[quote=Anonymous]WAHM. I cook 2-3 nights per week and trade off clean up (so if I cook, my husband cleans, vice versa). 10-15 min in the morning to empty dishwasher, pick up any stray dishes, make coffee & my own breakfast. 5-10 min to fix my preschooler's lunch On nights I cook, 20-40 mins to cook dinner. If I clean up, about 10 min. So I average around 45 min to an hour each day. Here are my tips, as much as they are (and sounds like you have special dietary needs in your family, so I have different circumstances). -Everyone eats the same meal for dinner. Can you develop a repetoire of a few dishes that meet everyone's dietary needs? I can't fathom having to cook multiple different meals in one night. I'd go nuts. -Preschooler gets leftovers or some variation for lunch -On weekends, I cook double and freeze half -On weeknights, two pots per meal, max -I stew or braise in my slow cooker overnight [/quote]
