So because warm weather is approaching, I'm only going to touch on this.
The freezer is your friend!
Grilling time! But you don't feel like mixing and shaping all those burgers, and Oh No! you forgot to marinate the meat!
Easy fix. Buy your meat in the bulk package, and when you're done putting away the groceries, season and shape all your burgers and freeze them. If your kids are like mine, they love rare burgers, keep 'em frozen until you pop them on the grill, or defrost them first for more well done. Or for pasta, make some of the meat into meatballs and freeze them.
Portion your steaks, pork chops and roasts into dinner sized portions too, that way all you need to do is pull them out.
We make our own BBQ sauce, because well, it tastes better, but we also get less junk that way. Pour your marinade over the meat and toss it in the freezer, then when you take it out to defrost, it's also marinating, and you haven't forgotten to do it.
There are all sorts of things you can do to cheat the clock, with these seeds of ideas, come up with some of your own and post them in the comments... I'm always up for learning more!
Next up, lets make some tricky burgers and salad!
