Sometimes fussy meals just seem that way when you pile all of the steps into a busy little slice of time. Instead, consider how you might split the time it takes to put a complex dish together into steps that can be done well before it’s time to eat. Suddenly, fussy is just planned … and company-ready!

Having finally assembled a rye bread recipe for my bread machine that I really enjoy, it's time to put together one heck of an inspired reuben sandwich. Spending less than 10 minutes to prep the bread and making corned beef in the slow cooker make it a snap!
