Make-Ahead Meals for Busy Moms Cookbook Giveaway

As a full-time working mom, I'm very hard pressed for time and rarely cook dinner every night. I often fix our week day dinners in bulk during the weekend and we re-heat the left overs throughout the week. Truth of the matter is that the meals aren't always that healthy and get boring. Not to mention the once a week frozen pizza or restaurant visit that we do because we're bored with the left overs.

Jane Doiron author of Make-Ahead Meals for Busy Moms has put together a fabulous "how to" cookbook to help us save time in the kitchen and spend more time doing what we love...spending time with our families! I love that her recipes include not only prep and cooking instruction but also the freezing and reheating instructions. Not only are the recipes time saver but money savers which is something I think everyone needs a little help with.

This past holiday weekend I gave a few of  her recipes a try. I admit that I'm no Sara Snow or Rachael Ray but I made some mean dishes for Christmas. I used her Bruschetta recipe which was quick and easy (however, I did add mozzarella to the top and melted it...delicious!) I also made several loaves of her Hawaiian bread that we gave to all of our aunts and uncles for Christmas. Again, the bread was delicious, fast, and fun to make. I also had all the needed ingredients to make the Hawaiian Bread already in my pantry so I didn't have to go and buy anything (with the exception of the holiday baking tins that I used).

I know all of you are just as busy as I am...some probably more so. I think this cookbook is definitely worth your time and money because it can help you save both!

Buy It: Make-Ahead Meals for Busy Moms is available for purchase on Amazon.com for around $16 (new). You can also purchase a printable electronic version for $12.
