How to Make Homemade Pesto

Keeping fresh basil on hand makes homemade pesto easy. Basil is the basis for pesto, and using fresh basil that you have just cut from the stem makes your pesto incredibly flavorful. If you are serving pesto with pasta, the pesto can be made in the time it takes for the pasta to boil, so this is really a quick stovetop meal. Pesto freezes well, so it's easy to make a bulk batch and keep it on hand in the freezer.

Chicken Tetrazzini

Rich and creamy Chicken Tetrazzini is a colorful and tasty weeknight dinner. Using cooked chicken from the freezer makes stovetop meals, soups, and casseroles like this tasty Chicken Tetrazzini a snap to prepare. Canned soups ease the prep time, but a homemade white sauce and sautéed mushrooms can be used in place of the soups if you prefer.

Slow cooker recipes are a great way to make a low stress dinner at home. It shouldn't take more than 5 minutes to put the ingredients for this flavorful dish into the slow cooker in the morning, and when you get home all you need to do is cook the egg noodles and heat up a side or throw a salad together for a full meal.

Vegetable Stromboli

I love recipes like this because they are so easily adapted to what you have on hand. There are so many combinations that would be good—mix it up by using leftover meat or spinach instead of the vegetables listed, or try swapping out different cheeses. Anytime you can reduce waste by using leftovers instead of throwing them away, you save money.
