Balancing my life seems to get harder and harder as TJ gets older and older. I keep finding myself in a rut when it comes to preparing dinners for my family. I spend most of my time playing and cleaning up after TJ that when it comes time for dinner I keep going back to whatever is the easiest to prepare. Thus, we end up with a very similar menu every week. I recently found a cook book that helps busy moms like me prepare family meals in advance and then pulling them out the next day during dinner time without having to prepare the meal right than. This method of creating and cooking meals has been perfect for my current lifestyle. During TJ’s nap I prepare the meal according the the recipe and put it in the fridge. That night, or the next day, I pull it out and cook it. There is less mess in the evenings to clean up (after a long exhausting day).
Make-Ahead Meals For Busy Moms is written by Jane Doiron, a busy mom who wanted to create meals that could be made ahead of time and frozen, cooked ahead of time and reheated, or assembled ahead of time. The result is a user-friendly, mom-friendly cookbook that every mom should have in their cupboard. Doiron gives us over 15 appetizer recipes, over 20 Breakfast and Brunch recipes, many dessert, main dishes, side dishes and soup recipes to choose from. Take a look at some of these dishes:
Some of our favorites include the Chicken Cannelloni, Broiled Honey Mustard Salmon (so unbelievable easy yet so yummy) and the Mini Cheesecakes (we added a little of the lemon zest as well as the lemon juice and it was delicious). What made these recipes so wonderful is that you don’t have to be intimidate by too many ingredients. You do a lot of the work a day ahead and so it seems to be so simple to do and such a time saver. Make-Ahead Meals for Busy Moms is a must have for any busy working mom to have on hand. You, and your family, will be so grateful that you have it!
