Taste of Home Make Ahead Comfort Foods: Prep-Now Eat-Later Recipes

From the Publisher: 252 Comfort Foods Offering Prep-Now/Eat-Later Appeal

This all-new cookbook is your most-used kitchen helper, whether you're a tried-and-true meal planner or simply like to keep a hearty entrée in the freezer for hectic nights.

Look for handy icons that spotlight which recipes are freezer-friendly (and include re-heating directions); take advantage of the slow cooker; or set up in the refrigerator overnight. These at-a-glance icons make it easy to find the perfect recipe for your needs.

An entire chapter of dishes that help you cook once and eat twice make this book worth the purchase. Prepare two hearty dishes of Cheese-Stuffed Shells—one for the table and one for the freezer. Or, make tasty Company Pot Roast one night, then use up the extras by preparing Beef Fried Rice the next day. Bake Bourbon-Spiced Glazed Ham on Sunday then whip up Ham and Broccoli Cornbread on Monday. Two great meals; zero leftovers!

Dozens of Tips & Hints for Working Ahead are provided, with callouts that offer easy ideas for using up leftovers and instructions for advance prep—whether you assemble in advance to cook later, precook for easy reheating, or freeze the ultimate in last-minute convenience. What could be easier than using up recipes' leftovers?

The book also includes a Frozen Foods 101 & Storage Secrets section, which will help you save time and money when you know how to stock your freezer and fridge with comfort foods.
