I think, at least at this point, I need to do more Sunday cooking, while my hands aren't overworked because of my job. I need to figure out what I can make and freeze, it's not easy in our house. At least my daughter watches me cooking, she'll be able to really help out in the next few years, right now she's still too young to do things like cook with oil or take things out of the oven.
Sigh...as you all know too well, this seriously sucks.

Oh my, I hear you about the cooking. I am home all day and I still dread it. After 30 years i feel burned out on cooking, but there are still four other people here who expect to eat several times a day. It does seem to be a choice between eating unhealthfully and exhausting ourselves, there are so few easy, healthy options. Trying to navigate a vegetarian menu, where effort, frequent shopping, and creativity have to make up for the easy "slab o'meat " that my guys prefer, makes it even harder. Almost everything vegetarian is better prepared on the spot, except for soups and stews. You probably need your weekends to rest as much as possible. Do pasta dishes work well for your family?
I think I hate food shopping even more than cooking. That, at least, I am able to push off on the guys if I am organized about it.
