Farmhouse Weeknights: Quick and Wholesome Recipes for Dinner - Hardcover

by Melissa Bahen (Author)

Melissa Bahen's Farmhouse Weeknights has over 80 nutritious recipes to help busy home cooks get dinner on the table in an hour or less, every night, for their hungry families.

"What's for dinner?" No matter who we are, what stage of life we are in, or where we live, we all have to deal with this question--every day. We need a book that has the answers!

Farmhouse Weeknights: Quick and Wholesome Recipes for Dinner takes the brainwork out of deciding on your family's dinner plan. Melissa Bahen offers a compilation of time-tested, wholesome comfort-food recipes straight from the kitchen in her farmhouse to your table. This cookbook focuses on fresh ingredients and making meals from scratch, but it also embraces smart shortcuts and time-saving tips that will help readers get dinner on the table with less work. Every recipe in the book carries the promise of having dinner ready in under an hour (except for slow-cooker recipes that only require prep time and are then hands-off all day), comes with serving suggestions to make a complete meal, and has a list of time savers.

You will find recipes for breakfast for dinner; soups; salads; sandwiches; pastas; slow-cooker main courses; skillets, sheet pans, and bakes; and after-dinner treats.
