[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well I don't cook meals that require me to be in the kitchen for 2.5 hrs. At least not during the week. Most weekday meals have a 45 min cook time, tops. DH works from home and consistently gets done at 515.  I get home at 4ish.  We eat around 630-700 depending on if DS has an activity.   We are asleep around 10.  I get up at 530 for work and DH gets up at 6 to work out.

My best friend grew up with a similar schedule as you. They've compromised on a 730-8 dinnertime[/quote]

If you would have to start a 6 pm dinner at 3:30– you are doing too much for weeknights.
I work and cook from scratch , but can throw a healthy meal together in an hour or less.

Learn hacks. Find quicker recipes (such as turkey burgers that contain chopped spinach). You can broil salmon in 15 minutes. Don’t make 3 separate courses. You can make pasta that includes the protein, and  veggies. Food prep on weekends. Cook a meal that feeds everyone for two nights.

I think kids should eat by 7, preferable earlier. Some schools feed them lunch at like 11:30 in the morning . Plus, you want them to get in a routine: homework, bath , reading before bed.

This is not some European soirée. I think you should start a new thread asking for quick weeknight dinner recipes. Good luck.
