quick easy meals

Buy chicken when on sale. Cook all the chicken at one time. Dice or shred chicken and freeze in bags. Chicken freezes very well and you can prepare quick, easy meals. We often make enchiladas, casseroles, calzones, pizza, burritos, etc... thats 15 min. prep and into the oven. You get a hot home cooked meal in less time than it takes for delivery.

Easy Cooking

Buy a large package of Ground Meat at a low cost. Make small meat balls in any amount. Package the number of meat balls for one meal for your family. When making any meal take out the amont you need and supper is on.

Barbequing

I barbecue for one whole day every 2 to 3 months. I barbecue all different types of meat: ribs, pork tenderloin, chicken, hamburgers, bratwurst, country ribs and pork steaks. After barbequing all the meat I put the amount needed for a supper into a zip loc freezer bags and put into the freezer. Whenever we feel like having barbeque it's already done. Just take out of the freezer and thaw. Put the meat on a cookie sheet and in the oven at 250 degrees; in 30 to 45 minutes the meat is heated through. It's really a time saver, and it's a lot nicer to have it done without having to barbeque all the time.

Baking cake

I enjoy some cake for a snack occassionally. But living alone, I don't often make a full-size mix unless it's for a special occassion. Instead, I keep the small Jiffy cakes in my cabinet. Rather than pull out my mixer & bowl, I mix the cake by whisk in a square glass dish. Make sure the dish is clean & dry then use cooking spray. Add the egg & water together & whisk well, adding the cake mix little by little until mixed completely. Pop it in the oven & you've got cake, with very little cleanup. Yum!

bacon for salads

When frying bacon I always fry more than I need, then drain into SCOTT paper towels. When cooled I put the bacon in a ziplock bag and throw in the refrigerator for when I need bacon for salads, cheese burgers, green beans what ever you want a little bacon in.

cutting pancakes

Instead of using a knife and fork to cut pancakes, I use a pizza cutter. It cuts through a stack of pancakes easily and is less messy.

left over containers

I save the butter tubs and then have them to give to single neighbors and some friends that live alone and never have to worry about getting my containers back. That size is just great for small servings for one.
