The easiest way to make dinner work in a real-life household — when some family members may be vegetarian and others eat a standard diet.
This cookbook gives you practical, flexible, everyday recipes designed for families who are tired of cooking two separate dinners just to keep everyone fed.
Inside, you’ll find simple shared-base meals that split into personalized plates at the end — one vegetarian, one meat protein — so everyone gets what they want without doubling your time, energy, or dishes.
Every recipe is built with:
minimal cleanup
real, accessible ingredients
short, doable steps
cozy flavors
a vegetarian version
a vegetarian version
a calm, grounded kitchen energy

A simple introduction to the One Dinner, Two Plates system.
This free 3-recipe mini-cookbook walks you through exactly how shared-base meals work. Each recipe begins with a single base — one pot, one sheet pan, or one skillet — and then splits into a vegetarian option and a standard-diet option with minimal extra steps.
Perfect for households where one person eats meat and one doesn’t, or for families trying to simplify weekly meals without sacrificing flavor or ease.
Inside you’ll find:
3 complete shared-base dinners
clear instructions for both plates
ingredients that overlap to save time and money
realistic, weeknight-friendly meat

is the creator of the One Dinner → Two Plates method, a simple system that helps mixed-diet households enjoy one shared meal without cooking twice.
For the past six years, Lindsey has cooked nightly for a vegetarian + standard-diet family of five, juggling different preferences while raising three children and trying to keep evenings calm and manageable.
After years of doubling recipes, doubling dishes, and feeling like a short-order cook in her own home, she realized the problem wasn’t the people — it was the system.
So she created a new one.
Her shared-base, split-finish approach makes dinner easier, faster, and far less stressful, with flexible recipes designed for real life, real families, and real weeknights.
Through her cookbooks and simple meal systems, Lindsey’s mission is to help families reclaim peaceful, doable dinners — no matter how their household eats.
