Here's how Karen streamlines dinner takeout:
I keep menus from restaurants in my neighborhood in my desk at work for days when I’m too beat to cook.

There’s no wait, and it makes a brutal day much easier.

I'm a stay-at-home-mom, but for our tough days I've stocked my husband's glove compartment with take-out menus so he can do the same.

Make sure that your take-out choices are as healthy as your home meals. Many restaurant meals have portions that are far too large for one person and are high in fats and calories. Most chains offer some kind of healthy options - don't sacrifice nutrition for time!
