Do you have a recipe book? I use all your recipes and love them id love to support you with purchasing your cookbook.
Thank you, Elizabeth, you are so sweet! I don't have a cookbook yet, but might in the future. 🙂
Hi,
Can I get your weekly menu. I love your recipes! They are so tasty and just are filled with great ingredients
Hi Nancy, if you signed up for my e-mails (which you can do on this page), then you'll automatically get my weekly menu! 🙂 Thank you for such a sweet comment. 🙂
Good Morning Julia,
Curious, are your recipes centered around salads and pasta dishes only? Trying to stay away from pasta and focused on low fat low carb recipes. Awesome blog!
Thank you, Michael, I do have a lot of pastas and salads, but those are not the only recipes I have. I do need to categorize my recipes better so that I can just point you in the right direction with a couple of clicks.
For now, you can check out these recipe collections:
KETO, GLUTEN-FREE, HIGH-PROTEIN Dinners (Recipe Collection)
LOW-CARB, HIGH-PROTEIN Dinners (Recipe Collection)
Julia,
I love your recipes but there is one problem that I have and that is that I am allergic to fish and seafood so I don't get to try all of the recipes. My question is can I trade out chicken, pork or turkey witout much of a problem?
Thank you
Hi Scott, so sorry to hear about your seafood allergy! Yes, most of my seafood recipes can be made with chicken (I recommend using skinless boneless chicken thighs, breasts, or tenders).
Pork should work in many recipes (thinner pork tenderloin medallions for some recipes and bone-in pork chops for others). Here is an example of how I used pork tenderloin medallions in a recipe:

A little joke: when my husband and I go out to eat, the waiters often ask if we have any food allergies, to which my husband usually responds that he is on a see-food diet. Some people don't get it so he goes on to explain: I see food, and I eat it. 🙂
Different delicious recipes are welcome!
My focus right now is on creating a more diverse offering of recipes. Such as grilled recipes, dinner bowls, summer side dishes, appetizers, simple party food.
I discovered you looking for a recipe for dinner tonight! I knew you must be BRILLIANT because I wanted to make EVERY SINGLE ONE! CAN'T WAIT FOR THOSE NEWSLETTERS!!!
Oh wow, you are too kind! 🙂 🙂 I am glad you found my blog, and I hope you try many recipes from it!
These recipes look fantastic and I look forward to getting more!
Thank you, Lynn, I am glad you're here! 🙂
Hello Julia, I think your recipes are simply glorious, not to mention delicious. I have subscribed to your website, but I am wondering whether you have any plans to publish a cookbook? The convenience of a book would be terrific. I think you would really capture the market should you do so and will be your first purchaser!
Thanks and best regards
Sandra, thank you for for your super encouraging and motivational comment - it means so much to me! 🙂 I would love to do a cookbook at some point but I think I still need 2 more years of publishing recipes online to create enough interest (and demand!) for a cookbook. 🙂
Hi, can you send me anything to do with preparing/making salads.
Yes, here are all my salad recipes: https://juliasalbum.com/category/salads/
At 75 years old I am trying to learn how to cook. I have looked at a lot of people who post recipes and I am happy to say that you are one of the ones I keep coming back to and like A LOT!! Thank you so much for sharing.
Wow, Tina, this is the kind of feedback that I just love to read! 🙂 I hope to continue to provide approachable (and not-boring) recipes!
I just love your recipes. Thank you for sharing!
cant wait to try them
Nanette
Thanks, Nanette, you are very kind! 🙂
I am excited to get your recipes and follow! Every single one of them I would absolutely love to make and have as a meal for my family. Super appreciate what you’re doing. Thank you so much.
Thank you, Linda, for being so kind and appreciating my recipes! 🙂 🙂
Have you written a cookbook…..if so, how can l purchase one? Love your recipes!!!
Linda
I don't have a cookbook yet, maybe 2 years down the road! This food blog keeps me plenty busy. 🙂

I am a Registered Nurse and very interested in maintaining the healthy, tasty approach to food. Your approach looks very similar to what a Registered Dietitian - who is trained in diseases and the prevention approach. I look forward to seeing what you have to offer!
Wow, Christine, that's a huge compliment to me! 🙂 🙂 I am not a registered dietician, but I do like healthy, well-balanced meals made with whole ingredients!
