[quote=Anonymous]I'm usually home from work between 5:15 and 5:30. In a typical workweek, I'll cook 3x and we'll do one night of leftovers and one of takeout. I try to have dinner on the table NLT 6:15, as I start bath/bedtime routine with DD (3) at 7. Meal planning and grocery shopping over the weekend is crucial, and batch cooking helps (made meatballs over the weekend - 2 lbs. of meat yields 32 meatballs, which is 4-5 meals' worth). I don't necessarily meal prep, but in the winter I might throw a soup or roast in the crockpot in the morning before work, or now I'll put meat in marinade for grilling. Takeout is often a rotisserie chicken, which can then yield a second meal (chicken salad, tacos, etc.).[/quote]
