Spend Less Time In The Kitchen

Take your organized kitchen up a notch with batch cooking. If you are going to mess up the kitchen by chopping, grilling and baking try to do it just once a week. Double or triple recipes for browning meat, preparing sauces or entire meals then separate into resealable bags, containers or pans and freeze. Just pull out of your freezer when ready to use. This will cut your cooking time even more and allow you to prepare healthy meals. It will also save you money on convenience items such as shredded or precooked foods that you can prepare yourself. Its important to keep your freezer organized by labeling the ingredients including the date. Liquids can lay flat in a resealable bags and plastic containers can stack taking up less space.
