I've tried to streamline my food preparation, as that was my biggest household time suck. I shop once per week, and on grocery day, I break down all the fruits, vegetables, and proteins into ready-to-cook portions. Because I rely heavily on roasting or steaming veggies, it takes less than a minute to prep those. I braise most of my meats, which requires only as much time as is needed to brown the outside of the meat and pop it in the oven. Most evenings, it takes me under 5 minutes of active work to get dinner ready, thanks to my advance prep work.


What is to give light must endure burning.
