Having a husband that knew how to boil water without burning it would be a big help :P

Honestly I have a "set menu" for the week of stuff that doesn't take more than 20 minutes to prepare. On the weekends I prepare anything that takes awhile, like soups, curries, sauces, baby food, etc and freeze it for the week.

Hubby is in charge of taking what he wants for dinner out of the freezer every morning.
