[quote=Anonymous]I'm reading attentively because I'm in the same boat, but here's my latest routine: I prep as much of it as I can the night before, after the kids go to sleep. We're still not eating fancy, but if I throw together a steak or chicken marinade or some turkey burgers the night before (which takes 15 minutes) it only takes 15 minutes to actually cook them when I get home, which is about all I have before all hell breaks loose. I cant imagine you can get chicken nuggets or fish sticks on the table much faster, so if they'll eat meat this is a good way to go. I'll typically also prep a veggie (like chop up fresh broccoli to steam). I've found that I can make a big batch of rice and freeze it in plastic bags, then nuke it, so I can always add rice to a meal quickly if we need a starch; I also buy sweet potato fries at whole foods.[/quote]
