You can make cooking easier; 5 ways to accomplish this without having everything come out of a box.
1- Store bought rotisserie chicken; you can shred it and make a variety of meals; save the bones for stock.
2- Salsa verde; real good condiments make a difference; baked salmon or roast chicken breasts become zingy and the aroma of herbs and garlic is great.
3- Pre cooked grains; you can boil and drain rice, lentils or beans and store them in air tight containers in the refrigerator; use as needed.
4- Buy more fish; few foods cook faster.
5- Puff pastry dough; this is the “Home Cooks” secret weapon; it can be topped with just about anything.
6- Stock up on stock; heat up the stock and put in chicken or fish or rice or beans; just about anything.
7- Greens; they don’t necessarily have to be cooked; slice them and add a good amount of lemon juice to soften them.
8- Buy what appeals to you; don’t worry about what’s suppose to be dinner; maybe you just want toast or a soft boiled egg or whatever.
9- Eggs; they aren’t just for breakfast.
10- Dress up the ramen noodles; instead of using the flavor dust that’s packed with them, put the noodles in your stock.
