Really makes all the difference in what we eat, having food ready. It feels a bit like a pain while your are preparing all that at once, but through the week you'll see how worth it it is.

Plus, I've been on a jicama kick, and there's one waiting for me if I'll just go get it ready.

That's another thing I do after shopping. I'll cook dry beans or pasta, pop them into the fridge.

I always think ...Great idea to prep ahead of time! I always think of it as so easy to rinse a few carrots or cucumbers that I never thought of making it easier, but you always have neat little tricks and I'm so glad you share them with us.<br />Over here we all just love raw veggies, and we eat them as snacks often, but I only serve raw veg as a side if it's just the kids and me eating. Somehow it feels less fancy than cooked. So, for dinners I purposefully do work that makes them less healthy just for a silly reason like that. <br />One of my favorite side dishes is shredded raw carrots (I use the food processor attachment which makes it a cinch) with a dash of whatever vinegar I favor at the moment. It's so easy and refreshing, and I just love snacks that crunch. I also like to eat vinegar on diced tomatoes or diced cucumber with celery salt. Yummm.<br />By the way, I spy your zoo teapot!

Also, they can sit a long time if I get too busy to put them away.
