I know what you mean. My youngest son can clean out a refrigerator in a heartbeat and his heavy workout schedule keeps him fit as a fiddle. Like you, I have been working to become more efficient with my cooking while minimizing the cleanup that follows.

We fixed a huge pan of baked spaghetti yesterday (2 16 oz. boxes). I had made the spaghetti sauce the day before and added ricotta, fresh mozzarella, shredded mozzarella, and parmesan cheese to the mix.

I have not used my smoker much so far this year but it is a very efficient way to cook large quantities of meat without creating a huge mess.

Fixing smoothies with an immersion blender is also a great way to cut down on dirty dishes and utensils. A big bag of spinach, a freezer full of fruit and avocados, and a few stainless steel tumblers, and you're all set.

I also used the blender to chop my dried peppers, sauteed onions, and canned tomatoes in the skillet as my pasta sauce cooked. I should have bought a good immersion blender years ago.
