If you have a freezer, you can save a lot of time substituting frozen vegetables for fresh. The texture is often inferior, but nutritionally they're just as good if not better, because they're picked in peak condition instead of early for longer shelf life. They're usually sold pre-chopped, and you can buy them infrequently in bulk. You can also save a lot of time using an automatic electric pressure cooker. Frozen vegetables can be cooked at the same time as dried grains and legumes, and the timer won't start until the correct temperature is reached, so there's no need to defrost the vegetables first. The pressure cooker will cook things faster than a conventional cooker, but the biggest time saving is from the automation, allowing you to run it unattended.
