A Weeks Worth Cookbook
Finding it difficult to put together a meal after a long day
of working, doctors appointments and soccer practice? You
are not alone. The dinner hour is perhaps the only time when
families can spend a little time together, getting to know
each other and talking about their day before it is time for
homework and bed. Putting dinner on the table can become a
burden though, and if it does, then it can very easily go by
the wayside. In order to make mealtime a priority without it
becoming an impossibility, getting organized in the kitchen
is key. Heidi Lobato’s A Week’s Worth Cookbook is the answer
for anyone who has to put a meal on the table for a hungry
family on a daily basis.
A Week’s Worth Cookbook features 25 weekly meal plans in a
handy, three-ring binder. Recipes are primarily for main
dishes, and are simple and delicious. Prep time is generally
about 30 minutes; perfect for busy families. But there is
something special about this book: the grocery list. At the
end of each weekly meal plan is a shopping list that
includes exactly what you will need to prepare the meals on
the meal plan. Exact quantities are listed, so you won’t
overbuy. A simple-to-read recipe key tells you what meal the
ingredients are for. And a list of variations give lower-fat
or less expensive alternatives. All this guarantees that you
will always have the stuff on hand to make the meals listed,
and will save you many last-minute trips to the grocery
store and probably a fair amount of money, too!
In addition to the cookbook, custom meal plans are also
available. Simply send five or six of your favorite recipes
via email or USPS to
busyweekcook@aol.com and they will send a custom
weekly meal plan complete with a grocery list to add to your
binder. And if you find you need a new grocery list, all you
have to do is ask. One will be sent to you at any time for
free. Available only online. For ordering information, check

Easy Crock Pot Roast
Medium size chuck roast
One can of Cream of Mushroom or Golden Mushroom Soup
(Cream of Mushroom makes a creamier gravy)
One soup can of water
One envelope of Lipton Onion Soup Mix
Sliced carrots (optional)
Place thawed roast in the crock pot. Mix soup, water and
envelope of onion soup mix in a bowl. Pour over roast. Add
carrots if you wish. Cook on high for four to six hours.
Simple, eh? Tastes great, and if you are lucky and have
leftovers, the meat makes great shredded beef tacos or
sandwiches the next day. |
