The DIRTY, LAZY, KETO No Time to Cook Cookbook

Stephanie does it again! I don't know she she continues to churn out one amazing book after another, but I'm here for it. In her latest tome, she delivers recipe after recipe that are quick and easy to make when following a Keto diet. The ingredients are for the most part standard things you would have at home--there are a few specialty ingredients for some recipes, but if you are following Keto, you would be familiar with the products. Her recipes are not fussy or time-consuming--this collection promises you will be eating in under 30 minutes with many being much shorter than that. Another great bunch of recipes!

The new cookbook by the Dirty, Lazy Keto blog author, has recipes for all parts of the meal all quick to prepare. A nice feature is the Table of Contents, which list each recipe and has icons next to it that are quick guides to the dish's characteristics.

I really like that this is a realistic & unfussy approach to keto. You won't find hand-wringing about only using organic, grass-fed meat. Instead, you'll find real-world suggestions for using ready-made foods and making a double batch and freezing it.

A useful book for people who are not on the keto diet and people who are. I am not on the keto diet, and I still found the recipes very useful, especially since they can all be made rapidly, without fuss, and I am always looking for ideas on that score.

I loved Stephanie's other books Dirty, Lazy, Keto; The Dirty, Lazy, Keto Cookbook; and The Dirty, Lazy, Keto Dirt Cheap Cookbook. This one is just as awesome! I have a bunch of new recipes to try!

Talk about good timing! I had been strictly adhering to keto for a few years and then fell away during these strange times of covid. This is the nudge I need to get back into feeling better and to lose weight, too. Though my cooking is often complex (I have a lot of time on my hands!) it's great to see a fresh batch of quick keto recipes for those blah times. It's fired up my imagination and inspired me to return to the keto lifestyle!

Key points are highlighted in yellow. The book is written in a very accessible manner, easy to understand, along with icons describing dishes such as . She explains at the beginning of the book what to eat more of and what to avoid, all the while rooting her readers on and setting us up for success. She also gives ideas for creating a better workspace, organizing time, her top 10 hacks and various other tips such as making/preparing double what you normally would. And then come the recipes. One of my keto struggles (have celiac) is to find breakfast inspiration. Well, the Hot-Footed Homestyle "Potatoes" look fabulous...and aren't what you think! The No Fuss Pho looks delicious as does Step On It Pickle Stackers. In fact, that was our lunch today! Tomorrow's lunch will be Go Go Grilled Cheese...haven't tried this idea before. I cannot wait to try Short Order Sriracha Brussels Sprouts! They'd go splendidly with Clock's Tickin' Vodka Chicken. And the fudge...another great ingredients blend idea.

The back of the book is dedicated to information including calculating carbs and conversions. You will like that the number of net carbs, nutritional information, time involved and tips/options are listed for each recipe.

If you are interested in beginning the keto lifestyle and/or a beginner cook, this is a wonderful place to start. If you are already knowledgeable and an expert cook, this also has many new and interesting ideas.

My sincere thank you to Adams Media and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of this fun and very practical Keto book in exchange for an honest review. Much appreciated.

Well organized with realistic recipes for real people... none of that "use 6 pots, 2 pans, and 8 bowls" garbage I've seen before... I like this a lot.

This is a fun keto cookbook with lots of tasty sounding recipes. The author is very likeable and encouraging, and has maintained a 140 pound weight loss for 8 years so she's well suited to be giving advice. There are lots of color photos and nutritional information is provided. She uses a lot of packaged and processed foods that I don't, but there were still lots of recipes that I am looking forward to trying. This isn't my favorite keto cookbook but it's one of the better ones I've read.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for review.

I've collected all the Dirty Lazy Keto books and adore them and this is a WONDERFUL addition. Getting ready to celebrate 2 years on Keto and almost 200 pounds gone for good and the Laskas have been a huge part of this journey. Can't wait to add this book to my personal library as well as the growing Keto portion of my public Library. I loved all the tips and tricks in this volume. I was able to try out many recipes with favorites being No Fuss Pho, the green bean casserole, Naan Now, oh and the alfredo soup (so good!!)

While I am still new to the Keto Lifestyle, I am always fascinated by people who cook and prepare recipes that are so delicious. So this Dirty, Lazy, Keto Cookbook is right up my alley. It did not disappoint either. I was thrilled to read some of the "Kitchen Tips" so that meal prep and cooking is kept to 30 minutes start to finish! Stephanie and William Laska have put together a great cookbook with recipes that cover all kinds of meats, vegetables, desserts and more.

Learning about how to cook Keto style is challenging without some expert help. I would call these two experts and have tried several of the recipes. They are all delicious, easy to prepare and leave you feeling very satisfied. I would recommend this book to anyone who is contemplating a Keto Lifestyle in their future.

This book will be published in Feb. 2021 and I would highly recommend that you book mark that date on your calendars, so you won't miss it.

This book was made available to me through the Netgalley.com group.

This cookbook had a wide variety of recipes for all ability levels, some of which I'm really excited to try out. The format is accessible and the nutritional information is included with net carbs right at the top. This is a good resource for anyone looking to add variety to their low carb lifestyle.

I enjoyed reading this book and there are lots of yummy but keto recipes. They all seem easy to make and the photos look very appetizing. I'm excited to try some of these recipes! I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review

Keto this, Keto that. Keto seems to be THE in way of eating right now and there ear eno shortage of books on the topic. This cookbook is another, but what I love most about it is the author herself has lost a ton of weight on it and shares her tips and recipes. From breakfast to soups to quesadillas and more, she has you covered.

One of the things I love most is that the author acknowledges that dirty Keto isn’t for everyone. With that said, there are still a bunch of recipes in here that you CAN make even if you are eating strict Keto! Kudos on that!

This is the perfect cookbook for the holidays and winter, when life can be so busy. I am loving the cozy goodness from these recipes, and so far I have tried two. They were both easy to make, and turned out great- my whole family enjoyed them both, and that is NO SMALL MIRACLE with two children in our house.

I am going to continue to make these recipes and will definitely recommend this to my keto neighborhood friends- they are going to love it! I really couldn't ask for more from a cookbook- give me healthy recipes, and give me my time back from cooking all night in the kitchen. WIN-WIN from this one!

I am currently researching the Keto Diet. My plan is to start the diet at the beginning of the new year. Like most, I don't always feel like, or have the time to spend hours in the kitchen preparing meals. I was intrigued by the title, "The DIRTY, LAZY, KETO No Time To Cook Cookbook by Stephanie and William Laska. In reviewing the book, I was excited to see a wide variety of recipes that will take not more than 30 minutes to prepare. As with anything new, it will take planning to insure that you have the ingredients needed on hand. I'm fine with that, as I am a planner. Up until now, I felt that the Keto Diet was limiting in what you could eat. This cookbook proved me wrong. I'm excited to try out these recipes.

Stephanie Laska, one of the authors, has lost 140 pounds, and has kept the weight off for 8 years!! Having someone who is a Keto Diet expert, is another reason I feel confident about trying this diet and these recipes.

If you are new or an expert to the Keto Diet, this cookbook is a must have!

The DIRTY, LAZY, KETO No Time to Cook Cookbook
100 Easy Recipes Ready in under 30 Minutes
by Stephanie Laska; William Laska
has lots of energy. Stephanie's personality shines through, making it a fun reading.
It sounds like a cookbook with a story, when the author views her previous food life with keto eyes. Whats healthy and unhealthy. On the left side are shockingly true low net carb numbers of the recipe. When I saw the first one, I thought it was supposed to read 15 but it is 1g. I had to train my brain to read those numbers.
many varieties of dishes that you would like normally which can be now be had keto.
Have the main ingredients ready, get ready for a keto ride.

Thank you NetGalley for my arc. This is a well organized cookbook with plenty of recipes I want to try out!

I'm new to Keto dieting and have found myself feeling better already. However, I was getting bored with my options. This cookbook opens up a large variety that I think readers will be surprised by. The tips are excellent and the recipes easy to follow. The authors experience shines through and adds a bit of a support system to encourage readers. There are a lot of Keto books out there but this one stands out. Highly recommend no matter where you are in your lifestyle journey.

There were a lot of great recipes in this book. I appreciated that the ingredients were basic, easy to find items and that the recipes were not complicated. There were many family friendly recipes to make cooking healthy for a family easy.

The DIRTY, LAZY, KETO No Time to Cook Cookbook is a kitchen must have! Stephanie Laska is a talented chef, recipe creator and one of the funniest writers I have read. How could you not love an author who admits that “From second grade to my second marriage, I tended to weigh more that anyone else in the room”? And now she’s lost 140 lbs. and kept it off. How? By following what she calls a flexible, honest approach to weight loss. This is a no excuses cookbook. All of these delicious, gorgeously photographed meals can be made in 30 minutes or less.

In the introduction to each of these recipes, Stephanie explains why she created these dishes. There are also tips and options, giving substitution ideas, suggesting uses for leftovers and more. A guide indicates, among others, that the recipe uses only one pot, makes enough for two or is vegetarian. I’m looking forward to trying No Fuss Pho, Lightning Speed Salad and Thai Time Crunch Salad first. Stephanie and her co-author and husband William Laska have written another unique, creative cookbook for Keto dieters and everyone else! 5 stars.

Thank you to NetGalley, Adams Media and Stephanie and William Laska for this ARC.

The DIRTY, LAZY, KETO No Time to Cook Cookbook is is a new tutorial and recipe collection for keto cooks in a hurry. Due out 5th Jan 2021 from Simon & Schuster on their Adams Media imprint, it's 224 pages and will be available in paperback and ebook formats. The authors have several other "Dirty Lazy Keto" cookbooks in the same series and with similar formats. This one has an emphasis on quick preparation and simple presentation.

The introduction covers the basics of the keto lifestyle/diet, including a basic primer on ketosis, macronutrients, tips, ingredients, tools, supplies, how-to, pantry lists and shopping tips, along with an inspiring author background bio. She emphasizes that it's not necessary to spend a ton of money and track every mouthful to be successful at weight loss and maintenance. I found her encouraging and you-can-do-it style of writing engaging and fun. There's also a short, concise subchapter on food handling and safety, which was welcome.

The following chapters include the recipes arranged roughly by category: breakfast, soups & salads, snacks, pizza, side dishes, main dishes, and desserts & drinks. The table of contents lists each recipe along with symbols giving a visual guide to different real-life situations (recipes for "hangry" moments, for picky eaters, lacto-ovo vegetarian-ish dishes, superstar keto dishes etc - quite humorous but also *true*).

Ingredient measurements are supplied in American standard measurements only. There's a conversion chart for metric measures in the appendices. The prep times, net carbs, servings, and tips and options are listed in well laid out sidebars. The ingredients are listed in a bullet list followed by step by step directions. The author does recommend real-world timesavers like using premade taco powder (the recipes rely heavily on premade (often precooked) ingredients - this is *not* slow cooking from scratch). Allied recipes (included) are referenced in the recipes to save time by using leftovers from one recipe in another recipe. The recipes are drawn from a surprisingly broad number of world cuisines - Asian, southwestern, Tex-Mex, Cajun, European, etc.

Inspiring real life quotes and thoughts are highlighted in yellow in the text, giving readers an extra little boost. Some readers might find the cheerleading over the top, but I found the author's voice very encouraging and friendly. I found myself thinking "wow, she really gets it".

This really felt like a keto-friendly cookbook for me: short on time/money, impatient with impossible-to-source "weird" ingredients, and cooking for myself and a family of non-keto eaters. I found it impressive and pretty easy to follow. A small real-life occurrence - my endocrinologist said at my last visit I was his ONLY patient who had actually gone DOWN in weight since lockdown. That made me feel good.

Five stars. I really like (and use) this entire series of cookbooks. One codicil, there are very few pictures included in the book. The dishes and serving suggestions which are included are attractive and appropriate, however.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes

I really enjoyed this cookbook. It was broken down really well and is very easy for someone researching or beginning keto to understand. I loved how it showed that while many may chose the route of strict keto that there are ways to incorporate dirty keto and still lose weight, maintain your weight loss or just lead a healthier lifestyle. The pictures are such great bonus as it lets you see exactly the types of food you'll be preparing.

I will definitely be adding this to my cookbook collection!!

**Received ARC through NetGalley. Voluntarily reviewed**

This cookbook is unique in that it is written by an individual who has utilized these principles and recipes to lose weight. As explained in the beginning of this cookbook, this author used "keto" eating principles to lose over 140 pounds and keep it off for over 8 years. This cookbook provides delicious and easy to make recipes that will assist one in their keto journey. Each of the 100 recipes have less than 10 net grams of carbs and can be created in less than 30 minutes- a lifesaver for working moms everywhere. This cookbook provides recipes based upon the keto way of eating that are uncomplicated and inexpensive. Recipes are provided in each of the following topics: breakfast, soups and salads, snacks, breads and pizza, sides, main dishes, drinks, and desserts. This cookbook provides recipes to meet all needs within a household, including picky eaters. I highly recommend this cookbook. Not only are the recipes delicious and easy to make, they are also provided with designations in the cookbook such as: a "twofer" recipe meaning that you can make extra and use part of it for another meal. Another type of recipe included is "less mess" meaning that you can make the entire recipe in one bowl with minimal cleanup. This cookbook is a realistic, easy to use cookbook with delicious recipes.

Reading the cute names of the recipes almost made me not take this book seriously. However, I actually read through the book and focused on the recipes. I have recently discovered a gluten intolerance. The keto diet embraces a lack of wheat in my diet. I can't wait to try some of the alternatives like the tortilla replacements. Most diet cookbooks use too many ingredients and take too much time. This book would fit my lifestyle of working with a family to feed. I also appreciated the restructured food pyramid. I don't like counting anything for a diet. I like the author recommending to just watch total carbs.

Dirty, Lazy, Keto Cookbook a fun remedy
Posted on January 12, 2021 by michellelovatosbookreviews, world's first book color commentator
It is the new year and billions of us are dieting … again. Never fear. Stephanie Laska, MEd, and William Laska have just the right kind of dieting cookbook for you.
The Dirty, Lazy, No Time to Cook, Keto Cookbook is here. This book includes 100 easy recipes ready in under 30 minutes. And those recipes are good.
Stephanie Laska, who lost 140 pounds following this dieting format, believes in her product and believes in the body’s ability to reverse its health conditions with proper food. The best part about the Laskas’ beliefs is getting it done fast.
This cookbook is a unique twist on the traditional diet approach. Though she believes in using nutritious, whole-food, like so many other traditional diet cookbook authors, Laska also believes in obtaining the right tools for the job of preparing meals and having those tools conveniently located alongside her menus ready-to-cook-with ingredients. The Laskas spend a decent amount of time talking to cookbook readers about how to organize their cook space and lifestyle to make the cooking process fast and easy.
Pretty novel idea. But admittedly, probably not one most people will actually follow-through and complete.
Laska’s recipes are not only time-inspired but also family-friendly, as she raised two children through the time she lost her 140 pounds, and understands the value and need to accommodate the crew. And it certainly doesn’t hurt to have a husband on board to follow the keto plan along with his wife.
Among the Laskas magic 100 recipes are Double-Quick Double-Chocolate Chaffles, Thai Time Crunch Salad, Procrastinator Pizza Casserole, Hurried Jalapeno Holla Casserole, and Asian-Inspired Take-Out Tacos.
In addition to these recipes, the Laskas present symbols alongside each recipe in the table of contents to help fast cooks determine if they want to make a generous recipe for use another day; one that offers a minimal mess; meals that fill the hungry tummy; those for picky eaters; those recipes “fancy enough for guests” and those that are vegetarian-ish.
The Laskas say this book is flexible, honest, and a real-world approach to losing weight while existing normally – all in 30-minute modules.
I am not a giant cookbook fan. I am not a giant fan of cooking at all. In fact, I prefer to find my meals in packages that say Poke and, five-pound bag of apples. But this cookbook is a different approach and I found myself intrigued with some of these ideas.
One nice thing about a cooking aversion is finding a cookbook interesting enough to try. And, this one might be my next delve into experimenting with food.
Stephanie and William Laska have four previous titles published in 2020 and 2018 and are all keto-diet related.

Like the other Dirty Lazy Keto cookbooks, I really enjoyed this one. It's easy to find what you're looking for and also provides an overview to make it easier to follow keto in whatever way makes sense for your lifestyle. There are lots of pictures that are always a bonus.

I either tried or will be trying some really great recipes like:
Stopwatch Spanish Rice
Onion Run Rings
Time Pressure Cooker Beef Stew
Drive Thru Nuggets with Wasabi Ranch Dip
Presto Chicken Parmesan
EZ Zoodle Noodle "Spaghetti"
BAM! Bacon Burgers
Grab & Go Chicken Breasts (great idea to cook ahead of time for other meals)
... and so many more!

Pretty fantastic info & recipes.
The "minute mug omelet" is a morning game changer.
I've switched to doing 21 day fix and portioning instead of keto, but several of these will still work if the dairy is omitted.

Another great Keto cookbook! I loved the variety of new recipes in here as well as simple preparation tips and short cuts to make Keto a little less labor intensive. The chicken satay and peanut sauce are on my meal plan for this coming week!! Beautiful pictures, great variety, really great nutritional break down. Definitely an awesome resource for anyone keto or low carb.

The guidelines and recipes are very well prepared with information. Easy to understand and follow to have a healthy meal for any time of the day for a healthy life living in keto. A wonderful resource!

I really love Dirty Lazy Keto by Stephanie Laska: William Laska. Her no-nonsense approach to cooking, shopping and managing a busy life all while attempting to serve yourself and your family healthy, nutritious and low carb meals makes this book a must have. The illustrations are colorful and enticing, and the recipes are well thought out and planned. Each page is filled with lots of nutritional information, how to's, and food fact trivia to support the recipe. I think if you are trying to live the Keto lifestyle, you will appreciate her book, and her humor!

I received an ARC of this from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I requested this novel for a few reasons. One, to jump back on the keto train because it works. Two, I needed fresh inspiration and much needed motivation since cooking isn’t my favourite thing to do and I don’t have an abundance of time. Keto can seem very daunting because of all the planning involved so it’s hard for me to stick to it. This book does a great job of breaking things up and putting them into manageable buckets.
There’s lots of great dialogue, tips and tricks, recipes which also can be repurposed if you have leftovers, and many of them take under 30 minutes and use similar ingredients. I should add that the recipes call for pretty standard ingredients; you’re not going to waste time at the grocery store trying to hunt down some obscure stuff.
I am definitely looking forward to experimenting with these recipes!

I've been cooking for less than 5 years and I am already in a constant struggle of what to cook next, so I really can't wait to try out some of these recipes. Some of them even sound like they are made with all the ingredience available to me where I live :D

This is an excellent cookbook for all people that are living the keto lifestyle. The recipes are quick and easy and they taste so good. I tried many of the recipes in the book and will purchase this book to continue making keto recipes and meals from this book.

I really enjoyed reading this book and applying it to my diet and lifestyle regimen. It's inspiring and life changing. This author helps me to see that this lifestyle change is worth it. There are many tips and recipes on making the lifestyle change. Some of the stories are funny and so relatable, too.

This cookbook was very inspiring and I truly really enjoyed reading the personal journey of the author while trying to incorporate keto changes to my lifestyle.

The recipes are terrific easy to follow and the book is just down right fun to read. I can honestly relate to the struggle n this cookbook keeps it real. I definitely recommend it if you need a but if humor with your keto.

Just the kind of quick and easy recipes I like! Filled with sure to please recipes for even the pickiest palate.

This is the second 'dirty, lazy, keto' book written by Stephanie amd William laska that I have read. I enjoy their personalities (especially the cleverness shown by their recipe names) and feel that they really understand how hard keto can be for people. Their dirty & lazy approach is much simpler and just as effective. I look forward to reading their other books and trying out their recipes.

Great book to shake up family meals, I really liked the recipes & look forward to trying them all

Will be sharing my new found skills with my family & friends

Stephanie Laska's cookbooks are always a great place to start when going Keto. The recipes are easy and there is no crazy weird ingredients that a lot of keto recipes seem to have. She makes the lifestyle doable in a way that is refreshing. I can't wait to recommend this cookbooks to patrons.

What a great cookbook! The material is well written and presented in an easy to follow manner. I look forward to trying out several of these recipes.

These recipes are quick, easy, and tasty! Our favorite is the jalapeno casserole. My kids ask me to make it all the time. I will continue to be a loyal follower of the Dirty, Lazy, Keto way of eating.

I have been on a weight loss journey for a few years now and sadly I am currently stalled. What does one do when what has been working is no longer working? You search for other avenues, which has led me to keto. While keto didn't work for me due to other medical conditions that prevented me from benefiting from the low carb lifestyle, I did find some valuable resources that can still aid in my weight loss endeavors while not adopting the entire keto lifestyle as a whole, which breaking me to The Dirty, Lazy Keto series.

Stephanie Laska, one of the authors of this series, has always struggled with weight herself, which instantly made The Dirty, Lazy Keto No Time to Cook Cookbook relatable. Stephanie understands my struggles, which connected me, making me want to do something I normally hate to do: cook.

Each recipe in this book can be made in thirty minutes or less, which definitely speaks to those of us that do not have a passion for the kitchen, and makes the recipes not feel as overwhelming as other recipes do. The names of each recipe are adorable, and the shortcuts for food prep, as well as the actual execution, were extremely helpful.

Above all, I loved that it's all so simple and laid out for you! Plus, it is repeated multiple times that you are to start where you are, go at your own pace, and modify the plan to make it your own. I love that it's not your typical cookie cutter recipe book and shows beginners like myself how to set up a good workstation, and even easy cleaning tips that come in handy, and are easily adoptable.

I've tried a few of the breakfast recipes and so far they've been easy and delicious! I have shied away from the ones with ingredients I do not have on hand, but do have a list of the recipes I want to try in the future. I haven't read too many other keto recipe books, so I do not have much of a basis for comparison, but I think The Dirty, Lazy Keto No Time to Cook Cookbook is a great addition to your keto arsenal.
