Kitchen Tip Tuesday: A little prep will make you happy when it’s time to make dinner

Today’s tip comes from Alison in Austraila!  I feel so cool right now that someone from Austrailia is reading my blog.  She says,

“When I buy  meat for slow cooking  I brown it, cool, place in zip lock bags flatten & freeze. I just get the meat out when I start getting my ingredients ready so by the time I have everything in the pot the meat is defrosted, if not  microwave for a few seconds. I find I also use less meat  and more vegetables adding the meat last. I also sometimes pre-cook onions & celery & freeze in small bags & use the same. If you make them thin  & flat they defrost fast.”

Good tip, Alison.  Thanks!
