With 4 kids, a large extended family, and a passion for feeding others, Annalise Thomas 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’ve been looking for a few good easy to prepare ahead-of-time meals and I was super excited to asked to review Annalise’s new cookbook.

We are all so busy these days and let’s face it, it’s not everyday that we have hours to spend in the kitchen cooking dinner. And, there are sometimes when we’d love to open up the freezer and just grab something already made and healthy for us.

If this sounds anything like your life, you will love The Make-Ahead Kitchen! Simple, easy recipes that are not only time-saving but chances are, you’ll have everything you need in your pantry.

Some of the recipes you’ll receive in the cookbook are Cashew Chicken and Brown Rice Casserole, Big Batch Maple-Glazed Make-Ahead Cinnamon Rolls and then for snack, The Best Fudgy from-scratch Brownies. And let’s not forget Make-ahead Pizza Rolls for those take-it-easy nights.

There are 75 Slow-Cooker, Freezer, and Prepared Meals included in the cookbook. Annalise had done a fabulous job with the book and recipes and gets a high-five and five stars for her efforts!
