  1. Bookmark any recipes you plan to use and put them in a visible place.

  2. If you want leftovers, plan that into your menu. Roasting a chicken? Pop in a second one for sandwiches and salads. Make a double batch of soup or your favorite pasta sauce and freeze half.

  3. Plan your menu around quick-cooking cuts of meat and poultry like cutlets, chops and fillets.

  4. Precut fruits and vegetables are great for stir-fries, quick side dishes and desserts. Though they can be a bit more expensive, they are a time saver when you want to get dinner on the table fast.

  5. Choose convenience products wisely: take a moment to read labels for calories, fats, fiber and sodium.

  6. Embrace frozen fruits and vegetables. Frozen fruit is great for making quick morning smoothies and fruit crisps for dessert, while frozen vegetables can be cooked up for side dishes or thrown into pasta.

  7. Be flexible-if the green beans at the store look withered, buy that beautiful broccoli instead!
