Do you have a crock pot?

No, but my dad and sister both do that I can borrow anytime.

They are decently cheap. If you can get your hands on onem I recommend going to this site and putting together some of her crockpot meals. They feed 4-6 so you'll have plenty of leftovers to take for lunch, as well as being able to eat the next day if your schedule doesn't let you cook that night.

I use can chicken drained, black beans drained n rInsed, and a can of corn in reduced sodium chicken broth for soup. It's good with a corn tortilla and reduced fat cheese. Use taco seasoning and lean beef for taco soup. Get a George foreman and dinner will be fast and healthy. There's no such thing as a fast home made spaghetti sauce. -
I love my crock pot! I make soups, chili, curry and rice, I even made a whole chicken tonight and tomorrow I am making soup with the broth.
meatballs and what everside you want are pretty easy. get some ground turkey, chicken, beef... or any kind of ground meat you like. add some herbs and seasonings. and a binder (I use rolled oats) kneed it. roll them into balls, place them in a cake pan and cook at 375 for 30 mins.

I know there isn't a fast speghetti sauce, that's something I could do on a saturday and freeze. I just wasn't a simple basic recipe. One without mushrooms (we're all allergic) and something that I can change up the veggies in depending on who I'm making it for.

when I was a working single momma I got a crockpot w/ a timer. I would hit the cook on low for 8hrs button,and after 8hrs it automaticly went to warm for another hour or two. it was a life saver. I also did kinda batch cooking on the weekends. I say kinda because really it was just oh I'm making chili so instead of making the 1lb of meat or cutting up this 1 onion I'm going to brown 3lbs of meat and freeze 2 of them and cut 2 onions and freeze 1 of them. it was basicly doing all the time consuming things for future meals. on things like chili I would freeze half of what I actualy made too. I had a side by side fridge/freezer back then and was limited on space. and time. I worked full-time and had 2 under 3.

Crock pots are great for meals that don't require a lot of work...hugs and good luck! I also like Rachael Ray recipes...they are 30 minute meals!

This was our dinner tonight- it took 45 minutes tops and that was cooking time.
Chicken, apple, caramelized onion sandwiches and parsnip fries
Peel and slice parsnips, drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper- bake at 375 for 40 minutes
Sandwiches- I used ciabatta bread, mayo, sliced apple, sliced rotisserie chicken breast, swiss cheese- bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes.
We eat cleanly and most of our meals are fairly easy.. we had a vegetable stew the other day that was unbelievable!
