Organize the menu. Plan the shopping ahead, make your first dish help with your second (ie roast chicken, then use leftover meat for enchiladas the next day). Just knowing what you're supposed to be cooking ahead of time gives huge time dividends!

Actually, I am not a cook! My mother made wonderful meals, but I have never had much interest in cooking. My husband enjoys cooking and He would enjoy Anna's cookbook that is filled with elegant, no-fuss meals! My mother-in-law can put together a great meal in minutes using what is on hand. She is definitely my husband's mentor. Please enter us in your cookbook drawing. Many thanks, Cindi

I must say that my culinary mentor is the internet.... which in essence.... is all of you! I love to eat out at new restaurants and have loads of fun coming home to "surf" for recipes of the tastiest dishes that I have come had the pleasure of eating. The internet is such a wonderful place..... it is like having access to everyone's kitchen! Thanks to all of you!
