Back in the saddle again

What's up guys.
 So we are back from our well deserved vacations, and I have so much to tell you guys.
 In the last few weeks we have had some awesome food. From Zucchini Blossoms stuffed with cod to raw conk salad. We have seen good service and really bad service, but over all really good experiences. With that said, let's move on to the good stuff. New restaurants have opened in the area, classes have started and the cooking nights are starting to get old. What could you do in those nights that you simply don't want to cook, but you have too. Here are a few tips that might help you out.

1. Try setting a menu per night.
     Get recipes and develop a full meal, and remember try to do something easy.
2. Try using similar recipes .
    By using similar recipes you avoid having to buy tons of ingredients.
3. Recycle.
    OK I'm not saying that you have to eat the same food every night, but with the same ingredients
     you can do different things. ej with cooked pasta you can do Asian noodles, spaghetti, soup, etc.
4. Pre-package your proteins. (Ziplock that Bitch)
    Divide your proteins in separated packages, when you get your proteins from the store or market, cut 
    the proteins and marinade them, this will keep them more fresh than usual and ready to defrost under
    water in an instant. ( don't remove from packaging while under running water)

I hope that this few tips will help you in your daily venture of cooking every night.

Cheers.
