[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dinner last night at my house:
Grilled cheese sandwiches
Ramen noodle soup (right from package directions) with shredded carrots added
Sliced apples

On table in 15 minutes after walking in door[/quote]

Now, see, this idea and the cheese plate idea above you would be fine if it was just me and the kids. But there is no way my husband would call those meals "dinner" so I find myself having to make something more substantial for him. [/quote]

cheese plate PP here.  In that case, I would tell DH that HE gets to make dinner :-)
If Dh is a meat+veg+starch kinda guy, I would only make 1-2 items per night, and get creative with leftovers (assuming he's okay with leftovers - my DH isn't).
Ie...
1. roast a chicken, some potatoes, and carrots (easy complete meal)
2. chicken sandwiches and salad
3. spaghetti and salad (make extra plain noodles for #4)
4. cold noodles, chicken breasts, broccoli (microwave if necessary)

etc.  I try to make a full, complete meal in one night, as rarely as possible.[/quote]
