salmon and white rice,
salmon fillet.... mix some butter lemon juice and soy sauce put onto the salmon....... salmon is in tinfoil, put into oven on 350 degrees, for 30 minutes or until it flakes. rice takes 4 minutes in microwave, then top the rice with the salmon.
or anything on the grill, ribs marinate overnight and slap onto the grill.
make a large casserole. it generally cooks in the oven which gives you enough time to do other things.
It sounds like you two need to freeze some meals ahead and make life easier.

Baked Tilapia, if u have a george farmer grill, its better, steam broccoli and roasted red potatoes or garlic mashed potatoes, u can't go wrong with that, and some sparkling cider, a great meal
Make some of the food ahead of time. For example cut up celery, onions and other fruits and vegetable ahead of time - better yet, use a blender to puree or chop them, just get them small enough to fit. (But only make and chop as much as you will use, otherwise they'll spoil if left out too long.) Make sauces and broths before hand. Find different ways to cook things. For example: instead of baking or boiling potatoes, look online for how to cook them on the stove top for much longer. Find ways to do as much as you can before hand. I hope this gets you thinking... Raw food is also good for part of the meal (apples and caramel - ready to eat food, no heating required)
gourmet omeletts are always quick and easy. I call them gourmet to trick the kids into eating my wierd concoctions. You can put all kinds of meat, cheese and veggies in an omelette, use one whole egg and 2 white (or more) and the omelette is lowfat and super healthy, full of protein. We have them with whole wheat toast and juice for a well rounded, very quick meal.
