More About the Author

I am a wife, mother of two grown sons, an elementary school teacher, and a true foodie.

My passion for cooking has evolved into the publication of my first cookbook, Make-Ahead Meals for Busy Moms. I found that despite my love of cooking, I was often tired after work and lacked the motivation to produce a great meal day after day. In search of a better way, I turned my family-favorite meals into make-ahead meals.

Through years of experimenting with my recipes in the kitchen, I learned what meals tasted just as great after being frozen and what meals were not acceptable to freeze. While some meals didn't freeze well, they allowed for preparation the night before, ultimately saving time the following day. The recipes in my book include make-ahead directions for main dishes, appetizers, side dishes, breads, desserts and soups. I am hopeful that many busy moms will find my make-ahead recipes both beneficial and delicious, which will be the ultimate compliment to this cook!

2.0 out of 5 stars Buy another book instead, December 29, 2009
This review is from: Make Ahead Meals for Busy Moms (Paperback)
Perhaps "Don't Panic, dinners in the freezer" would be a better selection. This book is a misnomer- it doesn't help you plan ahead for more than 24 hours. Anyone can figure out to do their prep work in advance then store the food in the fridge. Other negative aspects
1. no photos
2. recipes include things like "Cheese Whiz"
3. directions are for one meal at a time, (to save time- I like to make more than one meal)
4. very large type (could be a plus for some people- it make me dizzy)
5. baking instructions are for odd sized pans

I will donate this book to the library- not worth the shelf space.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not What I need!, June 21, 2010

This review is from: Make Ahead Meals for Busy Moms (Paperback)
This book is not what I need. It gives you recipes that are partially made a day ahead. I am looking for recipes that come out of the freezer. If I have time a day ahead, I'll just make the recipe. The recipes themselves are the usual ones that we have had forever and if you cook, you know what you can do ahead of time. There is not one recipe in this book that I am glad I have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Make ahead Meals for Busy Moms Cookbook, June 9, 2010
This review is from: Make Ahead Meals for Busy Moms (Paperback)
If you have kids, or a job or even just a life you are most likely a busy Mom! When you are on the run and don't know what to make for dinner, this is a great cookbook with simple yet satisfying meals to prepare
that your kids will be begging for seconds. We also love that it has conversion charts in the back of the book for those days you just can't think straight with kids screaming in the background!
So many delicious recipes to make for quick meals or a treat to take
to the new neighbors moving in. We have loved all the recipes we have tried in the book so far... to name just a few we made her delicious Chicken Cordon Blue and chocolaty melt in your mouth fudge! I am so not
a cook, and my presentation is far from spectacular but all that matters is that it tasted fabulous...right!The kids love to be in the Kitchen whenever I am cooking, and love to help. They had fun making
the Fudge with me..(their request) and watching it transform from a sugar & marshmallow mixture to some sweet tooth goodness!Its great when you can find a good recipe like this one you aren't afraid to share with your
friends & neighbors...and it will never go to waste! We had it gone by the next day! A great cook book to have on hand, and I love that it doesn't have lots of unusual ingredients that I don't keep on hand, or can not find in our small town, definitely a great buy!
