[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, can we hear from a 2 WOH family who gets home-cooked meals on the table each night without spending all day Sunday cooking for the week?

If you're SAH, of course you're getting a home-cooked meal together every day. Duh, that's your job. [/quote]
That's us but dh spends about half day Sunday prepping for the week. Once you have the go to meals, it gets a lot easier. We get home from work 5:30 ish, throw dinner in the oven and eat at 6 every night. [/quote]

I WOH and try to cook something most nights.  My DH has a longer commute so he comes home after we've eaten and we're halfway through kids homework time.

My kids are in aftercare so about 2x a week I stop by HT which is on the way (between work and school) and pick up fresh fish or meat and organic greens if we don't have any. 
When I get the kids home, I warm up the oven while I change clothes and the kids unpack their backpacks and set up for homework time (after dinner).  I put the fish in the oven (I cook salmon - 25 minutes / talapia - 15 minutes, etc. as I try to find fish you can cook in 1/2 hour or less. While fish is cooking, I either make a salad or microwave frozen vegetables depending on what we are having.  I also may make some rice on the side.   We are all sitting down eating after about 1/2 hour of coming in the door.  I don't always have a meat, I may have a pasta w/salad dinner which also takes no time to cook.  Unfortunately my DH isn't usually with us, he gets the leftovers when he walks in the door.

Oh - need to add; [b]I HATE cooking.  I find it a chore rather than a joy.[/b]  My DH on the other hand LOVES to cook.  On weekends - it is his turn.[/quote]

I find cooking a chore as well, and as a result we don't eat very well.  I'd like to change that, but its hard when you don't enjoy the process.[/quote]
