If you're like most women I know or even men - because some of them do all the cooking - you're multitasking big time, juggling a family and job, and trying to please everyone. That's one reason I decided to start my food blog.
I don't believe making meals should take up all your free time, let alone cleaning up afterward. In fact, I think meals should be easy to prepare, fun to make and eat, delicious and nutritious with minimal cleanup.
They should leave you and your family looking forward to dinner and leave plenty of time for fun afterward. Too often, after a long day of working, fast food sounds like the answer to a prayer, but fast food doesn't have the nutrients or flavors these homemade recipes offer.
Fast food often costs more than you'd spend on a home-cooked meal! I want to change your perception of cooking, just like mine changed after I decided to take charge of my kitchen.
Do a little research on making mealtime a pleasure rather than a pain; you have to get through to rest a bit for the evening finally. (Or, occasionally, before you throw in a load of laundry, assist the kids with their homework or do whatever else needs to be done after a busy day.)
It took a little time to gather and test these recipes, but it was well spent. I've done much research for you, so you can enjoy the same luxury of serving easy, inexpensive, healthy meals as I do now.
Fast food no longer sounds nearly as enticing unless it's a soft serve cone dipped in sprinkles or chocolate….then, maybe a bit!
You'll find recipes that are easy to make and taste fantastic. You'll also find some of my favorite foods, ones I've eaten in restaurants when I've traveled or one's friends introduced to me when I was their guest.
While many of these are delicious, some are also very time-consuming, and I include them only because they taste so good.
I save these recipes for times I feel like cooking something special. In addition, almost all my recipes are simple to make and use ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen.
I've also included recipes you can make in bulk and freeze for a quick meal down the road and ones you can use for the leftovers to make a different meal the next night. You'll find some delightful family treats that take only a few minutes.
Best of all, these recipes don't come from a package or a fast-food drive-through window, which means you know exactly what's in every dish.
You'll find some old favorites that have been tweaked and made fresh and new. All the recipes prove that you don't have to spend a lot of time and money to have both nutritious and delicious meals.
