I love to cook, especially on days or nights when I'm not in a major rush, and I could take my time and enjoy the process. It helps to clear my mind. What I don't love is having a big mess at the end of the cooking session...or after we eat.

The trick to avoiding time-consuming clean-up after cooking is to keep it clean as you're going. Here are some things I do each night as I'm cooking to significantly reduce clean-up time after dinner.

1) Use a scrap bowl. I keep one large bowl on my kitchen counter right in front of the area where I'm working. As I'm peeling potatoes, trimming herbs, and chopping vegetables, the scraps immediately go into the big bowl. All scraps are contained in one bowl, and when I'm done, those scraps can all be disposed of at once.

2) Put it away when done. As I'm pulling ingredients out of my refrigerator or pantry, I immediately measure the desired amounts into nesting bowls or mixing bowls. Then, the container, whether it's heavy cream, flour, or bread crumbs, is immediately placed back into the fridge or pantry.

3) Think ahead of time. Rather than using several cutting boards, bowls or utensils, think about how you can multi-task your tools. For instance, I use one cutting board to cut all the vegetables I need. You may be able to add both the butter and the sugar to the same mixing bowl, if you're going to be creaming them together in a few seconds. You may be able to place ingredients right into the pot after measuring them, instead of first putting them into a bowl, and then transferring them into the pot. Take a moment to think things through, and you'll have less to clean and put away.

4) Clean up spills right away. If something spills, I immediately clean it up. The last thing you need is for something to start dripping from the counter onto your floor--then you'll have to spend more time mopping later. You might even end up stepping in it and tracking it into other rooms!

5) Use time productively. Yes, some items will probably need to be hand washed. I handle tasks like this during cooking 'waiting times,' like while I'm waiting for water to boil. Don't just stand there idly. Use that time to clean and/or organize.

6) Prepare for dish washing. The second I'm done using a bowl, dish or utensil, it's immediately rinsed off and placed in the dishwasher. This prevents foods from having a chance to stick and keeps my cooking area free for other necessary preparation.

For super quick details on how you can sing better than you ever imagined, visit:

Have you ever found yourself alone, singing a song...maybe out of tune... only to realize a co-worker or family member listening and making fun of your ability? Or maybe it was an insensitive joke, like: 'Don't give up your day job.'

We shrug these things off and pretend they don't bother us, but it hurts and it ruins our joy of singing.

On the other hand, you may be very excited to know that, within a matter of weeks, you could...

Sing so incredibly well and with such power and expression, that when people listened to your voice, they felt goosebumps and welled up with emotional tears?

This leads me to something that is really good that I know you're going to love. If you've ever wanted to learn how to sing (or to sing better), this singing course is head and shoulders above the rest...it's called Singorama 2.0.

Learn how to:

* Sing with effortless strength
* Increase your vocal range by at least an octave
* Sing with beautiful tone and perfect pitch

* And so much more...(just visit the link and see for yourself!)

P.S. Sing like an angel with the confidence of a rock star! PLUS, it comes with WONDERFUL complimentary bonuses too. Don't delay...I'll remind you only up until October 23rd! Visit:
