Whether you\u2019ve found yourself in a cooking rut or just need some slack, follow these suggestions to create easy, flavorful meals while saving valuable time, money and energy.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"art\"><span>Cook Once, Eat Twice<\/span> Plan meals that will last longer and ease your cooking tasks for the week. Cook proteins that can easily transition into double-duty meals. For example, put aside some cooked ground beef from a chili recipe to make tacos throughout the week, or make a large batch of rice or pasta for several quick and easy dishes. You\u2019ll save a lot of time by not having to cook from scratch twice.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"art\"><span>Freeze for Later<\/span> Don\u2019t think you\u2019ll eat your large batches before they spoil? No problem \u2013 freeze them! The freezer is key for saving both the integrity of your ingredients and time! Prep and freeze elements of your favorite recipes or freeze the entire dish! Simply thaw and reheat whatever you\u2019re craving.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"art\"><span>Choose Passive Cooking Techniques<\/span> Cooking appliances are incredibly effective for preparing flavorful meals more easily. Meals made in a slow cooker, rice cooker, Instant Pot\u00ae or air fryer are great for nights you want to set it and forget about it. Take advantage of these gadgets that do the heavy lifting plus alleviate cleaning stress.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"art\"><span>Savvy Shortcuts<\/span> Slicing and dicing ingredients for meal prep is time-consuming. Pick up ready-to-cook veggies like pre-washed greens, pre-chopped vegetable medleys and shaved Brussels sprouts for a timesaving shortcut. Or, rely on frozen fruit and vegetable varieties to bring flavor, nutrition and convenience to your favorite recipes.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"art\"><span>No-Cook Meals<\/span> Take a vacation from your oven and stovetop by creating easy no-cook meals. Rotisserie chicken is an excellent ingredient to keep on hand, as well as shelf staples like olive oil, tomato sauce or paste, canned beans or fish, bottled dressings, spices and seasonings. These essentials will help you create delicious pantry-to-plate meals that come together in a flash.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Timesaving Cooking Tips Cooking more meals at home this year has been therapeutic for some and stressful for others.
