Jennifer knows that with typical hectic lifestyles, it
can be difficult to make time for the family to enjoy meals
and activities together. In Kitchen Coach: Family Meals, she
shows you how to get the family involved in meal preparation
so it's a team effort, and even shares ideas to help your
family find its cooking style. Jennifer gives you efficient
techniques, creative recipes, and lots of great tips. More
importantly, she inspires you to enjoy cooking.
Jennifer encourages you to lose yourself in the
sensory experience of cooking�the sound of onions sizzling
in the pan, the scent of breakfast bacon, the aroma of
chicken roasting in the oven. She tells you how to stock a
pantry so you'll be prepared. She "codes" recipes with
meal-planning cues so you'll know at a glance which are Easy
Preparation, Take-Along, No Cooking Needed, Make-Ahead,
Freezer-Ready, Ready & Waiting, and Something Special.
And she gives you ideas that will fit any schedule and any
occasion. The 160 family-tested recipes for
stress-free, everyday cooking span the full range of a day's
meals, from breakfast to dinner and from appetizers to
desserts. Special Encore sections help you turn leftovers
into sumptuous dishes such as Chicken and Yogurt Pitas, and
Pork or Beef Enchiladas. Make-Ahead recipes encourage you to
prepare extra and freeze family favorites like Turkey &
Green Chile Enchilada Pie, Stuffed Flank Steak with Roasted
Peppers & Feta Cheese, and Corned Beef Hash. One-Dish
Meals such as Grandma's Baked Spaghetti, Mandarin Orange
Turkey Saut�, and Spicy Scalloped Ham and Potatoes let you
serve great meals with minimum fuss and mess. A
mom herself, Jennifer includes recipes and ideas to use when
your children want to cook, or when you want to make
something special just for them. Follow her lead and help
them make English Muffin Pizzas, S'Mores in a Blanket,
Peanut Butter Bananas on a Stick, and more. The kids will
love pitching in and will enjoy every bite. Each
chapter offers practical ideas and solutions for planning
and preparing meals, and each recipe has tips on ingredients
or techniques that will help you build your culinary skills
as you go. Before long, you'll be confident enough to
improvise! So don't let daily hassles keep you from enjoying
your own home cooking. Prepare and eat delicious meals
together, with the help of the Kitchen Coach.
