Who thinks there is not enough time in any given day? I swear – it’s like our days are whooshing away so fast.
Why be in the kitchen all day, every day when you are able to make most of what you cook every day, in a split minute? With Make-Ahead Meals For Busy Moms cookbook, by Jane Doiron, she shows you a huge array of recipes that you can make ahead and cook the next day, or some you can even freeze for a later time’s cooking. I love this entire concept! Where was this cookbook when I was working outside the home full time?
About the cookbook:
Make-ahead meals are a healthy and economical alternative to take-out and preservative filled, pre-packaged foods. With make ahead meal planning, you are making fewer trips to the grocery store, and saving money otherwise spent on unhealthy, take-out and fast foods. It’s simple. Give yourself a break during the hectic weeknights with Jane’s make-ahead meal recipes. Spend the time that you save outside of the kitchen doing something that you enjoy.
Three of our ultimate favorite things in the cookbook are:
- Appetizers: Teriyaki Chicken
- Side Dish: Mashed Potato Casserole
- Who can deny breakfast with Mini Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins?
On each recipe, there is your basic ingredients for the recipe, then under it, it shows what you do a day ahead of what you want to make, directions for freezing and very specific baking directions.
Literally, a 3 step process that is so easy! You can make meals in advance for the entire week and either set them in the fridge for the next day or freeze them to finish baking for later on in the week. You can check out the tasty Table of Contents.
This will help you with your week’s grocery list and is even fantastic for monthly grocery budgeting!
