"Kathleen Ashmore's mission is to empower hungry readers everywhere to serve themselves and their families well and have fun doing it. Rather than focusing on restriction and what we should take off our plates, she asks: What can we add to our plates? After turning to TikTok for a creative outlet, her series of big, meal-in-a-bowl salads, known affectionately as "Hungry Lady Salads," blew up on social media. In her debut cookbook Big Bites, Ashmore shares 110 wholesome, comforting recipes that are big on flavor, nourishment, and fun-and meant to be devoured in big bites! With her signature personality and joy, she envisions "healthy eating" in a new way, with recipes that are abundant, not restrictive, and thoughtful, not complicated. True wellness is about balance and inclusion-you can have both green smoothies and cinnamon rolls! Ashmore wants readers to fall in love with real food, and this cookbook is a celebration of nature and seasonality and encourages home cooks to rethink familiar ingredients"-- Provided by publisher.
