[quote=Anonymous]I'm coming to terms that the only "cooking" I can handle on a weeknight at 6pm is boiling pasta.  Nothing else, or my kids and I go insane and dinner ends up tasting crappy.  So I'm starting to collect ideas for dinners that I can almost 100% prep or even fully make ahead on Sunday afternoon that I can just pop in the oven with no extra work.. or even simply reheat.. each night at dinner time.

Things I'm already doing..

A meat sauce, fully made, which I reheat while cooking spaghetti.
chicken potpie, totally made, which I reheat.
Chili and a variety of other stews and soups, fully made, to reheat.
Salad totally prepped ahead on Sunday.

Where I'm lacking is the prep-ahead, cook that night meals.  Do you have anything that you prep on Sunday and then take 5 minutes to finish off and pop in the oven?  Maybe something like chicken and veggies in a pyrex marinating, that will hold (raw) for a few days in the fridge until I cook it on Wednesday?

We like to keep it as clean and healthy as possible, but we eat everything.  And I'm good on crockpot recipes, I throw at least 1 together a week.

Thanks![/quote]
