[quote=Anonymous]I used to follow something called once-a-month-cooking.  The idea was to set aside one afternoon a month and prep a whole bunch of entrees (ostensibly a month's worth, although I usually did 15-20 and used them once every few nights for a couple of months).  Each one went into the freezer in a ziploc bag or freezer tray.  There are tons of menus and recipes online, but it really comes down to just picking entrees that your family would like.  Then you'd pull one out and put it straight in the oven (or move to the fridge the night before to thaw, then cook in a skillet or whatever), and make any sides while the main dish is cooking.

The other thing I like to do is take an hour on Sunday to write out a menu for the week, and start some prep work: wash the lettuce, trim or chop vegetables.  I find it's much easier for me to cook dinner if I come home from work to a written menu, chopped vegetables, meat pulled from the freezer and thawing in the fridge ... if I come home without a plan, I'm much less likely to actually cook.[/quote]
