[quote=Anonymous]Dont bother with meat sauce- get trader joes mini meatballs, some Aldi sauce, and some garlic bread. Pasta if necessary. Heat up meatballs (precooked) and sauce, add chopped spinach if you want. Or have it over steamed broccoli vs pasta. Garlic bread in Air fryer or oven.

Tacos are a time suck unless you have taco shredded chicken. Or use pre cooked fajita meat. IMO.

If you have a grille, grab pork tenderloins and Stonewall Kitchen Maple Balsamic or Apple Dijon sauce. Pour half the bottle in a bag or shallow pan with the pork tenderloins the night before or morning of. Grill those 10-15. Microwave sweet potatoes for 3-5 minutes then air fry for 15-20 min. While the sweet potatoes cool and the tenderloins rest of the grille, use a steamer to steam green beans.

Crockpot options abound.

Sheet pan salmon with veggies. You can get fresh or frozen salmon. Some seasoning and pre-diced/sliced mix veggies. Roast. Get a rice cooker and rice is ready in 15-20.
If your kids wont do salmon then do fish sticks.

WF has some really good burgers. If you have small kids you can make 1 burger and slice them horizontally to decrease the size and it makes two good kid size burgers. Bagged salad.

One of our fav weeknight meals that takes a bit longer but is amazing for leftover lunches is [url]https://thebetteredblondie.com/penne-pasta-with-veggies-chicken-sausage/#recipe[/url]. We dont use GF pasta and you can sub any sausage. Plus use whatever veggies you have on hand. Most nights we dont have tomatoes or asparagus so those get left out.

Breakfast- eggs plus toast. toast plus chicken sausage. pancakes and bacon- use protein pancakes if you want. French toast casserole [url]https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/french_toast_casserole/[/url] I omit the orange. Make this at night before bed or early morning, let it sit until the next afternoon and then bake and then its good for the following morning or lunch leftovers for the kids. Serve with milk and fruit.

You need to batch cook on the weekends. I know it sucks but it helps. [/quote]
