Hi,
Lisa here! I can hardly believe it, but Simply 6 is my THIRTEENTH Hungry Girl book. And lucky you, because it’s the one with the EASIEST (and quite possibly the most delicious) recipes of all! Here are six simple things you might not know about me … and about this book!
1. I LOVE simple and easy recipes.
When I started sending Hungry Girl daily emails back in 2004, my goal was to create ridiculously easy and delicious recipes. Many of the early recipes were so simple that they were actually more like food assembly! It’s always been a goal of mine to make better-for-you recipes that anyone (and I mean ANYONE!) can make. I think this book delivers in spades, and you’re going to LOVE it …
2. FUN FACT: When I was younger, I would flip through cookbook recipes that looked appealing …
… then immediately put the book down because it featured weird ingredients or complicated instructions. I simply did not want to deal with anything challenging in the kitchen. (I still don’t!) My recipes are super easy and make people who think they’re kitchen klutzes feel like chefs. It makes the Hungry Girl brand relatable and attainable, and I’m really proud of that!
3. After 12 books, I knew it was finally time to put together a collection of fast and easy recipes with very few ingredients for the audience.
It’s what everyone has been asking for! Every recipe in this cookbook has six (or fewer!) main ingredients. You’ll find future classics, family favorites, and simplified versions of dishes you could never imagine making with only six ingredients.
4. Sometimes, I play favorites.
In this book, my favorite recipe may be the Eggplant Lasagna … or it could be Instant-Pot Honey BBQ Meatballs … or possibly the Greek Z’paghetti or the Garlic Knots … AHHHH! I love too many to pick just one.
5. I’m an information junkie, so here are some important stats for you.
Every recipe in this book has less than 375 calories per serving. More than half of them will take you 30 minutes or less to prepare … and two dozen of those take 15 minutes or less! A whopping 18 of the recipes require NO COOKING AT ALL, 95 are GLUTEN-FREE, 91 of them are VEGETARIAN, and 147 are 100% DELICIOUS (that’s ALL of them, don’t worry!).
6. I truly couldn’t be more excited about bringing these recipes to you.
They’re incredibly delicious and easy, and I can’t wait for you to try them. Once you do, please let me know how you like ’em! I always love to hear from you, and I welcome all feedback, so please don’t be shy. Send me an email at suggest@hungry-girl.com. I read every single email!
Happy chewing!!!
Lisa :)

FAQs
What does Simply 6 mean?
It simply means each of these recipes calls for SIX (or fewer!) main ingredients.
What doesn’t count as a main ingredient? Water, ice, basic seasonings, and serving suggestions. Look for the Extra, Extra!
callouts to identify any optional ingredients. You’ll also see the occasional herb garnish in photos. Feel free to garnish your dishes any way you like … or not at all!
Also, the ingredients called for in this book are SUPER-SIMPLE supermarket staples. No pomegranate molasses or organic rose water here!
What makes these recipes all natural?
The recipes in this book feature lots of whole
natural ingredients: lean protein, fruits & veggies, eggs, oats, etc. When it comes to other foods called for in the recipes—like cheese, condiments, and canned goods—each and every one of those is readily available without any artificial ingredients. When in doubt, look for all-natural brands, read the product’s ingredient list, or just stick to a natural food store.
Are these recipes good for diabetics or people on a low-sodium diet?
Remember, I’m not a nutrition professional. (I’m just hungry!) So I don’t offer medical advice related to any dietary conditions. What I can (and WILL!) do, however, is provide full nutritional info for every recipe. The information is carefully calculated and confirmed using reliable databases and countless product labels. This way, you can review each recipe and its nutritional info to determine what works for YOU.
Generally, my recipes are low in added sugar and starchy carbs, and the sodium per serving tops out at 875mg. (For most recipes, the sodium is much lower. Also, there’s a sodium-saving guide here.) And I’ve heard from MANY fans with different dietary requirements that they can make a simple swap here and there so the recipes meet their needs.
Where can I find the WW (formerly Weight Watchers) points values?
I’m a big fan of WW, and I know many of you are too! That’s why my team and I always calculate the points value for each Hungry Girl recipe. At WW’s request—and because the points system has been known to change over time—these values are provided on the Hungry Girl website as opposed to printed in this book …
Visit hungry-girl.com/simply6 for the WW points values*!
*The Freestyle™ SmartPoints® values for these recipes were calculated by Hungry Girl and are not an endorsement or approval of the recipe or its developer by WW International, Inc., the owner of the SmartPoints® trademark.
