[quote=Anonymous]+1 for slow cooker. Some folks are equally successful with their pressure cooker, but I admit I'm not. My slow cooker and is are good friends thought the winter, though.

Make soup your friend. I find home made soup one of the best and easiest things to sustain us. Soup and crusty bread with salad is a full and healthy meal.

Another thing I do I chop a whole bunch of veggies on Sunday- peppers, cucumber and tomatoes, onions, broccoli, herbs, etc. I keep in a few Tupperware. With these I can add chicken, tofu, or beef (usually cooked on Sunday / Wednesday)  and make wraps one night, pho bowls or stir fry another,  pizza toppings, or omlettes on another.

I find people need to get off the idea of the typical "portion" plate idea of dinner (ie. meat, potato, green beans) to come up with easy dinners. If you eat like that, you won't be successful in dinner, fast. Eat breakfast for dinner sometimes ( a staple here, too). incorporate Ingredients you can use a few times. Cook ahead as much as you can. Sandwiches are healthy and filling, and you are not cheating your family eating lighter fare for dinner. And then when the weekend comes, make the special meals that need work.
