Cook on the weekend

When cooking dinner is not a harried chore, you can relax and take pleasure in it. If possible, prepare some or all of Monday night’s meal over the weekend. Or, if you decide to roast a chicken or braise a brisket for dinner on the weekend, double the recipe, and you can save time preparing another delicious home-cooked meal later in the week. You can also cook a double batch of a dish that freezes well, such as a stew, curry, or soup, and store the leftovers in the freezer for future use (freezing and reheating meals).
