[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just want to thank everybody again for all the ideas.  We haven't stopped at a fast food place in two weeks. DS said he only missed it once. We've had "breakfast for dinner" - eggs, fruit & whole grain toast.  On a night when we got home a half hour early I made marinated chicken cutlets, sweet potatoes and green beans.  On a night when we got home a half hour late we had salads with cut up chicken that was leftover. Another night I made a salad and ravioli.

DS has been helping in the kitchen and it turns out he really likes it.  One Sunday he wrote out a meal and wanted to cook it, so we had baked salmon, roasted brussel sprouts, and quinoa. I kind of hate cooking, but he loves it. [/quote]

Go OP, go!  I'm so glad this is working for you!

A suggestion:  Keep a running list or, if you need recipes, a binder of meals that work for you on weeknights.  You can reference it as needed to figure out what will work during a given week, and keep adding to it as you find new things.  That way you don't have the sensation of inventing the wheel every time you take a little time to plan for meals.

Yay for you![/quote]
