The Busy Mom’s Favorite Kitchen Time-Savers and Recipe Round-Up

I don’t know about you, but I. am. busy.

Actually, maybe I do know about you. You’re probably a wife and mom, just like me, which means you’re busy, just like I am!

While I love to cook, I am often side-tracked by how much time it can take to get a delicious, healthy meal on the table each night (not to mention those other two times a day)!

Because the holidays are notorious for meals that can take forever to prepare, as we enter the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons, I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite time-saving kitchen tools, along with a round-up of some recipes here on The Busy Mom for ideas of how to use them!

All of these useful tools make holiday cooking (well . . . actually all cooking!) much easier for the busy mom.
