Homemade Convenience Foods Book Review and Giveaway!


(Please read through the post to find out about the giveaway and special offer for Blessed Homemaking readers).


 As a busy momma who loves to cook homemade meals, I am always looking for a way to save time in the kitchen.  I spend a lot of time there making the healthiest meals possible.  If you have children, or even if you just cook for yourself and your husband, you probably would love to learn a way to save time in meal preparation.

Research shows that the average woman has spent 50,000 hours in her kitchen by the age of 45!
Marcia Washburn developed a system that allows her to have homemade, nutritious food on the table in 15 minutes or less.  Homemade Convenience Foods saves both time and money and works with her sample recipes as well as your own favorites.  In Homemade Convenience Foods, Marcia shares exactly how she cuts meal preparation time down to a minimum.  This isn't a method to throw something together with packaged foods, and it isn't once a month cooking marathons either.

I enjoyed learning some ways to save time in the kitchen.  Even though I don't cook the same way as Marcia (I don't use the microwave to ever make meals, but it is not required to use the book or her method), her ways to save time in the kitchen can easily be used for anyone and for most recipes too.  I learned some very valuable time-savers to help me in the kitchen.  The book has two sections.  In the first section, The Method, Marcia teaches you how to stock your freezer, cupboard, and refrigerator pantries.  The second section is a recipes section with ground beef, sausage, pork, kid-friendly, beef, poultry, and bread mix recipes.

Marcia Washburn has generously offered to give away 1 printed copy of  Homemade Convenience Foods to a Blessed Homemaking reader.  To enter, just leave a comment!  And for this giveaway I am going to offer additional entries in a little different way.  To get additional entries, please stop by every day until September 1st and leave an additional comment on this post!  (Don't forget to leave your email address if you don't have a blog).  This giveaway will end September 1st.

Be sure to come back the next few days, because I will be reviewing more of Marcia's books and there will be more giveaways!
