Getting dinner on the table after a homeschool day

Getting dinner on the table is easy with this cookbook!

I first heard about this cookbook from The Minimal Mom, and immediately went to my library's app to reserve a copy. Unfortunately, I was number 146 on the wait list so I went ahead and bought it on Kindle. Wow, was this book worth the price!




Cook Once Eat All Week gives you three easy and flavorful dishes that can be prepped in about an hour once a week.

Tonight we're having a baked dish with a base of polenta that is topped with kale, then shredded beef and topped with caramelized onions. Yum! This is our third round of using Week 15 of this cookbook. A total of 26 "weeks" are included, but I prefer to have some repeats!

What about modifying these recipes for a hot homeschool lunch? This week we took the Barbacoa-Stuffed Poblanos (we substituted green bell peppers) and split it into two pans, which is the perfect portion for two homeschool lunches. We ate one pan on Tuesday and another today.
