My trick to defeat late night snacking is to do vegetable preparation for the next day while watching TV.

I choose my recipes and then do the prep. I make sure everything is ready before meal time. By doing it this way, assembly of the mail only takes about 30 minutes or less.

Another bonus to the system is that I preserve daylight hours for other tasks.

My favorite thing to do is to peruse my cookbook collection for new recipes.
