I am wife, mother, author and feelancer. My days tend to fly by at warp speed, so when dinner time rolls around I often find myself frustrated and uninspired. My main issue is I don’t necessarily like the idea that I am responsible for making sure everyone in our house eats. That is a big burden to bear. Not to mention, after a while you run out of stuff to cook.
There was a time when I cooked spaghetti once a week and a balanced meal consisted of baked chicken, corn and green beans. Throw a picky eater in the mix and I just want to scream! Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind cooking- I mean mainly because I like to eat- but I’m impatient and long hours slaving over a hot stove is not my idea of fun. So, recently I’ve started playing around in the kitchen googling recipes and thumbing through cookbooks. I’ve also started planning my meals in advance and I’ll take meat out of the freezer as soon as I wake up in the morning. And it’s been a game changer. All the meals I cook are 30 minutes or less. Unless I’m doing a roast, which I put in the crockpot the night before. I have an Instagram page where I share some of my most successful meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) with quick, prep tips. Follow my page @quickanddelish on Instagram for quick and delish recipe ideas that anyone can prepare!

Happy Read Across America Day and National Reading Month! This month I am excited to be raising money (and awareness) to help a charity that I love, First Book. From their website: First Book provides access to new books for children in need. To date, First Book has distributed more than 135 million books and educational resources to programs and schools serving children from low-income families throughout the United States and Canada. First Book is transforming the lives of children in need and elevating the quality of education by making new, high-quality books available on an ongoing basis. - See more at: https://www.firstbook.org/first-book-story#sthash.wbP9UiOS.dpuf I am an avid reader and I discovered my love of books as a young child. Reading is such an amazing gift and books can not only educate but they can also entertain and provide an escape. It helps children put the world around them in perspective and encourages their dreams. It’s also been proven that children who have books at home and whose parents read to them usually learn to read at an early age. I truly believe literacy is a key to freedom. Help me raise money for First Book by purchasing one of my books or a t-shirt. A portion of the proceeds from all sales will go to First Book. You can purchase my books HERE and HERE. Thank you and read on! |
