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
Format: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
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
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 Delicious Recipes Can Be Prepared In Advance May 17, 2010
Format:Paperback
Make Ahead Meals for Busy Moms is a cookbook, packed with 140 delicious recipes that can be prepared ahead of time and cooked when needed. What I like best about this book is that the only ingredients that the author recommends freezing, are the ones that will taste just as good thawed as fresh. She recognizes that some foods do not taste as good when they are thawed, so in those instances she helps us understand how to get the chopping, dicing, and other basic prep out of the way before storing foods in the refrigerator. The book isn't so much about SAVING time as it doing the work when you HAVE time. That way, when you need a meal, it can be whipped up quickly and easily.
