[quote=Anonymous]I meal plan for the week ahead and grocery shop accordingly.

I tend to make a lot of fairly basic, not always the most super healthiest meals...this week my plan includes one-pot creamy parmesan chicken and rice, Cajun chicken and pasta, beef stroganoff and either shepherd's (cottage) pie or meatloaf with mashed potatoes. There's usually some kind of steamed vegetable involved as well. Other regulars include coconut chicken curry, the famous chicken shawarma, spaghetti and meat sauce, chicken alfredo, pan-fried tilapia, etc.

Watch a knife skills video on Youtube and learn how to chop fast to cut prep time. (Ha.)

All of my meals stretch--they feed all four of us for dinner and at least two lunches the net day.

I cook a couple meals on Sunday, usually the ones involving more prep.

I also negotiated shorter office hours into my job so 45-min commute + daycare pickups put me home between 5:30-6. We eat by around 6:30. Then bath and bedtime. Then I put in a couple more hours of work to make up for my shorter office hours.[/quote]
