New Power Cooking Recipes for Busy Moms-to-Be

[jillchef]

I did a Power Cooking show a couple of months ago, and my host is looking for some more recipes being she is about to have a baby and wants to get them in the freezer. Are there any more new recipes out there for power cooking? (She already has the list of 13 or so recipes). Thanks.

I haven't seen any yet. I know the orginal list from Laura Norris in TX were recipes SHE developed and adapted from other sources.

Maybe you can try your hand at some more? If you do an online search for freezer cooking or 30 day cooking, you'll get some hits.
