I make chicken soup but sometimes buy the knaidlach . It’s still a bowl of homemade soup. No one has to know that I bought the knaidlach.

I used to buy raw challah dough- braided.
All I had to do was egg the challah and bake it.
People would ask if I baked the challah. Yes, I did bake the challah.

I buy already spiced raw chicken cutlets. All I have to do is fry the schnitzel.

I love shortcuts! I have many more!

Buy side of salmon. Spray with avocado oil. Season heavily with trader joes seasoning. Bake. Serve on nice wooden board.

Microwave baby potatoes for a few min. Rub steaks with oil and season with salt and pepper. Also oil and season potatoes. Broil both.

Rinse pastrami roast and lay in pan. Add just a drop of water to steak. Cover and bake 300 for 4 hours.

Rinse, pat dry, and place duck in baking pan. Pour a jar of duck sauce over and add in 1 sliced orange and 8 whole garlic cloves. Cover and bake 350 for 3.5 hours.

white dunkin hines cake, strawberry jam and whip cream from a spray bottle = strawberry short cake.
when I make franks and blankets I use the regular hotdogs wrapped in dough and then cut them in small pieces. much faster then wrapping mini cocktail franks.
instant mashed potatoes + puff pastry dough = potato knishes
