Time saver: When preparing a meal using grated cheese, chopped onions, etc., prepare more than the recipe calls for and refrigerate or freeze the rest for another meal.

Response to Cooking Hint of the Day

I buy red, yellow and green peppers when they are on sale. I chop some and slice the rest. Put the sliced peppers with the sliced onions and save & freeze them for when I make fajitas. The chopped red & yellow pepper is also great to use as "color accent" for assorted dishes.
