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.

Speedy Hoisin Wraps

Summer is busy—so dinner needs to be fast. This recipe fits the bill with just four ingredients, none of them made by you. (adapted from Martha Stewart)

3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
1 cup hoisin sauce
chopped scallions
8 large flour tortillas

Place chicken in a microwavable dish and heat for 1-2 minutes. Stir in the hoisin sauce and scallions. Warm tortillas according to package directions. Take a big spoonful of chicken and spread over each tortilla. Roll and serve.

*You could skip the scallions here if your kids are finicky about green stuff. Try adding slivered almonds instead.
