Never fear though, I&#8217;ve developed some quick tips for weeknight meals that are 100% going to make your life easier!<\/h2>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18310\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.afterhoursagency.com\/wgc\/wp-content\/uploads\/DIY_BRUSCHETTA_BAR-copy3.jpg\" alt=\"Tomato Confit \/ Shortcut Kitchen by What's Gaby Cooking\" width=\"870\" height=\"1193\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You see, it&#8217;s all about a little prep work. I&#8217;m not talking anything strenuous&#8230; just a few minutes here and there when you&#8217;re feeling inspired and it&#8217;s going to make your week that much easier!<\/p>\n<p>There are 4\u00a0shortcuts\u00a0I have on hand at almost any time. My <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.afterhoursagency.com\/wgc\/basil-vinaigrette\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">basil vinaigrette<\/a>. This <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.afterhoursagency.com\/wgc\/roasted-red-pepper-pasta\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">roasted red pepper sauce<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.afterhoursagency.com\/wgc\/saffron-tomato-confit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tomato Confit<\/a>. And my <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.afterhoursagency.com\/wgc\/homemade-tzatziki\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">homemade tzatziki<\/a>. Between the 4\u00a0of those, I can make magic.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18309\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.afterhoursagency.com\/wgc\/wp-content\/uploads\/Roasted-Red-Pepper-Sauce-1.jpg\" alt=\"Roasted Red Pepper Sauce \/ \/  Shortcut Kitchen by What's Gaby Cooking\" width=\"870\" height=\"1088\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For example &#8211; any of those would be the perfect to serve on top of a bowl of quinoa. Alternatively they&#8217;d be great on top of a bowl of leftover roasted vegetables.<\/p>\n<p>The basil or red pepper sauce make for excellent salad dressings and double as the pasta sauce you&#8217;ll ever have. All of them\u00a0go perfectly over a store bought rotisserie chicken or any grilled protein for that matter! Baking a fish or roasting a piece of meat &#8211; these are all perfect compliments.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18308\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.afterhoursagency.com\/wgc\/wp-content\/uploads\/Homemade-Tzatziki-1.jpg\" alt=\"Homemade Tzatziki \/  Shortcut Kitchen by What's Gaby Cooking\" width=\"870\" height=\"1088\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re flying solo, and I do from time to time, the tzatziki with carrots and celery makes a perfect single ladies dinner. Throw in a few crackers and you&#8217;re done.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18307\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.whatsgabycooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Simple-Basil-Vinaigrette3.jpg\" alt=\"Simple Basil Vinaigrette \/  Shortcut Kitchen by What's Gaby Cooking\" width=\"870\" height=\"1088\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Do you guys have any shortcuts that make you&#8217;re life easier in the kitchen?
