On the healthiness of pre-packaged foods

You don't always have to spend hours to prepare a nice 'home-cooked' meal for yourself. A good way to make cooking easier and faster is to plan recipes through the week, do the shopping early, and pair things up so you can use leftovers from one recipe in another. One nights pot-roast becomes the next nights vegetable beef and barley soup.

Crockpots, single-pot meals, and make-ahead recipes are quite the awesome.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
