Have you ever looked into meal prep/assembly services? I used to make a 2 hour drive once a month to a place in Tampa where I would assemble meals that were thrown in our freezer when we got home. It was a fun Mommy's night out, and it provided us with a bunch of meals that were, for the most part, ready to throw in the oven at any time.

There's a billion different franchises out there to suit just about every taste (Super Suppers, Dream Dinners - try googling "meal prep".) It was a great way to feed our family a healthy balanced meal on nights when we had very little prep time and they even suggested what to serve it with - sides AND wine!
