[quote=Anonymous]OP, could you create a war chest of quick recipes and then prep/chop in advance? I cook from scratch every night, but what I make during the week can be made in less than 30 minutes with a baby and preschooler hanging on my legs. I sometimes prep out the ingredients the night before or on the weekends. There are a LOT of recipes that don't require too much active cook time to set up, but then passively simmer or bake while you can play with the kids. E.g., quiche, stew, chili, pasta sauce, etc. And there are also super-fast recipes that only require you have the ingredients prepped and 10 minutes to cook, e.g., stirfry, fried rice, udon and veggies, wraps, salads, quesadilla, frittata, shrimp scampi, etc. I've found ethnic food to be easier to prep and cook quickly than the traditional American meat-starch-veggie dinner. Once you have an arsenal of recipes like this, you'd be surprised how little effort dinner can take. [/quote]
