When I was a new mom, I was thankful to have a very useful cookbook called Make-a-Mix Cookery. This gem contained recipes for such things as homemade pancake mix, muffin mixes, and seasoning mixes. In addition to these practical mixes, the ladies behind Make-a-Mix Cookery provided recipes for frozen meat and vegetable mixes, cooked in bulk and packaged in family sized servings. Just add pasta or rice for a quick and hearty family meal. These books helped make meal planning a breeze! Good time management, planning and cooking ahead can free you for more home teaching time, but don’t forget that all that food preparation is another great learning opportunity…
