Need help!! Challenging brief!

[BertieBeatle]

Hi all,

So before we had a baby my dh used to do all the cooking as he really enjoyed it and he is an amazing cook.
Since having our ds who is now 10 weeks old my dh has become quite depressed and isn't coping well with going to work and our very challenging baby who just cries from 7 till 11 every night. Im actually really worried about dh who is suffering recurrent migraines and just doesnt seem himself at all. I therefore need to start doing the cooking before he gets home as I think that will take the pressure off him so he can relax when he gets in. He hasn't asked me to do this I just want to help and get my dh back!
The problem is I CAN'T COOK. I met dh at uni and have never learnt. He's always been content cooking whereas I do most of the cleaning. I need quick easy meals that are healthy but also that are vegetarian (we are both veggie) and gluten free as dh is allergic. Ds is challenging and needs a lot of attention so I don't have time to learn to be a good cook or to follow complex recipes, even chopping lots of veg would be difficult so any shortcut suggestions like buying pre chopped stuff would be useful. I don't do the food shop so all of this is alien to me!
If you can suggest some easy healthy recipes and how to cook them it would be really appreciated. Please don't worry about patronising me, I literally can't cook anything except beans on toast and pasta with sauce from a jar!

Thanks all!!

There ia a brilliant tagine dish (Google mumsnet tagine recipe) that is super easy and quick to make. I serve it with couscous and flat bread. Veggie curries are also super easy to make and you could do a big batch and freeze into portions. We also have brown wraps with sweet potato falafel (in the freezer section of Tesco) with salad, tzaziki and halloumi.

Not food related but DD was similarly challenging with colic and we found a baby swing an absolute godsend, so much better than a bouncy chair - it seemed to soothe her nicely and gave us a breather to get something done.

Back on topic, do you have a slow cooker? You could put together a veggie chilli or dahl earlier in the day if baby is more settled - just put some jacket potatoes in the oven or do some microwave rice.

Hope things start to improve, a new baby is a big life change.
