[quote=Anonymous]For us it's more of a time issue, on the nights that kids have activities and we have 30-40 minutes total to unpack from work, cook eat, clean up, change into whatever they need to practice in, and get back in the car. It's so much easier if I can place an order before I leave the office, and dinner is there and ready when we get home. Our standbys for those nights are: Quick-cooking pasta (8 min boil time or less) and a jarred sauce. I make a huge batch of sauce a few times a year and freeze it, so I'll use that if I have it. Tuna melts on English muffins, topped with a slice of Provolone. Sliced veggies on the side. Scrambled eggs, frozen hash browns, fruit. I add chopped spinach to my eggs, kids aren't a huge fan of that. Fish & chips - frozen breaded cod from Costco with frozen French fries, all in the air fryer. Carrot & celery sticks on the side, or a cole slaw bag kit. [/quote]
