Making lots of a sauce (ex: marinara, pizza sauce, etc.) and freezing it for quick use.

Frozen chopped onions and peppers make quick prep of a variety of meals as well.

Whole wheat has been huge for us, it's so widely available in convenience foods. I grind my own flour for home baking purposes. Quinoa has become a huge asset for us as well since my husband hates rice and quinoa is a pretty great substitute in most recipes we've tried.

Broccoli. Everyone teases me, but I love steamed broccoli and I have my whole life.

Like the majority, I would probably have to rank pita at the top. It's so versatile.

When I buy a bag of lemons I zest them and then juice them all. I freeze the zest in little baggies and the juice I freeze in ice cube trays and then place in baggies in the freezer. It's very convenient for baking and cooking.

I make a large beef roast on Sunday and we eat leftovers at least twice after.

We always make extra - doubling every recipe - to have leftovers and save cooking time.

cut n freeze -- and buy frozen when you can -- especially veggies since they tend to be fresher frozen

If you eat plenty of salads, cut everything up and put into plastic storage containers as soon as you get home from the store.

Make weekly menus for dinner, so there is no rushing to put something together for dinner last minute.

making several days worth of meals ahead of time, always having fresh sauce frozen and also have veggies prepped ahead of time.

Make a menu weekly, planning each daily meal. That way you're not confused about what to fix for dinner that evening.

For boiling water--just put a lid on to bring it to the boil faster.
