I love breakfast, but theres almost nothing I hate more than having to clean up the kitchen first thing in the morning on a workday. One way Ive totally solved this problem: To make my favorite kale and onion omelet, Ive been freezing and vacuum-sealing little cubes of sauted onion and sauted baby kale in advance, so all I have to do day-of is plop one of each into my pan to warm up, then throw some egg on top and call it a day.

Not only does this save me so much cooking time and effort in the moment, but it also means I can use my kale and onions at once instead of risking a portion going bad and having to throw out perfectly good produce. The key is a highly rated and well-reviewed compact vacuum sealer from Anova that I bought a few years ago on Amazon . It has completely lived up to the hype and been majorly handy, durable and most importantly time and money -saving.

I want to buy one for my sister, so I was thrilled to see its currently on mega-sale .
