Make smaller casseroles instead of huge ones (like baked ziti and throw in some frozen spinach) or freeze half for another day. Have you tried Weelicious? She has great recipes that my kids love and that are real food and flavorful enough that you will enjoy them as well. Do as much prep the night before after the kid goes to bed as you can. The crockpot is your best friend. Cheap cuts of meat come out great in there and then you can whip up some sides when you get home. Also, meatballs. I do them a million ways. Swedish meatballs with egg noodles, meatballs in sweet and sour sauce with rice and stir fry veggies, meatballs with spaghetti. etc You can always add spinach to the meatballs for extra veggies. And have the kid help you in the kitchen. They tend to eat better when they are a part of the process.
