[quote=Anonymous]We just came out of a temporary schedule like this and it was the pits - you are a superhero for doing it!  We were really boring and ate the same things pretty much, but it really worked and was pretty healthy:

refried bean burritos (microwaved with cheese and salsa), served with frozen corn heated up with a can of rotel - it takes about 12 minutes for a family of 4

veggie burgers with bagged salad - we do two burgers with cheese. Salad is just the lettuce and dressing.  Sometimes we do oven fries but usually we didn't have the 20 minutes.  This takes about 15 minutes for a family of 4.

Buy a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store over the weekend and then during the week, eat leftover chicken, microwaved frozen rice, and microwaved broccoli

"greek" dinner, which is pita, tabbouleh, hummus, olives, cherry tomatoes, and bagged salad - make your own pita pocket.  All of that is just stuff we bought at the store.  We cut the tomatoes in half and microwave the pitas for a second, which the the only thing that takes time. The rest you pull out and plate.

Roast beef and cheddar wraps, serve with grapes and baby carrots (and chips if you'd like).

We make omelets for dinner sometimes, but that takes a bit more time. But if it is a family of two father than 4, I bet you could do it much much faster - it's 8 minutes per omelet.  Add thawed frozen spinach and pre-shredded cheese. Sometimes we add sundried tomatoes (in the oil).  You can thaw the spinach in the time it takes to heat the butter - it adds about 1 minute (put 2-3 paper towels under the spinach to pre-drain it).  Serve with toast and grapes.

All of my times include pulling everything out, putting it back, getting plates and drinks ready... the whole shabang.[/quote]
