I saw a tip on here recently about using frozen chopped onions and honestly, it's a game changer!
Anyway, cooking dinner is hands down my least favourite chore. I dread it every day – the planning, the prep, the mess. I’m desperate for more tips to make weeknight cooking faster, easier, and less painful.

Basically, I want to cook like someone who has their life together, even though I do not 😅

I see your frozen onions, and I raise you frozen base mix. (chopped onion, celery and carrot) also garlic granules

Make double (or triple) of whatever you can. One to eat tonight, the other for the freezer. We always have bolognase sauce, the inside of a cottage pie, a chilli, and a burrito mix in the freezer for when we can't be bothered to cook from scratch.

Buy a rice cooker. The only kitchen gadget we use weekly
