Time Management Tips

Plan ahead. Make your busy weekdays easier by spending a small amount of time during the weekend planning what meals to make during the week.
Prepare a grocery list before going shopping so that you cut down on impulse purchases and time spent in the store.
Save preparation time by buying ready-to-eat salad greens and pre-chopped, pre-washed vegetables. Salads as entrees and stir fries can come together in no time.
Use rinsed, canned beans instead of dried for your favorite soups, salads and other recipes to cut hours off prep time.
Couscous is one of the quickest-cooking grains around! Add some dried fruit and toasted nuts for a healthy side dish.
Store-bought rotisserie chicken or pre-cooked chicken breasts can be a lifesaver on those busy nights. Shred and add to salads, soups, sandwiches or quesadillas.
Use pre-cooked shrimp from the supermarket seafood department for any shrimp recipes.
Microwaving fish in parchment paper is a quick and easy way to get a delicious meal on the table. Try to find fillets that are of similar thickness for even cooking.
Marinate your meat during the day so all you have to do is cook before making the evening meal.
When you use a baking sheet to cook, line it with aluminum foil or parchment paper to speed the cleanup process.
