To make frozen pizza every night?

Yes, I think that’s an obvious yet. But between cooking healthy meals and snacks for toddler and freshly weaning baby I’m spent at the end of the day and running out of ideas and energy for adult dinners.
Dinners have to be separate during the week as kids eat about 4:30/5pm but DH doesn’t get in from work until 7:30.

What are your go to 1 step more than shoving a pizza in but incredibly low effort dinners?
Im struggling to have the time to plan out meals, do them on the food shop and then cook the meals in the evening at the minute due to sheer exhaustion of waking up a lot at night and the mental exhaustion of a whingey baby and toddler.

I’ll probably start this and not be able to read it for ages due to said high maintenance baby 🤦‍♀️

Several tins of mixed chilli-spiced beans + tin tomatoes + some frozen grilled veg., make a lovely chilli or topping for jacket potatoes. Serve with grated cheese. Very quick!

Can’t you cook up a main dinner early which the toddler eats early and you and DH then eat later? Or is the little one eating different things to you?

It only takes 10 minutes to boil some spaghetti up and while you're doing that warm some sauce up and bung it on, maybe chop some chorizo and stick that in too.

Or I've just discovered only takes about 10 minutes to make a chickpea salad and while I'm doing that I can cook a chicken breast in the air fryer to go with it.

Just Google quick easy meals.
