[quote=Anonymous]We always make the bulk of dinner the night before - chop the veggies for salad and make salad dressing, chop/prep the veggies for the side dish, marinate the chicken, etc. If it’s something that can be cooked in 20 min or less, like salmon, we save the actual cooking part until we get home, but if it’s something that takes longer, like lasagna, we cook it the night before and then reheat at dinner time tee next day. It does limit some of the variety, but we would much rather have lots of raw veggies and a reheated main course and a more relaxing evening with our kids than rushing to pull dinner together as soon as we get home. Our kids are 1 and 3 so I’m sure as they get older and can stay up later this will get easier. Until then, lots of salads, easy veggie sides, and things like stews or simple pastas for dinner![/quote]
