Finally—Dinner That Cooks Itself While You Live Your Life
What if dinner could be waiting for you instead of the other way around?
Imagine walking through the door at 6 PM to the aroma of tender maple-glazed chicken, creamy lemon chicken over rice, or a bubbling pot of hearty chili—already done, perfectly cooked, and ready to serve.
No last-minute scrambling. No takeout guilt. No "what's for dinner?" panic.
Just real, home-cooked comfort food that practically makes itself.
From the Kitchen of Melissa Griffiths, Creator of Bless This Mess
For over twelve years, I've been helping busy families make mealtime simpler through my food blog, Bless This Mess. As a mom of five, I know what it's like to juggle sports schedules, homework help, and a hundred other things while trying to get a decent dinner on the table.
This cookbook is my love letter to every parent who's ever felt overwhelmed at 5 PM.
These aren't just recipes—they're the meals that have fed my family through Little League seasons, homework marathons, and those exhausting days when even thinking about dinner felt like too much. They've filled our home with warmth, brought us together around the table, and made life just a little bit easier.
Now, they're yours.

🍗 Chicken
