[quote=Anonymous]We spend probably an hour, here's a sample last night:

Cut up peppers, onions and cilantro, mix a corn flower batter and stir in salmon and fresh cut vegetables.  Mix all and pan fry into salmon cakes.

Whipped up a cilatnro-lemon-dijon-mayo sauce for topping fish cakes.

Wash and Cut up tomatoes, carrots, onion, and lettuce for a tossed salad.

Peeled and cut steamed sweet potatos for youngest; diced and tossed with oil to bake tofe for youngest.

Seared a steak for the adults.

One kid was too hungry to wait, so also used a pan to cook some frozen dumplings.

--- The bigger question is after taking 1 hr to make dinner from scratch, then eating dinner, how long does cleanup take?  We usually have to empty the dishwasher from the night before, load as much as we can (but one nights dishes and cookware never fit in a single dishwasher load); which means we then handwash the remainder, lay out towels to counter dry the overflow.  Then wipe down counters, clean up stove, and sweep the floor.  It often takes longer to clean than to cook honestly.[/quote]
