Timesavers in the kitchen
Need help getting meals on the table quickly? Check out these cooking tips:
- Double up. Plan for several meals by doubling up on ingredients. For example, grill chicken one night, cooking extra to use in chicken salad sandwiches the next day. Or cook up a double batch of ground beef; use half for sloppy joes and the rest in taco salads.
- Purchase shortcut ingredients such as prepared pastas; rotisserie chicken; bottled minced garlic; and chopped nuts.
- Prepare only one recipe per menu. Round out your meals with prepared foods or simple side dishes such as potato salad from your supermarket’s deli counter or frozen vegetable blends that cook in the bag they came in.
- Stock up on quick-fix items for busy weeknights. Frozen entrées or sandwiches, rice and pasta mixes, pasta sauces, canned soups, canned tuna, pancake mix, and even peanut butter and jelly can be the basis for simple meals.

You can make a casserole the evening before or early in the day. Just cover and refrigerate the casserole. When you’re ready, bake it as directed, adding 15 to 20 minutes to allow it to heat through.
