Doreen is a Relief Society President and the mother of six young children. Her recipe for managing all the external demands on her time: "I scatter it through the day so it doesn't seem like too much."  She is also the President of Saints and Scholars-WA, the state-wide support group for LDS homeschoolers in Washington State.

Doreen says: "I hate to cook! But I after found out my children would starve if someone didn't feed them, I had to find a way to feed them and still "not cook."  This type of cooking is sometimes called "Once a Month Cooking." But "Once a Month" still seemed like too much time spent in the kitchen, so Doreen started "Mega Cooking".   She really cooks this way, and it really works!  With Mega Cooking, I have time to enjoy my well-fed kids, the beautiful outdoors, and do something every homeschooling parent loves to do...READ!  I believe mothers should actively learn, and be teachable themselves, and only then will they be able to effectively teach and guide their children.  The most important book we all must learn from is the scriptures."
