[quote=Anonymous]OP:  Don't worry too much about making sure you're eating a warm meal at night.  There are tons of cultures where this isn't even the way they eat in the evening--I'm from Northern Europe, and I can assure you that traditionally, most Scandinavian/German/Dutch households didn't serve a warm dinner. Lunch is warm, dinner and breakfast are cold.  So don't beat yourself up for potentially serving cold cuts/whole grain dark breads and a salad or cut up veggies for dinner.  I would just focus a bit on the quality of the meat/cheese/etc, and don't worry about trying to cook all of the time.  I also assume that your son is eating the hot lunch at school?  If not, then perhaps he should, freeing you up from having to cook every night?  This would also give you the advantage of eating in the car, and then you could spend the evening doing other things?  Or at least try this for a few nights a week.  Also echo PPs sentiment about some nutrioutious soups that you can make over the weekend to supplement.

You can also do this with roasts made during weekend, and slice for cold cuts/sandwiches during weeks.  Cut your stress where you can, your DS will not remember what you fed him nearly as much as he'll remember other things like that.  :)
