Fast and slow mains feature pasta sauces on "zoodles" (zucchini noodles) and "squashta" (squash pasta), assorted tacos, poultry and meat dishes, fish and seafood, and meatless meals. There are also side dishes and desserts. Recipes have icons indicating cooking speed, and are helpfully labeled as vegetarian, gluten free, dairy free, or freezable. "Fast Cooking Basics" and "Slow Cooker Secrets" contain useful tips for time management, and there is even a complete month of pre-planned "good for you meals." These easy-to-assemble dishes keep both family mealtime planning and healthy eating in mind with kid-friendly, "simplified and skinny-fied" dishes.
