[quote=Anonymous]We cannot afford to do that so we've learned how to make very easy meals at home. We always make food that produces leftovers, to reduce how much we have to cook. I make things that can be frozen for a month ahead of time, so if I make chili or enchiladas or baked ziti, I'll double the recipe and freeze one for a super easy meal (or two) a month from now. I also have a bunch of super fast meals we can do if we just have no energy, like: soup and sandwiches, pasta with Rao's sauce and sausage and a bag salad, or quesadillas with whatever veggies we have on hand.

You need a routine and a system, and it should be designed to minimize how much actual cooking you do on weeknights, because that's the pinch point. Maybe start by cooking a big meal on Sunday so that you can have leftovers Monday and also freeze some for a few weeks in the future. That's one night of cooking that will last you for four nights total. Do that every Sunday and you've already reduced the nights you eat take out by a lot.[/quote]
