Philosophy
I like to cook, but I don't like it to get complicated. The less ingredients I have to deal with, the better. I'm not very patient in the kitchen, so when I cook, I want it to come together fast. I also don't have a super-well stocked kitchen, so I've really just got the basics to work with. I don't use many exact measurements, but fortunately, most of these recipes are hard to mess up. As they say, baking is a science but cooking is an art.

Quick Pasta with Meat Sauce
Here's a quick tip if you like pasta with meat sauce but don't feel like cooking a whole box of pasta and a pound of ground beef for one. Instead, buy a bag of frozen meatballs to keep in the freezer. Start off by boiling half a box of pasta in a 3 qt saucepan. While it's cooking, put 3 or 4 frozen meatballs in a bowl and defrost them in the microwave. Once they're warm, drain the grease, quarter them and pour in half a jar of pasta sauce. Warm the sauce in the microwave. When the pasta is cooked, drain it and add the sauce. You'll have a bowl for now and one for later.
