I work 3 days a week, and ds1 has swimming another night, which means that 4 nights a week we need to have tea cooked and on the table ideally within 20 minutes of walking through the door (to avoid overtired, not wanting to eat children).

ATM I use my slow cooker to batch cook and freeze, so we have casseroles, bolognese, chilli and curry a lot, but I'd love some new ideas for quick to cook teas. Preparation in advance (chopping etc) is no problem to speed things along at the critical time!

My ds's are 4 and 2 and will give most things a try.

Thanks in advance for any ideas you can pass on.

"I use my slow cooker to batch cook and freeze"
And you wish you were MORE organised??

Pasta pesto with chopped spinach is a regular in my house.
Can add bacon bits for adults
Omelettes?
Home made goujons (fried if need to be quick)
erm (I only have 1 ds and he hardly eats anything so I'm not much help here really )

Have you tried the recipe section?
You can search by things you can freeze and prepare in advance?
