I need some idea please.....

Another great idea for a day when you are going to be away from home is to cook dinner in a crock pot, if you have one. I like to just cook a roast with carrots, celery, and potatoes in my crock pot. That way dinner cooks and you can time it so it will be ready when you get home. You have to be careful with the potatoes, though. You don't want to add them with everything else when you start the crock pot because the potatoes don't take as long to cook. I usually add them about 2 hours before it's supposed to be done. You can make changes so it's convenient for you.

I remember it well when both of my older kids were playing baseball and softball. It was a trying time and very difficult to get good healthy meals in, without hitting the drive thru. That is when I really made friends with my crock pot. Sloppy joes are always nice to keep warm in crock pot, and are even fast to make from scratch. My best advice is to brown up some hamburger meat, and cook up some chicken and shred it or pull it to make it into thin pieces on a day when you are not that busy. That way you can just toss in some extra ingredients and have a really quick meal. Like with ground beef, throw it in the pan with some sloppy jo mix and you are done, or toss in some taco seasining, and heat it up, throw on some shredded cheese and lettuce (which you can shredd ahead of time as well), and sour cream or what ever else your family likes and you can have a taco prepared in less than 10 minutes. Also if you use the soft shells you can wrap them in foil and take them with you. The foil should keep them warm and the shell soft for a while. You can also make quick chicken tacos as well, take the shredded chicken throw it in a man, add a jar of prepared salsa heat it up for a few mintues, and prepare like a regular taco. You could also toss shredded chicken into the pan when you make Ramen noodles, throw some peas or green beans in there as well to balance out the meal. Take the shredded and chicken and add some store bought BBQ sauce, throw them both in a pan heat through and serve it on hamburger buns for BBQ chicken sandwhiches. These can also be wrapped up and brought with you, just bring a lot of napkins and baby wipes along. This can be served with some apple slices, or whole apples to round it out. You could also try and create some new sandwhiches.

you can make some instant noodles. or if you can try some indian recipes, these are easy to make, heal;thy and not so costly. you can take rice, pulses and vegetables in small pieces and cook together with little oil and salt. also add turmeric.

I don't know how nutritious it is, but hot dogs in the microwave slapped in a bun with some canned chili sauce over the top is a really fast meal. Also look on the back of a can of enchilada sauce for a quick recipe for enchiladas using only soft taco shells, hamburger meat, sauce and cheese. You don't always have to make a "meal" when you have nutritious food that is easy to grab on the go like a piece of fruit, cut up veggies, yogurt, etc. When you do make something (chili for instance), just make it in large quantities and freeze it in single servings in zip-lock bags. Hope this helps.

If you don't already have one, get a crock pot or slow cooker. You can start it when you leave for work, and dinner will be ready when you get home. It's perfect for making soups and stews. Here is a recipe that I really like.... Crock pot Meatballs 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of celery soup 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed French onion soup 1/2 (16 ounce) container sour cream 3 pounds frozen Italian-style meatballs (you could also make and freeze your own, this is just to speed up cooking time) 1 (16 ounce) package uncooked egg noodles 1/4 cup butter DIRECTIONS In a large slow cooker, mix together the cream of celery soup, French onion soup, and sour cream. Stir in the meatballs. Cook on high heat for 2-3 hours. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain. In a large bowl, toss the pasta with butter. Serve meatballs and sauce over the cooked pasta.

A crock pot is very good to use. You can put something in it in the morning and let it cook all day. There are lots of recipes on here and all over the net. Be sure to spray with Pam, so you don't have to work hard at cleaning it. And, you can always have cereal, who says it is just for breakfast. Cereal is good to have when you are tired or in a hurry. It's healthy and the kids will probably love it. I've done that many times.

if you need instant food to cook you can find it in many grocery stores. what i did i have stocks of can goods and noodles at home, when i am on rush i cook this food but if i have enough time i am cooking the foods that can give me healthier like veges.

You can turn almost any meal into a microwave meal. If you have a "light" day, cook up a big meal or several (ok, a few) meals and package them into baggies for the freezer. Then, on baseball night take whatever you need out in the afternoon and it should be ready to just warm up in the microwave when you all get home. Easier on you, and the family gets fed a good home cooked meal at the same time. I often do this when my husband works so he has time to wind down when he gets home and he knows his dinner is already plated and in the microwave. It also saves me from having to eat dinner at 7:00 pm. Much too late for me to eat a big meal.

Most foods you can cook earlier in the day and just heat them up on the night. My mam used to cook a lot of food on the Sunday to feed us for the rest of the week.

I've had similar problems in the past. I actually coached a little league baseball team for 3 years, and trying to get dinner together without going through a drive-thru on the way how turned out to be a huge challenge. I had a couple of stand-by meals that I used during the week, or on days where I had back-to back practices or late games. On the nights that I had off, or on the rare Saturday or Sunday that you are not frying yourself sitting on the bleachers, make several pans of these: Lasagna Baked scalloped potatoes(you can add chunks of ham to make this an entree) any other kind of casseroles that your family eats I went out and bought about a thousand of those glad-ware containers and package them individually, but if your family eats together, just leave the casserole whole in the pan. I took out one of the (defrosted) casserole portions and put it in the microwave and plated it with veggies. I usually made: steamed broccoli with shredded cheddar on top or cheese sauce on top green beans(steamed) green bean casserole(made/frozen/and defrosted just like the entree) corn whatever other veggies are easy to cook and that your kids will eat Then add a side salad(from the bag) Eat! I should also add, look at recipes.com or foodnetwork.com for casseroles and side veggies that you can freeze and just microwave at the last minute to serve. There are tons of different options. For a change, I also like to serve breakfast casseroles as dinner too.

Well, something that is great to make a big batch of and freeze in bags for reheating is homemade spaghetti sauce. It is very inexpensive to make. You just use two large cans of tomato sauce, 2 medium-sized (i think 12 ounce) cans of tomato paste, sugar to taste (to cut the bitterness of the tomato paste), onion, garlic, a couple of bay leaves if you have them, some oregano, basil, and parsley and let it simmer on the stove for a while. It is really easy and a big pot will feed a lot of people. You could freeze a couple of bags to reheat. All you have to do is heat up the sauce and cook some noodles, which takes about 15 minutes or so.
