Thankfully for me, my sister in law Katie and her husband moved here around the time I was starting to learn. Katie is a great resource for me. She answers all of my really stupid cooking questions and gives me great ideas for recipes. She gave me this book for Christmas. Last night I finally got it together and made my first recipe from the book, at her recommendation, called Beef Tamale Pie. It was GREAT! And it wasn't very hard either. This book is designed for making things ahead and gives directions for refrigerating and freezing. I was able to bake half of this recipe and put the other half in the freezer! I'm going to get going on a real plan for making and freezing ahead. I think the 30 day option is a little much for us, but I'm going to work on a 2 week make ahead schedule.
