Rachel Ray uses boxed ingredients and cuts corners wherever possible --- to help busy cooks save time. She specializes in using ingredients found in any supermarket. Consider saving specialty items, such as spices that must be special ordered or cuts of meat that are only found in special markets, for holidays or other special occasions.

Ray also specializes in using ingredients to fit any budget. Not putting a strain on your budget is an important factor of meal planning.
