Here are many ladies on this forum who may be working ladies, but also fulfill their responsibilities as a mother, as a housewife, or a prefect homemaker. This also includes kitchen work, laundry work etc.
Are there any shortcuts or time saving tricks you know? Can you share your top kitchen hacks? That'll help us all

I find that ordering Door Dash cuts down on dishes and meal prep and clean up.
In thirty minutes, you can have just about anything, from burgers and chicken to ribs and steak brought hot, right to your door.
Seriously, when I make bacon, I make enough for the week. When I make burgers, same thing, I make 4-6 burgers at a time. I make large meals and divide them into single servings in freezer safe containers.
Same with stew or chili or pasta sauce.
When I want one of those meals, I simply pull them out of the freezer in the morning and they thaw in time for dinner.
I am not a lady though,lol.

It saves so much time. Plus, you don't feel like you have to rush to eat it before it goes bad. A pot of stew in the fridge lasts four or five days. If you freeze portions, it lasts six months.

Did you read the last comment by @Ineeddentures Jim? He is a good friend of mine. He mentioned that he does everything in the house - probably all that ladies do. He is also not a lady. I just meant to say, even men can do all things just like women.
If you don't mind I would like to ask you, why do you prepare so must stuff that lasts for a week? Mate, don't you think you are eating food that's already prepared for days? It'd be great to make them as and when you want to eat.
I've no right to advice you. But I couldn't hold back. That's it.

That's a new you I got to know. I didn't know that you were doing all this stuff. I wonder how you get time to MyLot when you have so much of work. What you mentioned are almost daily chores. And you don't even don't try to save time LOL...

That's interesting. So you use it for the extra or the add-on. You are definitely cost-cutting the best way. Because when you freeze it, it'll last longer.

I meal prep breakfast and lunch jars for the work week. I usually do yogurt/applesauce/fresh apples and then top with granola as I eat them at the beginning of the work day. Salad jars can be anything you want as long as you put the dressing at the bottom or keep it separate.
