[quote=Anonymous]So with a complete caveat that we only have one and will soon have two which I know will be wayyyy harder, there are a couple of go-tos we have that make dinner way easier. (And lots of good tips on here that I am filing away now that I know our schedule is about to become crazy again). Normally we do either a frozen pizza once a week or go out to eat, but that's challenging as I have gestational diabetes. Like many others we tend to cook a bit meal on Sunday that lasts for 3 dinners. Then we tend to cook twice more during the week (each meal lasts 2 nights), usually something very easy that one of us makes the night before once DS is in bed. It helps that we both cook.

We love the ease of chicken thighs made in the oven. Cheap, delicious, hard to mess up. We follow the time/some seasoning recommendations here and they are very good: https://thesaltymarshmallow.com/crispy-baked-chicken-thighs/

Another we do are just quick fry pork chops or lamb shoulder chops. Little bit of seasoning, throw them in a pan, boom done in 15 minutes.

For sides, we usually steam some vegetables or do a salad kit in a bag.

It certainly helps that one of us needs to be home by 5:30 to relieve our nanny, we've staggered our schedules in order to do so and luckily it hasn't been an issue. Whoever is home starts heating up dinner to get it on the table.[/quote]
