“I stress … the deep need each woman has to study the scriptures. We want our homes to be blessed with sister scriptorians—whether you are single or married, young or old, widowed or living in a family. After all, who has any greater need to ‘treasure up’ the truths of the gospel (on which they may call in their moments of need) than do women and mothers who do so much nurturing and teaching?”

President Spencer W. Kimball

1. make a meal one day during the week that can be doubled and put in the freezer for Sunday.

2. Pick three or four simple meals, like roast and potatoes in the slow cooker, which can be rotated throughout the month and prepared on Saturday.

3. Depending on your meeting schedule, have sandwiches when you get home and prepare a simple, hot dinner later.

4. Use shortcuts. Store-bought rolls and microwaveable vegetables will round out a casserole taken from the freezer. Put leftover spaghetti sauce on noodles and top with cheese for baked spaghetti.

5. Expect less of Sunday meals. It doesn't have to be your grandma's Sunday dinner every week.
