Time-Savers

Trim prep time using these quick tips:

• Boil water with the lid on the pot.  Be sure the water is unsalted; it will boil faster.
  
  
• Chop extra onions, celery and bell pepper, and refrigerate or freeze for ready-to-use veggies. Do the same when cooking pasta and rice.
  
  
• Use convenience items such as sliced, shredded and cubed cheeses, pre-cooked bacon and meat; and packaged salads and vegetable mixtures.
