Kudos to those WOHMs who manage to do this - or even just cook each night (instead of reheating)!  I WOHM FT and so does DH - we aim to cook 2 to 3 weeknights and the others are left-overs or something simple like heat-ups or sandwiches.  I am fine with this though.  Being "intense" about dinner would be wonderful if one of us SAH but would break us as is now.[/quote]

I'm the poster you are quoting. I need to clairify, I do bulk cooking 2-3 nights a week, so there is definitly a lot of re-heating going on in our house. I have 2 boys who are both in sports, so I have to prepare for nights that we have 15 min to prep and cook and eat.

Again, I'm so grateful to have a husband who shares the same view about the importance of home cooked whole foods (we also are on a tight food budget, so out of necessity, we don't do packaged food as well). I could never do this alone without his partneship.  He also handles all of the laundry in the house and with two growing boys, that in itself is huge task!  When you have a spouse that you divide and conquer with, it makes things much much easier. My DH also works a fairly normal schedule with a 45hr work week and a short commute.[/quote]

I agree, it is SO doable to eat healthy, whole foods and not have to commit a ton of time to it. Like this PP I depend on my husband to help - we meal plan and we enjoy cooking ahead on the weekends. I love the crock pot and otherwise have some 20-30 minute meals we make for the week ahead, and then supplement those with easy things we can either the night before after the dinner/bedtime routine or that night. It's really not that hard with planning.
