More Timesaver Tips:
Kathryn writes: “I keep a paper grocery bag on the floor next to the stove. As I open cans, wrappers & bags, I toss them into the paper bag on the floor. When cooking is finished, I just fold it up and put with the trash/recycling.”
Kathy writes: “I clean as I go. If Im cleaning vegetables I have one of those sacks from the store.. throwing everything into it as I chop the vegetables. Even some times just tape it to the work area so I can just slide things right into it. I use a pants hanger and put like magazine that have a recipe I want to use. Out of my way on counter top.. does not get spilled on. Sink n full of hot soapy water.. wash as I go.. less mess at the end.. only have things from on the table to wash.”
Lisa writes: “I keep a roll of Scotch tape and clear packing tape in a drawer it’s handy for resealing bags that you don’t reopen often”
Merrill writes: “Clean as you cook. Wipe spills immediately. Wash dishes, or load the DW as you prep, and as soon as dirtied. Keeping the sink clear/clean means you’re always ready for anything. Define your workspace and arrange cabinets and drawers to have tools ready nearest that space.. put things away where they go. Empty trash often.”
Nancy writes: “My counters are clear except Keurig and air fryer which sits neatly on a small corner. Â I clean as I go.”
Susan writes: “I have a tablet to record when I run out of an item, so I know to pick up more.”
Lisa writes: “Use a binder clip to clip onto seasoning packets, then hang from a small hook inside your cabinet.”
Michelle writes: “As I am cooking, I make sure to wash the dishes and wipe the counters, too.”
Barb writes: “When I was sharing we used to have a rule that whoever cooks, the other cleans up, but that soon changed. I clean up as I go so there’s only a few dishes to wash after a meal. My housemates didn’t, so they have a mess to contend with afterwards. We have different styles and it’s all about choice so much fairer we clean up our own messes.”

Sweet potatoes were on sale and we really like them. Cubed, boiled all, then peeled they come off easier, mashed, put on cookie sheet covered with wax paper, used ice cream dipper to make single serving, put in freezer, then put in freezer bag. Microwave and have all year around.
