Beautiful Things

Sunday is about the only day of the week that I really enjoy cooking. Why? Because it’s a day when I can leisurely  cook, roast a chicken in the oven, make soup, bake cookies. It’s not rushed and it’s simply enjoyable.

Recently I’ve taken to doing extra cooking on Sundays. Spending a few hours making casseroles, lasagnas then storing them in the freezer makes for some easier weeknight meals.

Some of my favorite make-ahead meals include chicken divan, stuffed shells, veggie lasagna, chicken cornbread casserole, tortilla soup, chili and meatballs. I also have a yummy make-ahead mashed potato recipe that freezes well.

If you  have a busy week coming up, try my Sunday cooking trick. It really helps and it’s so much better than eating take-out or fast food on busy nights.
