Believe me – I have tried and tried!! Publishers simply don’t like to spend the extra time (albeit minimal) to calculate nutritionals for recipes. That takes time and manpower and that means more money. Plus, it takes up more space which means more pages, more money, etc. I’ve also heard publishers say that it doesn’t affect sales of books. I’m sorry to say that, so far, my arm twisting hasn’t yielded any results. And that’s a true shame because my recipes have awsome nutritionals.

I will continue to push with each new book I write!!

Robin, please push the publisher to include nutritional information. Since my husband and I both have high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol, I will not buy a cook book anymore if it doesn’t have it. I used to buy a lot of cookbooks but you don’t find that many with nutritional info. I know it takes more time but there are online sights now that will calculate it for you if you enter the recipe. It only takes a few lines to list the basics – cal, sodium, fat, carbs, sugar and protein for each recipe.

Thanks for the tip; you were right that we didn’t even miss them in this recipe. I bet they do add a nice flavor, though!
Thanks again!!

For the chicken curry, you can easily leave the chickpeas out! You won’t miss a thing, trust me. The tomatoes add a nice contrast to the curry flavor. For more ideas, if it you want to make a soup or stew with leftover chicken, and you don’t want to add beans, add about ¼ cup of couscous (the larger, Israeli couscous is awesome). That will add nice texture and body! I hope that helps! And be sure to check out “Robin Rescues Dinner”, my latest cookbook with 400 recipes and lots of fabulous morphing ideas!!!

Hi Robin,
I love Quick Fix Meals, and look forward to checking out your newer books. I made the chicken the other night and am thinking about which morph I’m going to make. Alas, my husband doesn’t like chickpeas (or BEANS); can you suggest a substitution?
Thank you!

Thanks for the kind words and I’m glad you enjoy the recipes! I would love to put the nutritional information with the recipes (and in my cookbooks), but it’s simply not always my decision. I suppose I could “railroad” it through with publishers and perhaps Food Network, but consider this: I am a nutritionist and food writer, meaning I constantly strive to create wholesome dishes that contain a bounty of nutrients while keeping calories, fat, sodium, and trans fats in check. I also try to avoid anything artificial and/or fake! I cook the same way for my family and I never analyze the recipes for nutrient content in my own kitchen. Why? I’ve been writing healthy recipes for 20 years and I feel confident that my dishes are healthy, satisfying and nutritious! Thanks again for your comments!

I love the show and use many of the recipes..I just wish you could list the nutrtional info for us on the recipes. My family adores the garlic lime chicken recipe and the mexican lasagne that follows it! Thanks for helping busy families keep dinner at the family table where it belongs. I believe the show helps keep families bonded and parents less stressed. Please consider nutritional posts, it can only help us even more!!

The recipes should be on the Food Network website. Simply type in Robin Miller and then the air date of the show with the recipes you want. They should be there and they’re super yummy!

As for the “dirty” comment, I continually wash my hands on the show. Perhaps they edited most of it out. I am a complete germ-phobe in my own kitchen and would never cross-contaminate.
