My Best Kitchen Hacks

Fast Dinners Go-To Ideas: Salads in summer, soups in winter. There are endless variations, depending on what you have on hand. Add some smoked fish, or bread and cheese, and you are good to go.

A well stocked pantry is key. Keep on hand: All kinds of beans, grains, tomatoes, pasta, canned fish like anchovies & sardines, olives, capers, pickles all make life easier. (An excellent idea these days anyway.)

A rice cooker helps: It cooks rice perfectly holds it on warm for hours. Essential if family members have different schedules.
