Question by Missy H: What are your tricks for cooking every day when you don't enjoy it?

I don't hate cooking, but I hate the inconvenience. A few times a week, I don't mind. But I dread the thought of cooking dinner every day. Unfortunately, due to health issues my husband and I need to start eating home cooked food more - no eating out, no processed foods. What are your personal tricks for making cooking faster, more interesting and more fun everyday?

leftovers are a mainstay, and I try do cook "en masse" so there are leftovers. Cook more rice than you need, and use it the next day in a different way, like a fritatta or stir fry. You can do the same with pasta.
Pasta salad, pasta with meat sauce... et al. It really is a great way to use the imagination. Create your own recipies, cook together, and laugh alot when you do it.
