Baked mad apple Parm that yields days of leftover , cheaters ' greaser bowls , and more low-toned - tenseness recipes I swear by .

Hi, I’m Hannah, and I love to cook. I have always cooked most nights of the week because I really enjoy it. In fact, as weird as it may sound, laboring over a time-intensive recipe in the kitchen was always one way I liked to unwind after a busy day.

But since having a baby eight months ago — my first — I’ve noticed that my cooking style has changed pretty drastically. For the first two months or so, bedtime lasted anywhere from 30 minutes to 400 hours, and dinner for me looked a lot like the photo below. Now that I’ve gotteninto the swing of motherhood, I’m finally back to cooking. That said, I’ve been relying on easier, less time-consuming meals that I can get on the table quickly, with minimal cleanup. So here are some of the go-to meals I’ve been making on repeat as a new mom.
