When ever you need to mix tuna for tuna salad, first put all ingredients in a 1 gallon sealable plastic bag, remove excess air, then I just blend ingredients by squeezing the bag. Then snip off 1 corner to squeeze out the amount needed for sandwiches, salads, and etc. This idea can be used with many other foods such as deviled eggs, seafood salad, meatloaf, seasoned ground beef for the grill and so on. This is extra nice to prepare foods on camp-outs, picnics, or carry dish for get-togethers (and a lot easier to transport). Enjoy the food and an EASY clean-up.

Make your own Instant Oatmeal by putting regular oatmeal in a blender. Blending makes the oatmeal the same as instant.

Buy ground beef in bulk, and then separate it into 1-pound portions and freeze. Brown the ground beef first before freezing; then you can just pull it out of the freezer to use for tacos or anything else that's easy.

Make up two or three recipes of the dry ingredients for cakes, cookies, breads, etc. then labels them, and tucks in a copy of the recipe, and put them in the cupboard. This way you're only dealing with flour etc. that is messy to clean up once. When you're in a hurry its great to have everything ready.

To avoid cutting onions, garlic, peppers and other spices every time you cook just prepare a big batchin advance. Use onions, green peppers, red peppers, garlic, tomato paste, and other spices like basil, oregano, pepper and blend to a paste in a blender. Freeze the paste in ice cube trays and store them in a ziplock bag in the freezer. Each cube is a serving so you don't have to keep cut vegetables in the fridge and speed up your cooking by getting exactly the amount of spices you need. If you are cooking 4 servings use 3-4 cubes depending on how spicy you like it.

Grill or pan fry (in a sprayed, nonstick skillet), many boneless/skinless chicken breasts. Season them with seasoned salt and garlic powder. Cool and wrap individually in plastic wrap. Place wrapped chicken breasts in a large zip lock bag and keep in the freezer. These are great for a quick Caesar salad, barbecue chicken salad (warmed in microwave with some lowfat barbecue sauce), or chopped for a cold chicken salad.

After chopping or mincing onions or green peppers I put them in freezer bags and press them flat. Makes breaking off the amount needed easy.

To save pot watching and burning of the bottom of the pots when making spaghetti sauce, place your sauce in an oven safe dish and place in the oven -- no higher than 300 degrees. It can be left to cook slowly for hours without burning -- just stir every now and then.
