I have always struggled with Fridays. I work and my husband doesn't. So he is sweet and likes to cook dinner for me. The only problem is its like hamburger helper or burgers.

I am looking for some easy ideas for him to cook or something I can prepare Thursday since I don't work and he could heat it up.

Any ideas?

    What about making something in a crock pot? Then all he would have to do is keep an eye on it and stir it once in a while.

    I have 2 teen kids to feed as well. I do tacos, buffet style. We did chili last night. Baked potatoes are also a hit and easy to make. We, as a family, have a wide variety of tastes so we (I) like to cook things that people assemble from various ingredients. THAT being said I also do brisket, paninis, and other 'main' course dinners.

    Get the Taste of Home Diet Comfort Food Cookbook. Eating from that for each dinner (minus weekends) helped me lose around 90lbs in a year. Good food, low cal.

    Put fish or chicken breasts in a parchment or foil pouch with some fresh herbs and lemon slices, put them on a baking tray and pop them in the oven.

    Talent is his only restriction. Outside of that send him to Youtube and wish him the best of luck.

    This is what I was going to suggest. I LOVE putting something in the crockpot in the morning and opening the door at the end of the work day greeted with the smell of supper already done!! :love:

    what about making something ahead of time (I food prep on Sunday) and freeze it - then all he has to do is take it out and bake it
    OR yes he can read a recipe and make it from there?

    Have him cook with you from now on during the week. Thats what I started doing with my husband. He's now cooking at home. Tonight, we're having baked chicken, mashed potatoes and his signature glazed carrots haha He's been making supper more and more, and it's great!! He likes to make spaghetti and meatballs. Most of the time, he'll either call or text for help, and I have no problem with that!
