1. The holiday rush can make cooking in December just another chore. Give yourself a break from the mundane, everyday mealtime cooking by incorporating a few helpful tips.
2. This is a perfect time to pick up your favorite prepared food - more often. There’s almost always a roasted chicken in my fridge. It’s great for dinner one night, standwiches the next and food for my dog, Max after that.
3. Spend an afternoon making two or three different soups (the soups I posted on _____are perfect.) and freeze them in quart sized containers. At mealtime, you can just reach into your freezer, add a tossed salad, maybe some fresh or garlic bread and dinner or lunch is ready in minutes.
4. Have lots of food that requires no cooking in your fridge or pantry. Cold cuts, cheeses, cured meats, pasta or potato salad, marinated vegetables, olives, fresh bread, etc.
5. When you do cook, make it special whatever it is you like to whip up. And if it’s a batch of cookies, make lots and invite children or friends to join in.
