(FastCompany) Sometimes I feel like my wife and I spend more time planning meals than actually cooking them. It’s a weekly brainstorming session wherein we somehow forget every dish we’ve ever enjoyed and have to come up with all-new dinner ideas from scratch.
No more! We’ve vowed to get culinarily organized. Here are three great tools we’re using to help us keep the kitchen in order without spending much time doing it.
YUMMLY QUICK & EASY
If you’ve ever been on a cooking blog, you know that most recipes kick off with about 15 paragraphs of the cook’s personal backstory before getting to the actual step by step instructions.
Enter Yummly, which aggregates great recipes from the nearly endless collection of cooking sites around the web. It helpfully creates a landing page of sorts for each recipe, which tells you how long it’ll take to make, the ingredients you’ll need, and even offers to search nearby grocery stores to have those ingredients delivered. Once you’ve decided to commit to a particular recipe, you’ll be shuttled off to its original cooking blog.
Yummly’s Quick & Easy section is a must for finding recipes that use only a handful of ingredients, take only a handful of minutes to make, or both. You’ll find plenty there to keep the stove hot day after day.
And if you happen to run out of ideas from Yummly, Epicurious has a great Quick & Easy section as well.
