A Simple Tip

Tonight, we had hamburgers, carrot salad and oven-roasted potatoes (all three recipes have been published on this blog). All three dishes come together really fast -- except the actual roasting of the potatoes. It takes about 35 minutes to roast them, and that is only after the oven is pre-heated.

So today's simple tip*: turn on the oven as soon as you come in the door from work. Or even better, if your oven has the great feature so you can program it to turn on at a certain time, use it! Program your oven to be pre-heated about the time you come home. That way you can pop whatever your baking/roasting into the oven right away and eat that much sooner.

*This may seem like such an obvious idea, but I didn't think about it myself until a couple months ago. Yes, sometimes it takes me years to realize the obvious!
