Great tips! Lately I have discovered the joys of cooking extra and freezing some for another meal (or 2). It’s wonderful! I’ll never be one of those women who cooks one day a month and freezes a month’s worth of meals, though
I can relate to Sephardi Lady’s comment – when I first got married, my husband had to do the cooking for Shabbat because I hadn’t a CLUE. Now I can make everything- soup, chicken, and side dishes- in a few hours.
Would you mind sharing your recipe for tuna casserole?

Rafi, that is another option; the only problem is that washing dishes interrupts your work flow. If you have a bin of soapy water ready, you do have to wash a lot of dishes at the end but it only takes a few minutes because they have been soaking.
Muse–I already sent it in.
Baila–you’ll have to organize it!

Ever since my wife had the baby (a little before really) I have been spending a lot of time in the kitchen, doing a lot of the cooking for the family.
I have found that, regarding your #5 (cleanup) a lot of time can be saved if you wash what you use right when you finish using it. We are inclined to finish cooking and wash the pots later. In the meantime the stuff dries up and crusts over making it difficult to wash later. Also the buildup of pots becomes daunting and you end up procrastinating because you are scared of the big pile of pots and dishes.
I have found that if you wash the pot right away, it cleans very easily and quickly – much easier than if you would wait and clean it later. You then have a clean kitchen and no buildup of a big pile of dirty stuff in the sink.
