Fast Food from Home Appliances

 Extra ingredients aren't the only options for preparing fast food at home.  Certain tools/appliances can provide fast options for our favorite long version meals.  Multi cookers like the Instapot, rice cookers, and other appliances can be some of the best "servants" in the kitchen.  A bread machine is another appliance that can be a true life-saver for busy cooks; the dough setting makes homemade pizzas and pigs in a blanket type meals a definite fast food from home possibility.

Another surprising "servant" to help with meals on busy nights is the slow cooker.  Preparing ingredients and freezing them ahead of time makes it super quick and easy to pull out a meal the night before, thaw it in the refrigerator, and pop it in the slow cooker before heading out the door in the morning.  When we return home at the end of the day supper will be ready and waiting when we walk in the door. 

Garage sales and online shopping sites are good sources for finding appliances at reasonable prices.  Spring is an excellent time for letting family and friends know you are in the market for these time-saving or time-creating appliances as this is a popular time of year for cleaning out closets and unused items in the home.  

The more I ponder the topic of fast food from home, the more I find to consider.  Ingredients, ideas, appliances, recipes, it's beginning to feel like a subject with limitless options.  The more I consider, the more that comes to mind.  It's been said, however, that all good things must come to an end.  I don't believe that is completely true.  I do agree that to everything there is a season and to everything there is a time.  With that being said, there are other topics to consider so it looks like it's time to put fast food from home away for a while.  

Thank you for reading, loved guests.  Your presence here is appreciated.  Enjoy each moment of every day together in love.
