Easy things to keep around that make dinner prep easy & quick?
I'm looking to collect some recipes for things that I can keep around that would make putting dinner together easier & quicker. I'm not looking for complete 'make ahead' meals, but rather components of meals that can be prepped ahead, and then used later to quickly put together a more complete meal.

Check out Tamar Adler's website and An Everlasting Meal for inspiration for cooking ahead.
Pasta sauces, Chicken Broth, Vegetable Broth, Rice, Beans
Roast onions, fennel, garlic and keep in refrigerator for a couple of days or freeze.
Once a week prepare all you fresh vegetables and they are ready to go when you need them.
I also can and dehydrate. Right now I have canned no meat pasta sauce, pickled onions, cauliflower and beets. I have dehydrated onions, tomatoes, butternut squash and peppers.
