You’ve Got It Made is the go-to book for easy, hot-from-the-oven, homemade meals that can be prepared in advance but still taste fresh and delicious. This book features 150 recipes, including casseroles, quiches, gratins, pasta and grain dishes, pot pies, breads, fruit cobblers, cookies and more, that can be completely prepped and assembled ahead of time, frozen or refrigerated, and baked just before serving. From delicious appetizers like Spinach and Feta Puffs and Baked Brie; to comforting entrees like Pesto Ravioli Bake, Beef Stroganoff Casserole, and Old-Fashioned Chicken Pot Pie; to desserts like Five-Spiced Baked Apples and Soft Ginger Molasses Cookies, Diane Phillips provides the simple, do-ahead formula to make it happen.
Each recipe in You’ve Got It Made includes detailed instructions on what steps can be done ahead of time and how to cook the dish later. A complete introduction gives advice on the basic ingredients and essential equipment that every pantry needs for do-ahead success and provides helpful tips on food storage and kitchen safety, as well as how to properly freeze and defrost food with ease. With these recipes, busy cooks will always be prepared for unexpected guests, hectic holidays, or time-crunched weeknights with a satisfying homemade meal.
