[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2092161, member: 345386"] If you work evenings, I'll assume (apologies, if misguidedly so) you start a bit later in the day? Could you start the slow cooker before you leave? You'd then be greeted by delicious smells walking through the door, beckoning you to eat. If I have a bonkers busy week on, I'll sometime call on the freezer to keep me going, so in your shoes, I'd get something out of the freezer in the morning to reheat when I got home. The microwave or quick oven run, whilst I changed, unpacked my bag, or did some other chore could work well. If I'm in batch cooking mode, chopping onions, say, I'll chop a couple extra and lob the excess in the freezer for another time. You can fry or even slow cook onions from frozen. When grating cheese, for cheesy toppings on things, I grate whole 500gr blocks and freeze it in 100gr cheap, pound shop, ziplock bags. It's a great (as opposed to grate) timesaver, as shop bought ready grated cheese has flouror potato starch added to keep the cheese separate. There are loads of things we can do to save time and make life easy, even if some of them take a little time to get started. It's worth it. [/QUOTE]
