#1 New York Times bestselling authors Fox & Friends cohost Steve Doocy and his wife, Kathy, share more delightful stories and delicious recipes that are simple and stress-free. 

What’s better than serving your family food they rave about? Keeping it simple, of course! Sure, there are times when you want to spend all day noodling around in the kitchen, but most days we want more oomph with less effort. In The Simply Happy Cookbook, Steve Doocy and his wife, Kathy, provide more than a hundred recipes for their favorite dishes that are just as comforting to make as they are to eat—using fewer ingredients, simpler preparations, and less time in the kitchen.

Just as in their previous two cookbooks, they share family photos and stories along with their recipes, so the time and energy saved in the kitchen can be put toward what’s important—reading charming and funny stories about their family and (sometimes famous) friends.

The Doocys offer recipes for every occasion, including appetizers, breakfast, sandwiches, sides, casseroles, slow cooker meals, pasta, pizza, and desserts, so you’re covered no matter what you’re looking to make. Some of their low-effort, all-American comfort dishes include:

• Maple Bacon Cinnamon Rolls
• Lasagna Grilled Cheese Sandwich
• Buffalo Chicken Pot Pie
• Single Skilled Shrimp and Cheesy Grits
• Bacon and Burst Tomato Tortellini
• Pretzel Crust Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie

Perfect for low-stress solo dinner prep, or for luring the cooking-averse into the kitchen to create happy memories around more than just the dinner table, The Simply Happy Cookbook is sure to please.
