Homemade on a Weeknight is the debut Cookbook from Estelle Forrest. The cookbook is designed to help even the busiest of families to make healthy, homemade (often from scratch) meals any day of the week.

And you won’t even have to repeat a recipe for 5 whole months!
Estelle Forrest self-published this cookbook after a lot of playing around in the kitchen. You can purchase your own copy here:

What is Homemade on a Weeknight?
For a lot of families, weeknights are so full of activities—sports, homework, housework, concerts, recitals, appointments, clubs, the list goes on. And we often feel like we must go to a drive-thru, eat some ready-made meal or a quick prep meal from a box. But it really is not true. Most of the reason we feel like we cannot cook homemade or “real” food on a weeknight is that we do not have the right set of tools in our arsenal.
We need good, easy to follow recipes that have regular everyday ingredients. We need a few basic cooking techniques. And we need a plan. That is really all you need to start making homemade dinners every day of the week. Preparing a home cooked meal almost every day of the week is a sure way to get a true sense of accomplishment each day – you get to see your success on a plate!
So, let’s get cookin’!
