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*.
