dinner set tupperware image

I work all day as Cashier in the commissary on the base where my husband is stationed so I am standing for hours. When I make it home I do not feel like standing in front of the stove. Does any one have any ideas for weekly menus that are really quick and simple. I am thinking 5 ingredients tops and something that can be whipped up in like 30 minutes. Keep in mind that my husband is a little picky and does not eat any kind of fish. He also will not eat bone in chicken.
I also do not really want something from a box.
Answer
Invest in a slow-cooker, fairly small. Maybe 3 or 3.5 quarts at most. You can put plenty of meals into a slow cooker in the morning (stew, boneless chicken dishes, chili, meatballs, pork or beef roasts, bbq pork, etc) and set a timer, and the food will be warm and ready for you when you get home. A lot of slow cooker recipes are very simple, and do not require a lot of ingredients. Also, you can freeze large batches of chili, lasagna, etc, and defrost portions in the fridge the night before and reheat in an oven or microwave in order to have dinner ready within minutes after getting home. Spend your Sunday cooking several meals (boil lots of chicken and then shred it to use in chicken salad or chicken enchiladas or quesadillas or burritos or casseroles that you can put together the night before you plan to bake them). Casseroles are easy to put together and then throw in the oven and forget about for a half hour. Use frozen or canned veggies (I prefer frozen) to complement such meals, or prepackaged salads (or use salads/raw veggies that you prepared yourself ahead of time and stored in tupperware). Invest in a rice pot in order to make easy to prepare carb side dishes (you literally pour in one part rice and one part water, turn the thing on and it is done within twenty minutes..and stays warm while you wait) or use Stove Top and other prepackaged carb sides (mashed potatoes or noodles). Or just heat up a loaf of frozen garlic bread. Search on google for easy slow cooker recipes and casserole recipes.
