[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I LOVE to cook, and hate cooking dinner. I'd rather cook and elaborate meal for 20 people than whip up something quickly for the 3 of us.[/quote]

Me too. Probably because the 20 people I would invite for dinner will all rave, whereas the people I live with just push food around on their plate and are "full" after three bites. Ingrates. [/quote]

Isn't amazing how much a difference an appreciative audience makes?

Self-inflicted difficulty is that I don't like leftovers for dinner, although I love them for lunch. And none of us really care for cold sandwiches.

What helps: 
* a long list of meals that are acceptable to everyone and can be on the table within 30 minutes of getting home.
* using the grill most nights (means DH cooks the meat and I have less to do in the kitchen; for some reason if the meat is cooked inside, I have to do the meat and the veggies without burning anything and carrying on a conversation and supervising homework)
* crock pot once a week
* planning ahead (make a menu and shop only once a week)
* good marinades
* breakfast for dinner every now and then[/quote]
