Do you ever find yourself looking for dinner inspiration at the end of the day but without lots of prep time? Maybe you're busy running here and there and it's either fix dinner fast or call for takeout?
If so, this week's Cookbook of the Week, Fast-Fix Meals, is the solution you've been looking for!
Full of homestyle recipes for every meal of the day (and then some!) Fast-Fix Meals offers over 200 tried & true dishes that'll be on the table in 30 minutes or less! Perfect for moms & grandma's on the go, over-scheduled sisters, busy best friends...in fact, is there anyone you know who WOULDN'T like to spend less time cooking and more time enjoying a hearty meal with family & friends?
Let's take a look at all EIGHT chapters inside this kitchen essential...
One of the things that we love most about this book - aside from how quick everything is! - are the three dedicated chapters to soups, sandwiches and salads. We love a big family meal as much as the next mom but sometimes you don't need all the bells and whistles on the dinner table. These chapters let you keep it simple while still serving a satisfying meal to your family.
Whether you put your stovetop skillet to work, throw together a meal from just what's in your pantry or whip up a warm & filling casserole to pop in the oven, Fast-Fix Meals is where you'll find the quickest recipes.
Don't forget dessert either...the sweet chapter at the end of this book is full of shortcuts to make 'em smile. Ready to try one of these yummy treats? Here's a sample recipe from the Desserts in a Jiffy chapter!
Kim's Peach Cobbler
Shared with us by Beth Smith of Manchester, Michigan, this recipe comes together quick and only bakes for 20 minutes! Kim writes, "When I was first married, a co-worker shared this easy dessert with me. She has since moved on, but I'll always remember her every time I make this cobbler. Share a recipe and be remembered forever!"
