I love to eat. (Cue my happy dance!) I love everything about cooking except dicing piles of onions, carrots, and celery and measuring spices to make the perfect seasoning blend. If there are ways to take the "work" out of prep work, count me in. Well, there's good news, foodie friends. Half Homemade, Fully Delicious is loaded with creative ideas for getting great food on the table while spending far less time in the kitchen.

By using these culinary quick tricks to your advantage, you'll reach your destination-the dining table-in a fraction of the time it traditionally takes to prepare meals, all without sacrificing the flavors and texture of your favorite dishes. With supermarket shortcuts and my new collection of recipes in Half Homemade, Fully Delicious, you'll rediscover the pleasures of sharing meals and good times.
