[quote=Anonymous]These are our Go To items for nights we're in a hurry:

Frittatas. Make them once or twice with a recipe and you'll see how easy they are.

Veggie burgers or tuna melts & sweet potato fries.

Huevos rancheros - throw a tortilla on a plate, dump some warm black beans on it, top with a fried egg, shredded cheese, and some cut up avocado. We usually warm the beans on the stove and add some garlic, onions, and extra cut veggies to them, but it's not necessary. Salsa & yogurt on top are good too. It's my 3yo's favorite dinner.

Ramen bowl. 
Simple version: Bring broth + cut veggies + a splash of soy sauce to a boil (you could use whatever frozen veggies your kids will eat). Add ramen or other noodles (just the noodles, not the spice pack) & whatever leftover meat you have, or cubed tofu. Done.
If you're feeling ambitious: flavor the broth with ginger and/or garlic and add a tiny bit of brown sugar or mirin. Top with sprouts, scallions, and cilantro.

Chilis are great to make ahead. Cheat and use the leftovers from you rotisserie chicken. Add beans, broth, canned tomatoes, spices, and some veggies.
