Check out the ready-cut and chopped items at my supermarket. Most large supermarkets have these ready-to-use vegetables. I call it the 'Prep-Free' section. Be aware though, that the luxury does cost more but at times it's worth it.
For instance, when you are on the way home from work, a class or the doctor's, or had a hectic day with children, and too exhausted to start prepping a meal, just stop in the store and pick up a package or two of ready-chopped stir-fry vegetables, boil up a needed portions of Ten Minute Boil-in-Bag rice for an easy dinner. Saute or steam some ready-chopped peppers and onions and make a large Frittata. Also, you can saute ready-sliced zucchini and yellow squash in olive oil with a little garlic powder and spoon over pasta. Top with grated cheese.
Sure, we can order in some food but in all likelihood that choice would be even more costly and less healthy, esp. if done more often than not. (Weekends are usually times when we have pizza and Chinese food or eat out as a treat.)
A good food processor, like Hamilton Beach, is a great help too and easy to clean for a more affordable no-cut and slicing option on a regular basis. More on that in the next post. Stay tuned.
