One of my most helpful short-cuts, is something I call This, then That. I transform one ingredient into two distinct dinners. Cooking a double batch of a key ingredient (e.g. pulled pork) once during the week gives you a head start on the second dinner days before the meal is ready to be served. For instance, my Slow-Cooker Pulled Pork can be reused later in the week in this amazing Carnitas-Style Taco Tower. I stretch the hands-on work of one meal into two!
