not. More, Please! is here to help you feel less overwhelmed. With family-approved, kid-friendly meals, freezable options, and dietary flexibility to make the recipes gluten-free, dairy-free, refined-sugar free, and more, this book is the time-saving kitchen companion every busy parent needs.

Food entrepreneur Rachel Mansfield @RachlMansfield has accumulated more than 1.5 million followers from sharing her inspiring approach to family meals, which are as delicious as they are doable. As a mother of three boys, she knows firsthand how important it is to find smart shortcuts without sacrificing flavor. Featuring stress-free, repeatable recipes, this cookbook isn’t organized by traditional meals, as Rachel understands that every day does not look the same in a busy household. Instead, More, Please! offers quick, reliable solutions for any time of day with chapters like Not-So-Boring Chicken or Yes, You Can Cook Fish.

Morning recipes such as High-Protein Cinnamon Raisin Quick Bagels can double as snacks, while versatile bowls like Crispy Rice Bowl with Ginger Sesame Dressing help keep energy up all day. You’ll find approachable fish options including One-Skillet Lemony Shrimp and Baked Shrimp Cakes with Avocado Corn Salsa, craveable chicken dishes such as Chicken Parmesan-Stuffed Sweet Potatoes, and various ground meat recipes like tacos, meatballs, or casseroles. You’ll also find low-effort one-sheet pan meals like Go-To Nacho Night Nachos, including many ways to cook a box of pasta like One-Skillet Cheesy Pizza Mac & Cheese. Sweet tooth? Discover treats like Sneaky Green Smoothie Pancakes and Chocolate Chip Cookie Granola that are so good you might eat them for breakfast too. Plus, Rachel includes a multipurpose section of condiments, sauces, and sides to elevate your cooking with ease.

While this book isn't for me and I wasn't really interested in most of the recipes in this book, I can absolutely see this being amazing for a family that needs quick and easy recipes for them and their kids. For me though, it just didn't do it.

I received a copy of this eBook from netGalley for a honest review.

This book made me hungry and feel strongly capable of being able to make these meals. The food look so good and seemed so easy to make that I really want to own this family friendly cookbook.

I can't wait to share this with my coworker who is gluten-free. "Normal" and kid-friendly GF recipes for the win!

I recently picked up this cookbook, and honestly, it wasn’t my favorite. While there are some interesting recipes, I don’t see myself using most of them regularly. That said, there are a few standout dishes I do want to try. The high-protein cinnamon raisin quick bagels caught my eye—they seem perfect for a tasty, healthy breakfast on busy mornings. The not-too-sweet, healthy muffins also look appealing as a nutritious snack option. I’m also intrigued by the chipotle-style chicken burrito bowls; they seem flavorful and satisfying. Lastly, the chicken noodle soup appears comforting and easy to make, which is always a plus. Overall, while this cookbook isn’t a must-have for me, I’ve found a handful of recipes that I’d definitely give a shot.
