Some Assembly Required

Anyone that knows me knows that as a rule, I love to cook. I especially love to cook healthy meals for my family. A funny thing has happened lately. Life. Most of you also know that I work roughly 8-4:30 while Chris is 10-6:30. This means evenings are on me to get the boys picked up (one from Hamlin and one from Kendall), homework done, dinner on the table, and baths started. On good days, the boys and I would arrive home around 5:35 or 5:40. Add to the mix that Richie now has baseball practice that starts at 6pm in Hamlin (20 minutes away)....it's a sure recipe for dinners on the fly.

Until our life got this crazy, I could never understand why people stopped at drive thrus to feed their family. It's just NOT.REAL.FOOD!! I didn't get it. Now, before you think I've gone off the deep end, I haven't resorted to that, yet. Instead, I've had to plan WAY ahead to get a good meal in the boys. We've been having meals like rice and beans on the weekend, and beans, rice and cheese stuffed tortillas on the weeknight. We've also had quite a few salads and sandwiches. I never thought much about sandwiches for dinner. I'm changing my mind, QUICKLY!

So now for the fun part...what types of things can you recommend that  I can make ahead for dinner that can be heated in a flash or stored in my work fridge until I leave to pick up the boys?
