[quote=Anonymous]Here are some easy options:

Whole wheat pasta with jarred tomato sauce, steam in bag microwavable broccoli

Refried bean burritos with whole wheat tortillas, salsa, tomatoes and shredded lettuce, sour cream and cheese

Homemade chicken nuggets (easy to do - cut up into small pieces, dredge in egg, dredge in whole wheat bread crumbs mixed with parmesan cheese and some seasoning, bake on a cookie sheet coated with cooking spray on 350 for about 15 minutes) with sweet potato fries and a green vegetable

Use the crock pot as your friend - visit the 100 Days of Real Food Blog to check out her whole chicken in a crock pot recipe.  Part of the chicken can be used for one meal - pair it with Uncle Ben's microwable wild rice packet and a steam in bag veg, use the leftovers to make stock (you do it right in the juices from the first meal) and then use the stock and leftover chicken to make soup - add some frozen peas and carrots, diced celery and onion, and a bay leaf.  Cook on low all day - done!

I know it is hard - but I manage by spending my first 30 minutes in the office on Monday planning a few meals for the following week.  (You can use your lunch hour or 30 minutes after your kid goes to bed if this works better for you.)  I then go to Peapod and put everything I need into an order.  They deliver every Friday and then I am set for dinners for the following week.  Wash rinse repeat every Monday and then you are always planning ahead and never stuck in that what's for dinner conundrum.  It saves me so much time and money.[/quote]
