- While fresh ingredients are more flavorful, frozen vegetables save a lot of time and can be quite good if seasoned properly.
- Use premix when pressed for time. Cake mixes are fast, simple and pretty good. Bisquick makes good everyday biscuits, waffles and pancakes and is very easy to use.
- Make large batches of food when you have time and freeze for use when you do not have time. Make biscuits in large batches and freeze. Defrost and heat in the microwave and they come out great in 90 seconds. Make burritos a dozen at a time and freeze. They will be ready to eat after 3 minutes in the microwave.
