[quote=Anonymous]RTO is the gift that keeps on giving, and I am preparing to hunker down for a miserable life for the foreseeable future. Take out is not practical or affordable and we need meal ideas. Very easy meal ideas I mean beyond “30 minute meals” all over the internet.

We have Trader Joe’s mandarin orange chicken on standby but not very healthy. latchkey kids know how to make rice and can do some simple things in the kitchen before we get home. But we need at least some variety. The first couple of weeks I spent my whole weekend cooking so that we would have food during the week, but that just exhausted me even more.

When I mean, simple, I mean really really simple like cutting up sausage, potatoes, and green beans and tossing them with oil, salt and pepper and throwing them on a sheet pan. That kind of thing. Low effort. For the weekend, things that are low effort, but take some time like baked potatoes are OK.

I’m also OK with cooking things like taco meat ahead of time as long as it doesn’t take up my whole weekend.

Ideas please! I am still getting used to being out of the house for 60 hours every week and also trying to feed us healthy meals.[/quote]
