A Working Mom's Meal Plan

The hardest part of my day is when we get home and everyone is immediately hungry. I love to cook and prefer
home-cooked meals, but I don't like to cook much during the work week. And yet, dinner has to get on the table...
My solution: make-ahead meals, freeze-ahead meals and recipes so easy that I'll make them on a Monday. I cook
mostly on the weekends, always doubling recipes, and rely heavily on my extra freezer and a decently-stocked pantry.
This cooking style saves me time and money, and it makes my life simpler—so I can actually enjoy sitting down
to supper at 6 with my family. I hope these recipes will make the witching hour a little better at your house too.

Broccoli Cheddar Bake

What to make when you haven't been to the grocery store lately. And kids think it's fun to have breakfast for dinner. (adapted from allrecipes.com)

3 eggs, beaten slightly
3/4 cup Bisquick mix
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup shredded cheddar
small onion, diced
small box frozen broccoli, thawed slightly

Lightly grease pie plate. Mix eggs, Bisquick and milk in a bowl until well combined. Stir in cheese, onion and broccoli. Pour into pie plate.

Bake at 350 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes, or until middle is set.

*Could substitute other types of veggies and cheese (spinach/gruyere would be good), or add cooked bacon or sausage. Serve with buttered toast.
