Busy Moms Weeknight Favorites

I love this cookbook! There is a picture for every recipe. Not only are these time-saving recipes for every busy parent but it give you a shopping list along the side of each recipe as well as ideas for sides with each entree. Every kitchen should have this cookbook on hand!!!!

As the mom of 2 year old twins I am always looking for quick and EASY recipes. I LOVE this cookbook. I have made several of the recipes and my picky eater has even liked them. I also love the fact that the ingredients are items I can find at my local small chain grocery store. The best part....each recipe has a picture!

While helping a friend with her newborn twins, I made a few recipes out of the Busy Mom's Weeknight Favorites that she received as a gift but had not tried yet. There are so many great recipes, I just had to go buy my own copy. We loved the Bistro Chicken Pizza and the Butternut Squah and Bacon soup. The recipes are quick, easy, and taste great. Extraordinary cooking skills and elaborate ingredients are not required. Most recipes are a tasty twist on classic recipes that make you think 'Well why didn't I think to try that.' Each recipe has a beautiful picture to show you what you are making.

In "Southern Living Busy Moms Weeknight Favorites", Elizabeth Taliaferro has compiled 130 suppers suitable for family dinners. Each of these dinners is complete with a menu, a grocery list, nutrition information, and dependable, 'kitchen cook friendly' recipes. These easy-to-prepare dinners are especially notable for how quickly they can be put together making them ideal for time-stressed wives and mothers. Beautifully illustrated throughout with full-color photographs, the dishes range from Monte Cristo Sandwiches (Preparation time 10 minutes, cooking time 12 minutes); to Hearty Brunswick Stew (preparation time 5 minutes, cooking time 25 minutes); to Tuscan Pork Chops (preparation time 6 minutes, cooking time 11 minutes); to Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Thighs (preparation time 20 minutes, cooking time 60 minutes). Each one of these 130 suppers present palate pleasing, appetite satisfying, gourmet quality dishes that will grace any family table any night of the week.
