I just recently left the professional kitchen I had worked at for a long time... it was very far from home, I lived/worked onsite and rarely got home. Plus I've left cooking and taken a job in an unrelated field, so cooking will not be so much a part of my days anymore...

Now that I am home again for good and re-adjusting, I still am in "vacation/time-off" mode and cooking more for quick conveneince than anything else. I always have a Tyson Rotisserrie Hen in the fridge and also the freezer, as well as hot-smoked salmon... and I use these a lot for a quick Caeser-toss, omelets, chicken/smoked-salmon-salad-sandwiches, soups, quesadillas, pastas...

I also always keep a few other convenience-products on hand to add other ingredients to for "customizing" into a yummy meal when unexpected folks drop by, fortifying these with others ingredients. These products include: Zatarain's Jambalaya Rice, Stouffer's Chicken Lasagne, and stuffed/frozen Tamales.

Lastly, for when my niece and nephew call for impromtu visits I always multiply cookie dough recipes and keep a few scored rolls in parchment in the freezer so I can have the place smelling like fresh-baked cookies when they drop over...
