"Cheater" Foods

In light of my last post- in which I urge you to help younger women in the everyday- I'd like to pose homemaker questions every now and then, so that we can share and learn from each other. Because God can even use the Internet as a mentorship tool : )

I must admit that I used to be a bit of a cooking snob. I didn't use "cheater" foods. You know the ones that take something that you could make from scratch easier by doing half of the process for you. I thought I was "above that" or something..."

Since getting pregnant and not feeling like cooking much and since having a baby who leaves me very little time to cook... I have repented of my ways.

So my question for you is: What are some of your favorite "cheater" foods? Ones that save time, aren't overly expensive and still taste yummy.

Here are a few of mine:

Bagged salad- so easy to grab a handful of leafy greens- gotta love quick nutrition!

Instant potatoes- I never made mashed potatoes because they took too much time...

Rotisserie chicken- my ALL TIME FAVORITE- I chop it up and use it in everything!!
