AFI82 - I mean both. Prep time and cook time, he gets home with the kids (2 1/2 and 10 months) at about 5:30 and has about 30-45 minutes to make dinner & feed them, not including the time it takes to get them settled, etc.
You guys have great ideas, keep 'em coming! I'm so glad I found this forum, I've got tons of ideas written down. I've looked into doing prepare-ahead meals before but most of them are heavy casseroles and crockpot meals and neither of those really worked for us... this is the first place I ever asked and got some good answers that don't involve casseroles or crockpots
