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 🤦‍♀️

I think lots of people are picturing older kids. 2y and baby can’t eat later, they go to bed.

I find it crazy that some people say they’ve never eaten later than their kids when their kids were babies.

Edited

We did always eat with thte kids, once they could sit up. Obviously a small baby doesn't eat solids anyway, but the baby was always in the room with us during mealtimes.

M&s do great kids meals that are additive free and microwavable in 2 mins.

@suki1964 You know you can roast in a slow cooker?

What? No!
This is the info I needed. Everything I had been doing in the slow cooker was stew/curry/chillli/ other sloppy textured thing. This has opened up a whole new world!

This is truly the only way to cook a roast! You will love it. Makes the meat so tender.

I'm Australian so not sure if you have fresh pasta, like ravioli, tortellini etc these are nice and quick too, just boil throw on pasta sauce.
