[quote=Anonymous]A menu plan is your friend. As others have said, once a week map out your meals for the week. Try to use recipes that will either make good leftovers or do double-duty. Another PP made the good suggestion of making soup out of the bits and pieces -- I do a "clean out the pantry/crisper" soup now and then, which is basically a vegetable soup with some pasta, beans, or rice in it. As for the mess: Clean. As. You. Go! While something is simmering or in the oven, wash the dirty utensils/bowls, or load the dishwasher, and wipe down the counters. Also I do not make complicated recipes that require me to use a bunch of different pots and pans -- the one-dish or at most two-pot meal is what works for me. Look at casserole recipes. And also Crock Pot recipes. [/quote]
