We are very boring when it comes to cooking, but what about chili or spaghetti? It's easy to make either of those with ground beef. I'm not above hamburger or chicken helper either, even though they're pretty processed. I like to make mexican-ish casseroles with whatever kind of meat and veggies are on hand (corn, peppers, onions, etc); just add black beans, enchilada sauce, tortillas, layer the ingredients and sprinkle cheese on top. Voila!

My go to is quiche. It is like scrambled egg pie. And it is easy to double so you can freeze one. Other wise a noodle, sauce and chicken is super easy. I will get a routissere chicken and have that with a vegtable. With the left overs taken off the chicken I will make chicken noodle soup (I use a soup starter bag with noodles, seasoning and vegtables-you just add water). Having deli meat and french bread is nice to make some good subs.

Do you like stirfry? I like to marinate lots of chicken at once, chop it at once, and freeze 3/4 of it - and then do the same with veggies. Then I have dinner for that night, and a few more, and just add fresh quinoa or bulgur (havent tried freezing those). I consider it healthy.

What time does DH get home? I'd thaw things out/marinate them ahead of time, and either just throw stuff in the oven to cook and pull together a salad, or hand him the baby so dinner can be made. If you only do it like, twice a week, you should be able to get enough leftovers out of it.

Or cook up a lot of chicken at once and portion it out. One night for chicken tacos, another to serve with pasta. Just keep it as simple as possible.

I'm of the opinion that beggars can't be choosers. What you make, he eats Or he can make himself dinner, lol.

I usually make pizza or calzones once a week. I love it because you can use up whatever is in your house for toppings. I buy premade pizza dough at the grocery store bakery.

I usually have meatballs leftover in my freezer from pasta night, you can use leftover chicken (bbq chicken pizza is yummy!), spinach,. tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, etc.

It just takes a couple of minutes to roll out the dough and pile the toppings on, and 15-20 minutes to bake.
