[quote=Anonymous]When I worked part time I cooked a lot more from scratch. Now working full time I rely more on salad bags and shortcuts.

I keep a list of dinners we have had and liked on my notes app. It goes back a couple of years now. I don’t spend time noting recipes because I mostly cook without them (but I probably should when I cook something new) just the main cooked item and the sides only if they were special. Then I can go through with the fam and ask what they’re in the mood for.

My dh and both teens can cook, but I’m better and faster. The teens are also pretty busy with activities and homework and friends and I would frankly rather have them do their chores than cook whole meals. But they do it once a month or so. More in the summer when they have more time.

I have an instant pot and one of those big air fryers with trays (I can cook two things at a time like fish on one tray and vegetables on another and rice in the instant pot. I have a slow cooker but don’t use it as much, but that’s one to add to your rotation, especially in winter when you can just add ingredients for pot roast or stew in the morning and go to work. Basically—look for tools to help you. [/quote]
