Book Lovers Club 📚

Hey babes! 💛

April has me in my feels — rainy skies, pastel flowers, a cozy oversized sweater, and a book that I literally can’t put down. I’m talking about Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus, of course.🎧 Audible Link | 📖 Paperback Link

I started this on Audible and… I’m not kidding, I’m OBSESSED. It’s smart, sassy, feminist, emotional, and unexpectedly hilarious. It’s got ✨ layers ✨ and has sparked something in me — especially in the kitchen. 👩‍🍳💫

So naturally, I decided to create healthy, easy recipes inspired by the characters, because this book made me fall in love with cooking again (with a little science on the side 🧪).

Let’s get into it:

🍋 Elizabeth Zott’s Lemon Herb Chickpea Power Bowl

Clean. Bold. Uncomplicated. Just like Elizabeth.This bowl is the definition of substance over fluff. It’s protein-packed, anti-inflammatory, and refreshing — the kind of meal you eat standing at the kitchen counter while contemplating the patriarchy 😌✅ Vegan | Meal prep-friendly | High fiber💻 Try the Recipe

🍳 Calvin Evans’ Cozy Frittata with Roasted Veggies

He’s soft-spoken, brainy, and surprisingly grounding. This warm, oven-baked dish is perfect for a Sunday morning in — the kind of thing you eat while reading a research article and sipping black coffee in your robe.✅ Gluten-free | Hearty but light💻 Make It Here

🌿 Harriet’s Fresh Garden Spring Rolls

Harriet is gentle, nurturing, and loyal — the kind of friend who shows up with snacks and a listening ear. These fresh spring rolls are vibrant, delicate, and bursting with color and crunch, just like her quiet strength.✅ Vegetarian | Great for spring brunches💻 Recipe Tutorial

🥬 Mad’s Wholesome Green Smoothie

Bright, curious, and full of potential — like Mad herself. This one’s sweet, nutrient-packed, and made for the girlies who want to feel put together after a long cry or dance party.✅ Antioxidant-rich | Kid-approved | Great post-workout💻 Blend It Up

🌶️ Miss Frask’s Secret Spicy Lentil Soup

Don’t underestimate her. She might seem rigid, but deep down, she’s layered and complex. This soup is warming, a little fiery, and surprisingly satisfying — kind of like Miss Frask when you finally understand her motives.✅ High-protein | Cozy & comforting | Budget-friendly💻 Steal Her Recipe

🧁 Phil’s Unnecessary Protein Mug Cake

A little offbeat and always trying to prove something 🙄 This protein mug cake looks good but might not be your first choice unless you’re really into gym bro energy. Still, it’s kinda fun to make when you're bored.✅ High-protein | Quick AF | Midnight snackable💻 Find It Here

🐾 6:30’s Peanut Butter Oat Biscuits

Honestly the BEST character in the whole book 😭 This recipe is wholesome, made with clean ingredients, and full of love. Just like 6:30 — loyal, emotionally intelligent, and ridiculously precious.✅ Dog-safe | Human-approved | Easy to bake💻 Bake for Your Pup
