[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I make dinner every night, but make enough so it's the next day's lunch for the kids too. It literally takes me 30 minutes to make a tasty nutritious meal for my family, and it's totally worth it to me. DH does all the dishes and clean up.[/quote]

What do you make? People claim 30 minutes but it’s often closer to an hour.[/quote]

Sheet pan dinners with a convection oven like salmon, instant pot stews and curries, one pot stovetop dishes like shrimp with pearl couscous, sear steak in a pan for a few minutes and into the oven to finish, while it's cooking I make the salad.[/quote]

This is how I cook too.  It only takes maybe 10-15 minutes to prep dinner for six.  Sometimes it’s in the oven for a little bit, but that’s fine.

Similar approach here. I do a lot of prep on Sundays - chop and clean vegetables, marinate meat so that it can be tossed in the oven the following day, etc. On a daily basis all I make is sides (roasted veggies, potatoes, couscous, etc) and salads. I may spend an extra 10 minutes prepping salmon to be cooked the next day or something. Doesn't take me long at all and we almost never eat out. My husband does the dishes. I am not some kind of martyr, if it took me hours every night, I wouldn't do it.    [/quote]
