How to Make Cooking Easier – My Favorite Ways To Save a Step

How to Make Cooking Easier - Save a step with Best Rotisserie Chicken Recipe easy recipes for chicken lasagna

August 18, 2019 by Holly Clegg Leave a Comment

I want to talk about how to make cooking easier. Any time you can save a step when making a meal, I say go for it – like with my rotisserie chicken recipe from KITCHEN 101: Secrets to Cooking Confidence cookbook. Cooking from scratch is great but not if it keeps you from cooking at all! I am all about easy. I use the best shortcuts to help us get that healthy homemade meal on the table and fast! So, I wanted to share my short cut strategy for my healthy easy recipes.

#1 Way to Make Dinner Easy With Best Rotisserie Chicken Recipe

Don’t let time be what holds you back from whipping up that homemade meal. With a few of my favorite ‘save a step’ healthy ingredients you will be surprised at how fast you can put a delicious meal on the table. One of my favorite ways of how to make cooking easier is with this rotisserie chicken recipe. Remove this skin and you have a quick and healthy, high protein ingredient to add to recipes like my popular 5-ingredient Easy Chicken Lasagna from KITCHEN 101 cookbook.

#2 Save A Step With Pre-Cut Veggies

Pre-cut veggies are the second way of how to make cooking easier. Look for them at the grocery store as they so simply save a step. Bagged lettuce is a no-brainer but I even grab the chopped kale and coleslaw. I also love to pick up sliced bell peppers and pre-diced onion so no teary eyes! You won’t believe how unbelievably easy my Meaty Italian Dip is to whip up when you don’t even have to chop the onions!

#3 Keep Brown Rice On Hand In the Pantry

Another quick way I save a step is with quick rice – preferably brown rice for its added fiber and nutrients. These fast-cooking microwavable boil in bag brown rice bags are so handy to keep on the pantry shelves, especially when you are just cooking for a few folks – they even come in quinoa and other healthy options! Pizza Rice from Guy’s Guide To Eating Well is a perfect dish to whip up with quick brown rice – as it makes a delicious snack or side dish loved by all ages! Try making it a hearty rotisserie chicken recipe by adding this savory protein to make this a main-dish Pizza rice salad!

Easiest Cookbook To Make a FAST Healthy Dinner

KITCHEN 101 cookbook is my go-to cookbook for all things simplified! When I want to save a step and get a healthy meal on the table fast this is the book I reach for. It is full of ways of how to make cooking easier. Sometimes, you just get in a cooking rut and need some quick ideas.
