Dinner time can sometimes be a bit?challenging?and overwhelming for the busy moms and dads who have to?think about what to prepare?for their families on a daily basis. I?ll admit! Although I do enjoy cooking most of the time, there are those days when I don?t have a clue of what to?fix or simply do NOT have the energy.? Since we do not eat out often, I find myself over the stove just about everday.? The problem I?m facing is that I find myself preparing the same ole dishes over and over again -which is why I am always on the lookout for new meal planning ideas and recipes.
I recently had the opportunity to review a copy of Make-Ahead Meals for Busy Moms by author Jane Doiron .? Jane?s book is ideal for those who are looking to save time in the kitchen and spend more time doing what we love…being with and enjoying?our families!? Her?concept is simple and just?perfect for us busy moms and dads.
The recipes are organized nicely into categories and include appetizers, main dishes, side dishes, soups, breakfast and brunch, and desserts.
What I like about this Cookbook:
- The recipes are easy to follow and delicious!
- Recipes can be frozen or made ahead of time.This method works perfectly on those crazy busy, just don?t wanna cook days.
- Works great for a busy mom or day schedule
- Jane offers lots of great helpful hint and tips
- Did I say the recipes were DELICIOUS
