3) Use Frozen Veggies
Frozen veggies are a great way to make cooking a breeze. You can either buy them pre-packaged from the frozen foods section or chop up fresh veggies and freeze them yourself. When you need some vegetables for a quick dinner, they're a great way to cut down on prep time (no chopping/slicing necessary). They also cook up quicker than fresh veggies because they're not as firm. And bonus: No need to thaw them if using for hot recipes, such as roasts or soups.
