I know just how you feel. It's the way I feel most every day. There are so many things we need to do, and too little time to do them all.

Do you want to try making meals ahead of time and popping them in the oven or microwave when it's almost meal-time each day during the week?

How easy is it to take a Saturday or Sunday morning or afternoon to prepare all the various meals you'll need for the week ahead, so they're ready to heat and eat?

Whether you're a stay at home parent or one that works away from home, or even if you're not a parent, you probably are always re-evaluating what's important and trying to find a balance.

The dishes in this cookbook are easy to put together. Some are cooked before freezing, and some are frozen as ingredients, requiring a bit more time to heat/reheat. Nearly all kinds of foods can actually be used in these meals, so it's not that difficult to wonderfully prepare and freeze them ahead of time, in one morning or afternoon of a weekend.

You need fewer things on your to-do list. Try making your meals ahead of time and see how it frees up time you can spend with your family instead of at the stove...
