[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for all the ideas. My kids basically refuse to eat Mexican unfortunately so that eliminates a lot of easy taco or tortilla meals or those involving beans. We tend to stick with asian and pastas.

I haven't done a lot of prepping but will now have to, so question for you preppers. If I slice meat and marinate for stir fry, would that last a few days in the fridge just marinating? If I need to blanch a veggie, like broccoli, can I do that night before and leave blanched veggies in the fridge?

And I just want to say how amazing all of you are who can juggle sports or activities after school and getting a decent dinner ready each night. My kids don't do a ton of activities and one of the main reasons I dont push it is I would not be able to handle the cooking. [/quote]

If your kids will eat stir fry, what I used to do is buy chicken in bulk and then into stir fry pieces and freeze in packs by the amount I use.  Then the night before, I put a pack in the fridge to defrost. I never tried to, but you probably could freeze it in a marinade.

I do think the one downside of 20 minute meals is you give up some quality.  So you could just try the recipe without blanching the vegetable. See if it makes a big difference.

I think as long as the marinade is acidic it might be fine. [/quote]
