TIP TUESDAY

Cut once, cook twice: If you know you’ll be using onion three nights this week, chop enough onion for all three meals, then it’s ready when you need it later in the week. 

Shred cheese yourself all at once: Since it’s more cost efficient to buy cheese in a block and shred it yourself than buying it preshredded, shred the whole block and put it in a zip storage bag in the refrigerator or freezer. 

Store oils in a squeeze bottle: Olive oil or other oils stored in a squeeze bottle keep the oils handy for use and the dribbles down the side to a minimum.

Hamburger patties: Form a nice-sized roll of ground beef, wrap and freeze. Once frozen, slice for patties. Works like a charm for perfectly formed patties.

Make your own mixes: Recipes abound for all kinds of time-saving mixes. Devoting one day a month to making mixes will save you lots of time in meal preparation. For mix recipes click HERE !
