Whether you only have twenty minutes or an hour--or something in between--you can deliver a delicious entrée and side dish to the table with these quick, easy, and crowd-pleasing recipes. Organized by "available time" rather than by "kind of dish," this unique cookbook is designed to help the time-conscious cook with dinner planning.
Enjoy "Mac and Cheese with Candied Sausage and Green Peas" from the "20-Minutes or Less" section. You can create a hearty "Vegetable Stew with Blue Corn Chips and Poached Egg" in forty minutes. If you have sixty minutes in the morning to prep, you can make "Sweet and Spicy Turkey Taco Salad" in a slow cooker. And if you've got more time, plan ahead by making easy-to-freeze dinners on the weekend for a quick bake-and-serve weeknight meal.
As a busy mother of four, Kate Otterstrom also makes dinnertime fun with recipes you might not expect could work for dinner--including "Toothpick Appetizers for Dinner" and breakfast favorites like "Slow-Cooker Cheese, Sausage, and Mushroom Strata."
With the ingredients paired side-by-side with the instructions, it is easy to learn a new recipe or pick up where you left off after an interruption. Since Kate is gluten-intolerant herself, each recipe also includes instructions on how to adapt it for a gluten-free option, along with a dedicated space for you to jot down notes for additional variations.
In today's busy world, time is precious, and this cookbook can help you get dinner on the table with however much time you have.
