[quote=Anonymous]We get home at 6:45 (kids are in daycare and we all commute together), and I usually have dinner ready by 7.  Admittedly, 2 nights a week my mom brings us dinner, and occasionally we get takeout, so it's really only 2-3 meals during the workweek I have to deal with.  I have a few go-to meals that I can get done in 15 minutes:

1) chicken sausages (the pre-cooked kind) on the grill and a bean salad, either pre-made or with the veggies already chopped.  If corn on the cob is in season I do that on the grill too.
2) Stir fry (everything chopped and measured out the night before, rice is cooked the night before and reheated)
3) Various kinds of chilis, stews, and casseroles reheated (I usually make this for a meal on the weekend and make enough to have a second dinner during the week)
4)  Tacos (shrimp with Frontera Grill sauce, ground beef or turkey with the taco seasoning you buy in an envelope, or shredded chicken made the night before) with refried beans from a can.[/quote]
