Lol @ sabasweb. That’s too funny.

Jazakillaahu khairan sis Ahlam for all the tips. I’d like to add chopping onions in a food processor and cutting up veggies you use regularly and storing them in an air tight container has been my biggest time saver. It’s made breakfast and dinner a lot quicker. Also washing meat and even skinning chicken before storing in the freezer saves time when it comes to cooking. I like to cook enough for two days. You can make extra sauce and maybe alternate pastas or use rice. Or I’ll make extra rice and then make a different meat dish the next day.

In reply to grandmajeddah. Definitely! Having the bookbags, clothes and lunch boxes prepped the night before really helps with having a smooth morning.

In reply to Dina. JAK Dina for stopping by. I couldn't agree more, having leftovers can often be a life saver! I know many people freeze food as well, but I haven't yet been able to get that down.

As salaamu alaykum Sr. Ahlam!

I miss your articles in SISTERS Magazine!
Thanks so much for an articulate article. I really enjoyed reading it and it does apply to me because I don’t joke with my ‘productive downtime’. I need it more than ever to breathe!

First thanks a lot for sharing these nice tips.
I would like also to add few small thing.
1- cook a meal that will be enough for two days as dinner will reduce cooking time.
2- have the leftovers either as lunch or freeze it for another day.
3- Sunday 2 hrs cooking or at least marinate and prep. for the week cooking will safe you lots of time/ and effort.

Again , JAK for the wonderful article
