[quote=Anonymous]We do a lot of prepping on Sunday and sometimes Monday evenings. Especially in the winter, when we want things like chili, soups and stews. Our kids are 2 and 4, and our nanny feeds them before we get home -- they start melting down if they don't eat early, or they need a snack and then won't eat dinner. She feeds them things we've premade, and sometimes needs to make rice or pasta to supplement (spaghetti and meatballs, tikka masala, chicken and rice, hot dogs, chicken nuggets).

For DH and I, we do things like:
-put chicken italian sausages in the toaster oven to bake for 20 minutes, and toward the end, sautee peppers that we had pre-sliced some other time - sometimes I add some spinach as well
-the next night, I slice the leftover sausage, sautee with more peppers, cook some pasta, and toss it all together with a bit of olive oil and parm for those who want it
-ground turkey can give us tacos for two dinners
-all of the above is served with salad, we make a couple of days worth at a time
-we sometimes make a few days worth of roasted vegetables, too, to serve adults and kids
