Real life isn’t a series of stylized air-brushed photos. It’s crazy, chaotic, beautiful, and funny, and it can knock you right off balance. But cooking and eating as a family has always been at real life’s core. Making sure your family is fed makes a day a success, and truly taking the time to give them something wholesome and delicious is the ultimate pleasure. Looking for fun, fresh, and quick recipes? Look no further than Real Life Dinners!

The author, Rachel Hollis is the founder of The Chic Site, a lifestyleblog. She is also the author of Upscale Downhome and New York Times bestseller Girl, Wash Your Face: Stop Believing the Lies About Who You Are so You Can Become Who You Were Meant to Be.

Based on meals Hollis makes for her hungry husband, three sons, and baby daughter, Real Life Dinners is with over 80 photos and recipes. Some of these recipes include Freeze-Ahead Breakfast Burritos, Crispy Sweet Potato Bake, Southwestern Breakfast Scramble, Loaded Lentil Salad, and Roasted Ranch Cauliflower. While I personally don’t eat meat, I can easily switch out the meat with plant-based products for recipes like Dr. Pepper Pulled Pork, Spicy Beef Enchilada Soup, and Slow Cooker Barbacoa!
