Choose recipes for dinner that have little preparation time and cook unattended in the oven. This way you can help with homework while dinner is cooking!

When a recipe calls for cut-up or shredded cooked chicken, simply take home a rotisserie chicken from your local grocery store and cut-up or shred the meat. Save wings and legs for lunch boxes the next day.

When you know a busy week awaits you, double up on the meal you are making and serve the extras the next night.
