We love spaghetti and other pasta shapes. I make large quantites of meat
sauce and freeze in dinner quantites for two. I pick up a fresh loaf of
French or Italian bread on the way home from work and can have a fresh
spaghetti dinner on the table in less than a half hour.

We also like chuck or similar roast done in the crockpot. That's ready to
eat when we get home.

I sometimes make an oven pancake for dessert with a sprinkling of fresh
lemon juice and confectioner's sugar.

I love casseroles, but SO hates them. We have them rarely.

Preparing a meal from scratch after we get home is usually out of the
question, as we wouldn't be eating until after 9 pm.

Friday nights we eat late, as I make homemade pizza most Fridays.
