A lot of people live a hectic lifestyle and finding time to cook healthy meals is a big challenge that some of them face. This leads to the tendency of ordering in prepared food more than they really like to. There are some time-saving recipes that they can rely on that will solve this problem.
Stocks
Many recipes call for a stock or a base to the recipe. If this is made ahead of time additions to it can create several different types of meals.
Vegetable Stock
It is a habit that when most people cook the vegetables that they are going to have for their meal to throw out the water that they cooked the veggies in. If this is kept and frozen then it is a perfect stock already prepared to make vegetable soup in the future. It is just a matter of thawing it out and then simmering the rest of the ingredients in it until they are cooked. The big time saver here is not having to make the stock at the same time.
Freezing Leftovers
Usually, there is always a small number of leftovers from every meal and they get thrown out because there is not enough to make another meal for everyone. These can be frozen and used in another dish.
Meat Pies
These are quick and easy to make as well. It does require buying the premade pastry shells but these are inexpensive and made the same as they are done when homemade. This is where all those frozen leftovers can now be used. The odds and ends of veggies, and the small services of beef and chicken. All the ingredients that go into making single-serving meat pies. It just means thawing all the ingredients, combining them and then putting them in the individual meat pies and baking for a half hour.
