[quote=Anonymous]With your kids still young, you should be able to get by cooking 2-3 nights per week and doing leftovers on the off nights. If not straight up leftovers, you can incorporate the leftovers into something super easy such as a scramble, quesadillas, stir fry, fried rice. For this reason, I tend to keep week night meals simple to optimize what I can do with leftovers. Basically a meat, a grilled vegetable, a grain. Mix and match. I play around with marinades and mostly do roasted vegetables with various fresh herbs and spices. Grains I keep brown rice, quinoa, lentils, beans always available to cook in different ways. One of my kids’ favorite is pesto pasta. I make the pesto (easy and so much better than the jarred). Cook pasta, add some frozen peas in last couple minutes. Drain and mix with the pesto sauce while hot. This is good cold the next day too. You can customize and add grilled chicken, sun dried tomatoes..whatever you want [/quote]
