![Danielle Walker's Healthy in a Hurry: Real Life. Real Food. Real Fast. [A Gluten-Free, Grain-Free & Dairy-Free Cookbook]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/91PU7QO6EiL._AC_UL140_SR140,140_.jpg)
First of all, eating any kind of special diet is hard. And an adjustment. It's a hard adjustment. Add in a husband raised on Southern cooking and 2 young kids and my autoimmune disorder and you have a family with very different expectations for what's on their plate.
I have tried MANY different cookbooks as I've tried to clean up my health. But, I've also always prided myself on being a pretty great cook. It's my craft - I just ENJOY seeing others enjoy what I've made. But it's hard to see my family try to choke down offal and bone broth (standard AIP fare) on my behalf. I started to think my kids would never get to say, "My Mom makes the best..." which is a small price to pay if you're healthy, but it would still be nice to have everyone enjoy what you make.
But this book.... this one.... I CAN eat the food in it and my family WANTS to eat it. Finally! Danielle Walker has young children and from the descriptions of the dishes in the book, she was raised on Campbell's Cream of Mushroom casseroles like SO many of us. She has worked really hard to try to emulate what a traditional home-cooked meal tastes like without compromising your health. There is also a make-ahead-and-freeze section. As I'm expecting Baby #3, I'm eager to start prepping for when the newest little one comes. I was worried that in those frenzied first few months I would have to relapse into unhealthy habits when well-meaning neighbors dropped a casserole off. Now I'll have some wonderful alternatives to enjoy without creating an autoimmune flare-up in the process!
So if you are new to this diet, it may feel daunting at first like with any cookbook. There are many ingredients that are not on the standard American grocery list. But once you conquer that first grocery trip for arrowroot powder and ghee, you'll be in business! I stepped into this world 6 months ago and I feel better in every sense of the word. Eczema disappeared, thyroid function is improving, I can stay awake throughout the day and sleep well at night.... I'm a better wife, mother, daughter... life is just better when you're healthy. And when you have yummy food on your plate!
In summary, I'm just grateful for this book! It's brought some normalcy back to our lives since I was diagnosed with my autoimmune disorder. I can't wait to try Celebrations next! Holidays are such a challenge when you have dietary restrictions -- it'll be great to be able to feel confident that you will make it through the holidays without relapsing AND everyone will truly enjoy what you are serving.

Game Changer!!!
This book has completely changed our lifestyle. My husband has a heart condition and is very allergic to gluten. My son has a very aggressive autoimmune disorder that requires chemotherapy. I've made it a priority to research all of my foods and create an anti-inflammatory diet for my family. The only issue I was having was my husband and son were not enjoying most of the foods I was preparing. Danielle's recipes are easy to follow, utilizes nutritious ingredients that fit our dietary needs, and are just pure delicious. I'm no chef, but I have been able to execute all of her recipes so far, and my family loves them. The thing I love most about this book is that she repeatedly uses the same main ingredients in multiple recipes. So when you buy coconut aminos, don't fret, you will use them again and they are great! Make the investment and get this book. You will feel empowered in the kitchen, I promise. My husband and I both take turns cooking and our son even helps. These are no 10 minute hamburger helper meals. So if you are looking for that, go somewhere else. But if you want to invest in a healthier lifestyle that doesn't compromise taste, look no further. My son is 3 and helps us in the kitchen. We are taking life a bit slower and incorporating meal prep into our family time. Meals range from 40 min on average to an hour to prepare. Making a loaf of banana bread takes me 10 minutes to prepare from scratch now and my family is delighted. We have two of her books and will be purchasing the rest. There are so many healthy cook books out there, which is great, but this is the first one that has worked for my family and we know we can maintain this healthy lifestyle for years to come without getting burned out.

Ok I will start off by saying I almost NEVER write reviews.... but sometimes when something is so life changing you feel compelled to tell the world! My 3 year old was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in October. She was hospitalized for over a week and required blood transfusions, tube feeds through her nose, and steroids. While she was in bed I slept about 0 hours in the week we stayed there. I researched day and night on natural ways to heal my baby. I came across some amazing stories of individuals who found healing through diet and I became obsessed. When we came home I threw out every processed food in the pantry and went head into SCD/Paleo. The first 2 weeks I felt like all I did was cook, and she hated everything I made and we were both crying.... a lot. Then I found Danielle’s cookbooks.... I bought all 4 and I literally felt a weight off my shoulders when I read her story. And surely enough my daughter has been 100% symptom free since we started this lifestyle. This cookbook has become my favorite and I kid you not I bought 13 copies! I gift them to everybody now! I feel so blessed to have her recipes in my life and I feel like everybody else should too! They are not complicated.... and it’s just real, fresh, healthy food that tastes delicious. I would get so sad thinking about how’s my daughter would miss out on the cupcakes, donuts, candy.... not anymore! I bake these things for her and they taste great but I also know she’s not loading her little body with sugar and chemicals. Thank you danielle for giving my girl her life back!!!
