[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 262236, member: 3907"] Congratulations GG! I agree with everything Fran suggested about delegating and being specific about chores that need to get done. As for the cooking, I do a lot of prep on the weekends. I chop lettuce and vegetables, and put them in little plastic containers in the fridge. Instant salad, whenever one is needed. And the chopped vegetables can also go into stir fry dishes, be eaten raw with dip, or thrown into a soup or stew. I LOVE my crock pot. Toss in the ingredients first thing, before I leave for the office. Hot meal ready to go when I walk in the door after work. husband loves to barbecue, so I enlist him on the weekends to barbecue bulk packages of meat and chicken. Then they're ready to go for salads, soups, stews etc. Or in Little easy child's case, he's happy to just grab a chicken breast out of the fridge and eat it cold. It's nutritious, so I don't really mind. Making giant batches and freezing them. I will make a huge pot ful of sauce, stew, soup or something, and then put into single-serve plastic containers. Then put some in the fridge, some in the freezer. Some go with me to work for lunch, some are reheated for dinner, some stay in the freezer for when we need them. And then, there's my last resort. Take-out. The few places from which I order do online requests. At the end of the work day, I enter the order on the computer, queue up the delivery time to coincide with when I'm getting home. Don't do this too often because it's expensive, but sometimes... That's all I can think of for now. [/QUOTE]
