Certain home cooking tips can elevate your meals with minimal time and or financial investment. To save money and time while cooking, prepare ingredients you can use in multiple dishes, and store them for later use. Examples include making a batch of meatballs larger than you need for the most immediate meal. Freeze them in plastic bags, so you don’t have to eat them all immediately. Alternatively, when cooking ground beef, turn some of it into meatballs, another portion into taco filling the next day, and freeze what remains to extend its shelf life. Canned and dried goods can also add variety to your meals, while making the most of your fresh produce. Mix basil and garlic into canned tomatoes, to create your own tomato sauce, instead of buying jarred sauce. Add diverse meats, vegetables, and spices to rice and or any kind of pasta, to fulfill nutritional needs without inducing boredom. Alongside using beans to add protein to a dish, also use the liquid in the can, called aquafaba, as an egg substitute when a recipe calls for eggs.
