    Do you want your kids to watch you drink a shake instead of a meal and think that's normal?



    Of course not, silly! That's the whole point of my post. :) To clarify, I was going to take the shakes to work for lunch. I certainly would not use those in front of the kids.

    I don't take a full day or block of time to batch cook, but when I do make freezer friendly dishes like chili, curry, or casseroles, I make enough for 5 meals and freeze the other 4 (in 1-meal size bags or containers). If I do this once or twice a week, I end up with a decent selection of pre-cooked meals in the freezer that I just need to reheat.

    My super lazy salad consists of bagged salad greens and Trader Joe healthy 8 diced raw veggies. If I use light dressing, I'll throw in some nuts or avocado to add some fat. Takes less than 2 minutes. If you pre-cooked some lean proteins, you could throw that on top in 15-20 additional seconds and have a full meal.

    Here are some ideas:

    Croc Pot
    Betty Crocker one pot/pan recipes (google them)
    Bisquick recipes (google them)
    When all else fails.....sandwiches with a side of veggies and/or fruit.

    I feel your pain because I'm studying for my engineering board exam which is going to be brutal and I try to do it all by myself but realized I can't. My hubby helps but sometimes doesn't realize I need help until I ask and when I do, he always comes to the rescue. :smile:

    Try to relax and whatever doesn't get done can wait until another day.
