[quote=Anonymous]I get home at 5/5:15pm and cook 4 nights/week.  I have an infant and a 4yo.  On Fridays we either go out or eat leftovers.

I carry the infant while I cook (suuper easy heh) or I put her in high chair and throw food at her.  I put 4yo on the counter and got her some kid knives and let her go nuts on some fruits or something.

I meal plan on the weekend and shop usually on Sundays.  Each day I buy enough to feed us all + lunches the next day.  Every dinner has 3 parts: protein, vegetable, and starch.  I really like food and enjoy cooking for the most part so that plays into this too.

Some examples:
- Breaded fish fillets, steamed green beans, rice. I make rice in the instantpot, beans on the stove and fish goes in oven all simultaneously.
- pasta bake: saute loose sausage while boiling noodles, dump sausage and noodles into a pot with sauce, cheese, and some veggies, bake for 15min
- turkey meatballs with boxed cream of mushroom soup "gravy", over couscous (instantpot) with steamed asparagus on the side
- homemade pizza + salad[/quote]
