[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Could you have simple dinners ready to put in the oven or to eat when you come home? That way you can spend time with them instead of rushing to make dinner and they can eat earlier and you have more energy. [/quote]

What are some examples if simple but healthy oven dinners?[/quote]

Sheet pan!

I get the quarter sheet pans. Then roast whatever you want. A fave of ours: 1 pan per person -- fill up with cut up green beans, carrots, red peppers, red onion, slice lemons, and feta cheese in small blocks -- about an ounce to 2 ounces per person. Toss with olive and salt and pepper. (I add honey and rep pepper flakes too). Roast at 425 for about 20-25 min flipping when you need to.

For clean up: don't use parchment or foil. Roast directly on the pans. After dinner soak the pans, stacked alternately, in the sink -- just drizzle with detergent and add hot water. Later scrape off what you can and wash in dishwasher. They do not have to be perfect and I think work better as the get beaten up.[/quote]
