Hi everyone,
I am going back to work two full days per week which means that I will not get home until approx 6pm. Dinner in this house has been between 6.15 - 6.30pm while I've been off work, and I would prefer to keep dinner time to the same time as much as possible. This will be happening on two consecutive nights - so I need hints and tips on how to manage this most efficiently. I have thought of making bolognaise sauce on the day before I start work so all I have to do is nuke the sauce and cook some pasta when I get home (straight away!) but what else can I do? We don't want to eat the same thing week in week out or two nights in a row, iygwim? Thanks |

A quick meal we have is vegie burgers (bought ones from the supermarket fridge). I put them in the oven to heat (no turning required).
While they are in the oven I get rolls out and spread with avocado, chutney, salad mix, tomatoes, cheese, and anything else like hummus, gherkins etc. By the time I've prepared the rolls and set the table, the vegie burgers are warm and ready to be added to the rolls. |
