Homemade on a Weeknight is the debut Cookbook from Estelle Forrest.

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.

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’!
