Where's My Spatula?: Fast, Healthy Meals for When Your Kitchen or Your Life Is a Mess

When life comes at you fast – take a deep breath, pick up this cookbook, and let Christy Rost's fresh, easy-to-prepare recipes relieve your stress and brighten your day.

Christy developed the 100+ fast, easy, nutritious recipes for Where's My Spatula? while she coped with preparing satisfying meals for her family during a major restoration and renovation of "Swan's Nest", her recently purchased historic home in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Though her days were full of meetings with contractors and hands-on restoration projects with her husband Randy, and her temporary kitchen was the size of a postage stamp, Christy still fervently believed that dinner is the time to slow down and gather with family or friends – no matter what else is happening in your life. The result is a cookbook that makes it possible to get dinner on the table in 20, 30, or 40 minutes. With recipes like Fifteen-Minute Pork Chops with Cabernet Reduction, Beef and Vegetable Skewers with Hoisin Barbecue Sauce, Oven-Baked Molasses Barbecued Chicken Breasts, Penne Pomodoro with Roasted Bell Pepper Sauce, and Sautéed Pears with Vanilla-Brown Sugar Sauce, driving through the fast-food lane isn't even an option!
