Gravity Cakes is a beautiful new cookbook featuring jaw-dropping, how-is-that-even-possible? cakes.

There’s a cake for nearly every occasion and holiday - from Valentine’s Day to Christmas, from a scrumptious deep-dish pizza to a sushi meal (pictured below).

Five-Spice Riblets with Sticky Rice and Apple Slaw Recipe from BOWLS OF PLENTY >> goo.gl/4Ns8la

As a busy mom, even one who works in the food world, I often find myself at a loss for what to make for dinner. I want it to be nourishing, it needs to be pretty (my mom taught me to "eat a rainbow" at every meal), but most importantly I want it to be something my family will love eating. "Bowl food" fits the bill, plus it's fun to have your whole meal in one cozy vessel.

When I came across BOWLS OF PLENTY: Recipes for Healthy and Delicious Whole-Grain Meals, a new cookbook by James Beard award-winning author Carolynn Carreño, I knew I'd hit the dinner dilemma-solving jackpot: more than 75 internationally inspired recipes for every meal of the day, all of which are convenient, flexible, satiating, and gorgeous. Each one-dish meal is filled with layers of wholesomeness starting with a grain, then followed with colorful veggies and meats, and more. It's a cookbook for everyone on every diet as each inventive recipe can easily be made meatless, gluten or dairy-free, so the combination possibilities are virtually endless.

Easy Roasted Beets with Quinoa Recipe >> goo.gl/45onv7

This simple dish of roasted beets and quinoa is packed with good-for-you ingredients, plus it will give you a power boost of protein and iron. Quinoa is one of the most protein-rich foods we can eat, and if you're cutting back on or eliminating meat from your diet then swap in more of this delicious grain (though technically a seed). This savory dish is easy to prepare: simply roast beets until tender, finely chop then mash them with a fork or give them a whiz in a food processor, and mix them up with cooked quinoa. This dish is excellent served as a side or in a salad. We love it on a bed of lightly dressed arugula!

Get a FREE Jar of Organic Coconut Oil from Thrive Market! >> goo.gl/roKrEi

Even if you haven’t started cooking with coconut oil yet, you’ve probably heard of it. The pure white oil has become a household name for the health-conscious, and it’s popping up in recipes for everything from stir-fry to vegan fudge. Coconut oil is the “it” ingredient of the moment. If you’re not a fan of the flavor, I know at least nine other ways to use it - see some ideas below. The beauty benefits alone will earn it a new spot in your medicine cabinet!

Because coconut oil is ultra-moisturizing, it’s perfect for everything from DIY body scrubs to hair masks. Rub a dollop of it on your skin to see what I mean. It’ll leave you feeling baby-soft, and it’s all-natural, unlike a lot of lotions out there. During these cold winter months my skin gets desert-dry, so to combat this I use coconut oil on my skin every night. If you suffer from dry skin, too, try it out!

Check out a few of the ways I’ve incorporated it into my daily routine. I guarantee you’ll be loving it, too.

• In a stir fry or quick sauté

• As a butter substitute in baking

• To make raw chocolate bars

• In a supercharged smoothie

• In bulletproof coffee

• Spread on toast

• In oil pulling

• As a moisturizer

• As a leave-in conditioner

• As lip balm

• To soothe itchy skin or bug bites

• As a natural treatment for lice

• To relieve the pain of a sore throat

• In a DIY body butter

• As a makeup remover
