i like it spicy: one day discovered dried African piri piri peppers and used them to make an arrabiata. It was my first experience with them and I didn't realize how potent they were-- I used a generous amount. 15 min post meal was a painful pyrotechnic experience.

When I buy a bag of lemons I zest them and then juice them all. I freeze the zest in little baggies and the juice I freeze in ice cube trays and then place in baggies in the freezer. It's very convenient for baking and cooking.

Make a menu weekly, planning each daily meal. That way you're not confused about what to fix for dinner that evening.
