[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of these weekly menus sound lovely and delicious! Just curious, how many of the posters are SAHM vs. Full time working Moms? Can you indicate which you are when you post your menu? I would be interested in seeing what other Full time working moms are making so I can get some easy (I assume!) week-night recipe ideas. Thanks![/quote]

I posted about having Thomas Keller's roast chicken then pot pie, etc. I SAH and can prep during the youngest's nap time. However, DH travels a lot and when he's out of town, we do meals that take under 30 min to make. The gnocchi with tomato, butter, onion sauce is an example of something easy, though you'd have to make the sauce ahead of time as I think it needs 45 min to cook (though it is dead simple to make---throw butter, halved onion, can of tomatoes in a pot and let simmer). It freezes well so you could make this ahead of time. The gnocchi is store-made and cooks fast. The taco pizza is also super easy. I follow The Pioneer Woman's basic recipe and make my own crust, but you could use store-bought raw dough, make your own and freeze it, or even use Boboli as the base. Both of those dinners can be made with mostly pantry or staple items. When I worked full time with kids, my easiest meal was some variety of chicken sausage, a box of couscous, and a steamed veggie. The whole thing took about 5 min to prep and 10 to cook.[/quote]
