None of the Nonsense, All of the Flavor

Prepare delicious meals with this no-frills, all-flavor recipe collection from Jessica Secrest, the wildly popular home chef known for her hostile humor and affordable recipes. Her long-awaited debut cookbook has an array of mouthwatering meals that focus on low-effort ingredients and techniques--think pre-shredded cheese, tater tots galore, and your handy-dandy slow cooker--so you'll have an endless source of recipes to feed your family without wasting time or money.

Jessica's well-known style is present throughout each page, loudly guiding you in the kitchen and reminding you that tasty cooking doesn't always need to be done with a smile. Recipes include:

- The BEST Baked Mac and Cheese

- Fried Pickle Quesadillas
- Sloppy Joe Fries
- Slow Cooker Spinach Artichoke Dip

Whether you are looking to tackle weeknight dinner, Sunday breakfast, or an out-of-nowhere dessert craving, you'll have Jessica in your corner each step of the way, aggressively reminding you that no matter what you create, there's no doubt it'll be good.


Jessica Secrest is a mom, home chef, and the creator of the popular social media page @applesauceandadhd. She's been featured on Good Morning America, ABC News, and The Drew Barrymore Show. She resides in Grand Rapids, Michigan with her very needy family.
