About the Author

With 4 kids, a large extended family, and a passion for feeding others, Annalise is no stranger to finding ways to simplify life in the kitchen. There is nothing that makes her happier than hearing from someone who was once intimidated in the kitchen “I made this! It was great, and now I’m feeling more confident in trying more homemade recipes!”

Annalise spends her time in the kitchen and exploring the beautiful Olympic Peninsula of Washington, where she lives, with her family. If you want to find her, look in her kitchen, or at one of the many beautiful beaches nearby watching her children play and combing for beach glass!

My Review:

I really love to cook and bake. I love to look for cookbooks that have a variety of recipes that are simple, healthy and something we like to eat. I was very excited to get The Make-Ahead Kitchen. It has all kinds of recipes – including breakfast, soups and salads, main meals and desserts.

One of the things that really draws me to the Make-Ahead Kitchen is all the great pictures. That always helps me decide what to make. There are also some great recipes – one that I really liked is the Rosemary Chicken Pot Pie – I haven’t made it yet – but it is on my list for the next cool day. Pot Pie is one of my favorite comfort foods. There are so many good looking recipes – here is a few I can’t wait to try; Sour Cream Pumpkin Bread, Loaded Jalapeno Popper Dip, make-ahead Pepperoni Pizza Rolls and slow cooker Pineapple Coconut Chicken Curry just to name a few.

I can see how this book will really help me at night – It will be nice having dinner made. Then all I have to do is bake and eat. What a great way to have healthy meals during the week.

This looks like a great Cookbook! I love using my Slow-Cooker, especially when it’s just too hot to use the oven! The Freezer recipes would be a perfect solution for “What’s for Dinner” I’ll have to check this out on Amazon! Thanks for sharing your great review 🙂
