help with mise en place ...
I am a wonderful cook if I limit myself to the meat entree or a side vegetable dish. I am not so wonderful if I have multiple dishes to get on the table. Typically, I will focus on one difficult dish and the rest of the meal must be simple reheats from a can.

...
Other suggestions on things like pre-cooking meats and prepping vegetables would be very welcome. Thanks.
