Yes i must admit its the hardest task to do. I work fulltime so by the time i get home Im hungry and so is DS. DH doesnt get home to after 6pm so its better if i try and start something, but half the time DS is tired and cranky he is hanging from my ankles crying!

I love the slow cooker idea, microwaves are great for vegies too or things that go in the oven.. you can simply walk away and bath the kids or whatever.. I guess its just planning simple easy healthy things until they are old enough to entertain themselffs!
