• Reduce your cooking mess by pouring liquids at the sink and peeling food over the trash can.  Smaller messes are always easier to clean than bigger ones.
• Cut soup, stew and stir-fry ingredients into smaller pieces to reduce cooking time.  Keep any extras in the refrigerator to add to other weeknight meals.
• Use kitchen scissors to snip ingredients like green onions and sun dried tomatoes into small pieces.  It’s quicker and easier than chopping.
• Use two or more kitchen appliances simultaneously to cut cooking time during meal preparation.  For example, you can microwave vegetables while pan-frying meat.
