[quote=Anonymous]I usually cook in the morning. My only thing is that I use a lot of pots and pans.  My DH or kids clean it up later in the day.

For example right now I have already made - green mung bean daal with tons of coriander, ginger, spices  in one pressure cooker, tomato (with onions and garlic) soup in another pressure cooker, a rice pilaf with spices and mixed veggies (frozen pack from costco) in another pressure cooker, and a boneless chicken thighs curry in another pot.

I have a tray with cauliflower florets roasting in the oven, one tray with cut up sweet potatoes. I will add spices, lemon juice, olive oil to both the veggies and serve as sides.  Otherwise, I will dunk it in a yogurt-peanut spiced curry if I want to make it into a curry,

I have grated carrots and radishes for salad, and I have chopped up onions and tomatoes for making a raita later.

This will be lunch as well as dinner.    My DH is going to be home for lunch around 1 pm.  I have skipped making rotis because my family like the chicken curry with rice. So, this is a homemade meal that can be stretched to accomodate more people without any problem and it can also feed vegetarians and vegans.

If you cook every single day, then you have the basis for the next few meal already baked into your routine.  I have boiled potatoes and blanched spinach to be used for another side for tomorrow.  Your mind also starts to work differently and your wastage is to a minimum.  My neighbors also benefit from my cooking.

If I am in a rush, I will serve my family with a hearty veggi salad first, followed by fruits with  dips as appetizers.  Only then I will follow up with daal, chappati/rice and a curry or two.  [/quote]
