I bought special little glass blue bowls just for that purpose. And I use them alll the time. I like to know I have everything in place. It makes it especially easy when working with a new recipe that I am not sure about the timing on. <br /><br />I haven't stopped by in quite some time because I kind of quit blogging for a bit. But now...I have moved my blog and am back to semi-regularly blogging. :)Charissehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06376154994844472080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224074171829015497.post-86236672940585932152011-04-25T05:43:43.260-07:002011-04-25T05:43:43.260-07:00I would love to prep everything before I start coo...I would love to prep everything before I start cooking but I am always short on time and often inspiration - often I chop and cook onions and garlic whilst I decide what it is I am going to cook.<br /><br />My 3 year old son loves to cook and my husband lets him chop veggies...this kinda freaks me out and also slows me down but I have just found a child safe knife so if you fancy large and odd shaped veggies in your food maybe your boys could do some of your prep!!!Rifffkirnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224074171829015497.post-47709029839886253952011-04-24T20:03:55.740-07:002011-04-24T20:03:55.740-07:00i live by mise en place....i try to prep everythin...i live by mise en place....i try to prep everything while the kids are napping so that I can just throw it together at dinner time....it makes everything so much less stressful!kristahttp://www.greenthimble.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224074171829015497.post-61591307095397736272011-04-23T20:15:28.614-07:002011-04-23T20:15:28.614-07:00I do the same thing!

By the way, the table runner you made inspired me to make my own.
