[quote=Anonymous]Plan for the week, so you don't waste time figuring out what you need to do. On nights when you have zero time or kids are going to different activities (so need meals at different times), the crockpot is your friend. Plan easier/quicker meals on nights you have a little time. If you have any nights that have more time, plan for more complicated meals - but we are talking stir-fry. Things that take time to cook like roasted chicken are out. Pre-prep when possible (although sometimes I find this just move the burden, not takes it away). If the kids are old enough, get them to help. When possilble, make double batches and freeze half for an easy meal the next time. I find combining take-out with some home-made stuff is a good combination of convenience and keeping the price down (buy a Peruvian chicken and add rice and salad). [/quote]
