I love to bake but don’t often do so because of time. I’m sure many of you are in similar situations! I prefer baking from scratch as I can control the ingredients and what goes into my food. That may change, though, with these very cool new cookies from Pillsbury called …simply Cookies!
Pillsbury…simply Cookies are ready to bake pre-scored cookies found in the refrigerated section. They are available in two flavors (chocolate chip or peanut butter) and are made with wholesome ingredients like flour, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla and have zero grams trans fat, no high fructose corn syrup, no artificial colors or flavors and no preservatives. Wow, are my days of baking cookies from scratch over?
Thanks to the kind people at My Blog Spark, I was able to try a package of these cookies. I chose the chocolate chip and was happy with how easy they were to prepare. Just a few minutes to preheat the oven and separate the cookies onto the baking sheet and into the oven and then into my mouth! It couldn’t have been easier and the cookies truly are delicious. I loved knowing how simple and natural the ingredients were and would definitely buy these again.
You can print a coupon for $1.25 off of these cookies right now!

To make cooking easier I make large pots of food and then freeze them. I always have options for the nights that I really done want to cook.

One day a week, I go grocery shopping, clean the refrigerator, tidy up my cabinets and prep my food for the week all in one day. My I could not live without appliance is my Foodsaver Vaccum sealer. I prep my meats however needed for the weeks dinners and then seal them. I then put everything in the freezer – this way if things come up and I don't stick to my menu/day plans the meat won't go bad. Then I go and prep all of my vegetables for the week. I then put them in containers/ziplock bags or seal them. The awesome thing with the sealer is that I can peel my potatoes, cut them as needed and seal them per meal and they won't turn black. Trick is to take a few paper towels and get as much moisture off them before sealing. I then clean down the counters, appliances and sweep and clean the floor. This then makes my week a breeze. Dinners are easily thrown together, as I do cook most from scratch, with the exception of some rice/noodle sides and clean up is a breeze.

Lately cooking simple is: frozen dinners, grlled hotdogs or hamburgers, deli salads, canned soup, sometimes just a sandwich. Not a lot of cooking period!

I try to choose recipes that have a minimal amount of ingredients but are still tasty.

My cooking stays pretty simple. I usually always have three staple items at each meal for my family: meat, vegetable, and a side (rice, potatoes, salad, or fruit).
I too am a busy stay at home Mom who is starting a new business so I like the cookie tubs where I can just scoop and go! I also like that I can make them as big or as small as I want. My kids like them cooked in muffin tins then we add ice cream to the top! yummy!!!
I make a big batch of boneless chicken on the grill. I use two different marinades. Then I use the leftovers later in the week in a rice/pasta dish. This way I get 3 meals from grilling one time.

I always keep basic ingredients on hand so when the mood strikes I'm ready to go!

I normally have my kids get things out while I am measuring.
I plan ahead, knowing what i am making ahead of time makes things much easier
I sit down at the dining room table and do all my mixing, putting on cookie sheets there. Makes it much easier.
I plan ahead, and cook enough (like meatballs) for at least a month, so all I to do is thaw them when it is dinner time.
I let my husband do all the cooking makes it pretty simple.

That looks great! Since it's just the two of us, I usually cut recipes in half so it won't go to waste!
I usually try to make recipes with only a few ingredients. It cuts down on costs and simplifies my time in the kitchen.

I keep it simple by making sure my pantry is well stocked so I can whip things up at the last minute. I also do the Sandra Lee thing and use store bought spagehetti sauce (and other things) that I can use for a "base" and add lots of goodies to them – then they seem like homemade! : )

I always have my baking materials handy so when I am in the mood I can make a batch. I also freeze the extra dough so I can make just a few cookies at a time (helps my waist line too.)
To help make my cooking easier-I keep my recipes simple, recipes that
contain ingredients that I already have.

Actually, he loves to cook and would rather be in the kitchen than cutting the grass (which I do).

To make things simple, I pre-measure and have everything spread out on the counter.

To make things simple I double check to make sure I have all the ingredents. I almost made blueberry muffins without the blueberries. I knew something was wrong but couldn't figure out what was missing. LOL!
