Bookmark this CookingLight page now. They call it the Superfast list - healthy, easy, and fast recipes. I have yet to try them but I took a look at a few and they look easy enough for an amateur like me with an all-electric kitchen (AEK).
My real goal is to find recipes that are able to take its list of ingredients and not have any leftovers of them. Ok, that sounds a bit awkward. I realize that most recipes I make will have leftovers. I eat more than one serving, and recipes are for 4-6 servings, on average.

Consider yourself organized, or aspire to be? Lifehacker provides some creative tips on how to make your cooking simpler with “Kitchen Timesavers That Speed Up Dinner.” The best idea for me? Stick a conversion chart on the inside of one of your cupboards.
I have some cookbooks from my travels - and gee - why does everyone else cook with a metric system except for the US?! I’ve realized that I procrastinate from cooking wonderful (and easy) dishes from Spain and Cuba because I can’t be bothered with searching another book for the conversions!

Have you ever used your freezer to freeze foods other than the type that comes in little boxes and requires a microwave to heat up?
The Former Fat Guy Blog goes over a very informative and detailed list of how to freeze foods. He covers freezing specific vegetables, fruits, nuts, meats, seafood, and even pastries (who knew?). He even provides ideal freshness times.
For example, did you now that “Freezing meat doesn’t magically reverse spoiling. Make sure the meat is fresh to begin with.”?? Doh! No worries, friends, I don’t (really) do that anymore. *cough*.

The folks over at Yahoo! Food have some recommendations on healthy microwave frozen meals for those of us that don’t have the time to cook a meal, and are too hungry to call and wait for take-out!
In looking at their healthy recommendations, I would assume these are lower in fats and calories than that of other comparable brands. However, I do know that some of them Lean Cuisine and Smart Ones are Lean in terms of portion size, y’know wh’m sayin’?? Grubgirl recalls having had to eat two of those blocks of ice in her heyday, thus probably defeating the purpose of portion control.
