Save Time While Cooking

Cooking healthy meals can be easy and fun. Here are some tips to help you save time in the kitchen:

• Clean as You Cook: Washing dishes as you go keeps your kitchen tidy.

• Cook Large Batches: Cook large batches of items that freeze well, like sauces, stews, and casseroles. Store them in your freezer. Making extra means you'll have leftovers for other meals.

• Cut Up Veggies or Fruit in Advance: Preparing ingredients ahead of time speeds up cooking. Store them in your fridge or freezer.

• Measure out single servings of snacks, like air-popped

  popcorn. Put them in bags or containers.

• Use a Slow Cooker: These handy devices do most of the work for you.

• Use Leftovers: Turn last night's dinner into something new today. Use leftover veggies and meat in an omelet, pasta or rice dish, stew, soup, salad, or burrito. This saves money as well as time.
