Myth #1 I do not have time to cook meals if I work

It is a myth that this kind of cooking takes a huge amount of time. Generally I spent about 15 minutes in active preparation time, on average, for these meals. The actual cooking time was often longer if something is in the oven, I don't stand around watching it and doing nothing. One of the efficient cooking practices I use is to prepare more than one meal with a cooking session. One of the techniques to do that is to plan for left-over use. When I cook a pot roast, I not only see a pot roast dinner, I also see hot beef sandwiches, deviled roast beef, and beef stew or stock for soup. I understand these are advanced home cooking skills, but they are not impossible to learn, and as with any other skill, the learning curve kicks in and these kind of home management techniques become second nature. The first time you bake a pie or make a biscuits from scratch it may take you awhile. By the time you make ten, they will be a lot easier to make. And when you have made these dishes over and over, well, you will be able to make a pie crust and fill it with something good or toss some biscuits in the oven in no time. I generally recommend that people start small and keep practicing prepping for meals. It's the easiest place to start and has perhaps the greatest return for effort invested.
