FAST Recipes - Dinner in 30 minutes

MEAL PLANNING TIP # 2:

PREP WORK

On the weekend, when things are less frantic, is a perfect time to do some prep. work. As mundane as it may sound, pre-chopping some frequently-used foods will save you a lot of agony during the week after a hard day of work.

Just try this!

THIS weekend, DEDICATE some space in your refrigerator to a few plastic containers to be filled with the following (you will LOVE-LOVE-LOVE this if you just try it):

• 1/2 cup – peeled garlic cloves (if you have a garlic press, otherwise, pre-chop the garlic too, and keep it in the plastic container  – but GET A GARLIC PRESS!)
• 1 cup – finely chopped onion
• 2 – green peppers, finely chopped
• 1 cup – chopped fresh tomato
• [these are just a start - whatever you use frequently, start dedicating a tupperware to!]
