I am trying to put together a list of cooking tips for a newlywed wife. What are some tips that would have been helpful for you had you known them when you first started cooking?

Don't microwave metal! lol oops…
Put about a half a teaspoon of sugar in the water when you are boiling frozen vegetables, it'll make them taste fresh.

inventive ways with left overs. No one wants to eat the same thing day after day, but on the other hand when newly wed you have no money. Also cleanliness, no good keeping left overs and poisoning you both as a result. Luckily I no longer have to eat UFO's….. unidentified frozen objects BUT I wish I new 20 years ago how to make leftovers taste different x

Keep your kitchen clean and your knives sharp, use the right tool for the job, don't be a slave to recipes, and always taste what you prepare before you serve it. If you wouldn't eat it, why should anyone else?.

When you're starting out baking, follow the instructions and measurements.
Stir pasta often, otherwise it'll stick and burn
Stir soups often too for the same reason
They say not to peek at rice, but do it anyway and give it a stir
When gravy recipes say to add the liquid all at once, ignore that and do it gradually while whisking.
There's a huge difference between baking soda and baking powder
Save leftover celery tops for stock, and buy little baby carrots for freezing…easy stock.
It's cheaper to buy blocks of cheese, shred it, and freeze it.
Learn where the salt is in the grocery store, otherwise you'll break down crying
When the crab legs smell like ammonia, don't take the chance, you'll regret it
Plastic tupperware bins are your friend for keeping bugs out of sugar and flours
It's easier to clean burner pans when they're still warm
When the disposal starts to smell, don't call the plumber, toss some lemon rinds down there

Um, that's all for now

ALWAYS have 2 separate cutting boards.
One for meats and one for vegetables.
Never ever use the same cutting board for both or you'll be giving that new husband some serious food poisoning.

Use parchment paper for baking. It's amazing stuff and can go in oven up to 400 degrees. Cuts WAY down on washing, and burnt cookies!
If you're busy, still cook. Casseroles are your friend - just combine stuff, put in oven, put your feet up for an hour and talk with your husband!
The best foreplay is my husband washing the dishes!
Don't skimp on getting good quality cookware and bakeware.
Dollar store spices are just as good as pricey brand name ones.
Most husbands eat anything. Just as long as someone else cooks it.
However, have him cook - even if he says he can't. My husband has specialty dishes I make him cook every few months.
