As we gear up for the end of summer, marked by Labor Day, some delicious “make-ahead” recipes can take all the work out of your long holiday weekend.
Each of this week’s recipes can be made several hours or even several days in advance of when you plan to serve them. This lets you kick back and relax with your family, without having to worry about spending time in the kitchen. Make-ahead meals are also great ideas for busy school nights.
Plan a labor-free Labor Day with a family meal of Clams Casino, Capellini with Fresh Tomato Sauce and Baby Tiramisu. Other make-ahead recipes to try this week include Sunny Chicken Salad, Chilled Cucumber Soup, French Toast Casserole and a dessert Summer Salad. Be sure to follow @MealsMatter on Twitter and register at MealsMatter.org to add these and other recipes to a personalized family meal plan and shopping list.
“Family Meals Matter” features registered dietitian-approved recipes from the thousands of user-contributed recipes available at the free family nutrition and meal-planning website, Meals Matter, maintained by registered dietitian moms with Dairy Council of California. Healthy Eating Made Easier™
