Double-Duty Dinners
Plan for not one, but two (or even three) evenings' meals. These ‘planned-overs’ create new meals from a previous night's dinner and give you more time to spend doing what you love.
If you cook for two or brown bag for lunch double-duty—or planned-over cooking—makes sense. If you hate throwing out leftovers—and who can afford to do that—these cook once, eat a time or two ideas will give a whole new meaning to that word! Look for Planned Overs tips on some of our recipes for more ideas.

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.
