About Time

Spent all day in the lake and need dinner STAT? Turn to her “15 Minutes” section. Do you love cooking at the lake, glass of wine in hand? Choose something from the “45 Minutes or Less” section. While you chop wood or go waterskiing, the “Set It and Forget It” recipes (like the Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Chili, left) take care of dinner. And if you’d rather stay out of the kitchen on a sunny day, use Tansey’s make-ahead and batch-cooked shortcuts. The recipes offer a reset for every kind of cottager.
