๐ฝ๏ธ Time Saving Cooking Tips ๐ Plan your dinner menu for the entire week. Make a shopping list and grab everything in one trip. Use leftovers creatively to save time and reduce waste. ๐ The deli is your friend. Buy a pre-cooked deli chicken for an easy weeknight meal. The deli also has great side dishes like roasted veggies and mashed potatoes. ๐ช Get started on prep before putting groceries away. Wash and chop all the vegetables for the week's meals, then store them in the fridge. ๐ฒ Cook once, eat twice. Double your favorite recipes and freeze extras in easy-to-thaw portions for quick meals later. ๐ Keep your pantry fully stocked. Having a variety of food options makes it easy to extend meals. Add black beans to taco meat, extra veggies to soup, or make a casserole with soup, pasta, and leftover meat.
