I use V8 for beef veg soup & think it adds a lot of flavor.

I like to cook, but doing it the same way I quilt. Cooking what I want,when I want.There's just 2 of us home, so don't cook as much as I used to.Love to bake & have the pds to prove it :-)

My favorite throw together is to jump in the truck and go to Whataburger.

Grilled open faced tuna sandwiches topped with shredded cheddar cheese if I don't have anything pre frozen to stick in the oven. I make double batches of casseroles, chili, soups, and freeze one pre baked or cooked. I stick the whole thing in the oven or pot frozen and heat up.

Another fast dish that my DH really likes. I cut bell peppers in half long ways, fill with frozen prebaked meatballs, fill the peppers with spaghetti sauce, cover and bake until peppers are tender. It's a savory meal that doesn't take any time at all. I keep cooked rice in the freezer stacked flat in vacuum bags. That's a time saver too. A Food Saver vacuum sealer is the best investment you'll make to help with your grocery budget. There are seal and boil bags available. I love those for leftover soups, stews, etc.
