[quote=Anonymous]You can spend Sundays with your family and still do a little planning (not precooking, just planning).  My system is committing to go to one grocery store once a week only and to plan simple meals with that timing in mind.  Write down your plan for each night of the week when you are going to cook and then go to the store and get everything you need for the week.  As PP wrote, keep a few simple meals in your rotation that you use and can make easily and quickly.  Even if you end up switching a meal or two around because things come up, you wont find yourself deciding after work that you need to go buy food for dinner and you will already have a meal in mind.  If you get into the habit of doing this every week at the time that works best for you, you will reduce the times that you are at a loss for what to feed your family.

PP had good ideas.  We also do things like chili and tacos, veggie risotto,  baked potatoes with toppings/cheese, stir fries, curry using jarred sauce over rice or couscous.  I like to roast a whole chicken and then use the chicken meat in things.  Also use things like chicken sausage to serve as the protein in a meal because it lasts a long time in the fridge and is easy to use.  [/quote]
