You have to frontload the prepwork (and this also means you have to select a menu that works for frontloaded prep). Bonus points if prep can be used for more than one dish (hence all my different pilafs).
Spoken like a man who's never cooked a decent meal in his life. It takes next to no prepping, if you already know what you're doing. Ten minutest at the most. Then it's off to the oven or the pot with you doing nothing else than waiting it out.
I do all of the weeks ten minutes on sunday afternoon, is all - a solid hour of slicing and dicing and bullshitting /w the wife while we drink - usually right after I get home from grocery shopping. I don't watch the pot, the watched pot never boils.
I;m also a big pyrex casserole guy..so sometimes I'll cook a few meals on sunday, freeze them in the pan...then lift them out and bag them for the freezer in-shape so that I can, point of fact..enjoy both the flavor and nutrition of a home cooked meal with the convenience of a microwave dinner. Pop it back into the pan, heat it up...voila. Poo-poo it all you like, my shits off the chain. You can get better chinese and laosian cuisine at my house than any resterant in this county, my curry will make you change your address to the bathroom (lol), and my falafel..and my hummus, and my tabouli are all homemade in batches of a gallon.
Don't even get me started on pregrilling steaks for later steaming...... or filleting some panfish right next to the outdoor deep fryer...with corn grit fritters I'd made on sunday and froze for that occasion when I actually managed to catch a fish. The beans and greens I just pick from my patch.

True southern comfort right thur motherfucker! Everybody eats well, all the time, and my kids are built like a brick fucking shithouse. They might as well just give my daughter a scholarship and a basketball, and my sons about the size of a 5th grade peewee linebacker...in kindergarten. My other daughter is already bigger than her grandmother in the third grade....and woe betide the silly son of a bitch that stands between the soccer ball she wants to kick and the goal it's going to heat it's way through. So solid........ This is, ofc, all my doing.
