Make-Ahead Meals For Busy Moms Cookbook Review & {GIVEAWAY!!}

If you are anything like me, the last thing I want to do after a long day of changing diapers, cleaning house, and doing the laundry is to cook dinner. At the end of the day, I would rather cuddle up with my husband and play with our sweet little boy. With that said, my family does enjoy a home cooked meal and I feel great when the food I make is enjoyed. Jane Doiron, author or Make-Ahead Meals For Busy Moms, has made it possible for all moms to be that "super mom" they want to be.

Stuffed Mushrooms
Bruschetta
