Your favorte quick/easy dinners for busy testing times?

Baked potatoes can be cooked in the microwave if stabbed with a fork and nuked for five minutes each (microwave separately, cook time gets weird when cooking multiples). They come out soft and ready to be topped with leftover broccoli or whatever is on-hand for loaded baked potatoes.

Homemade pizza is quick and easy if you buy unsliced pita bread, jarred pizza sauce, shredded cheese, and whatever toppings you like. Everyone gets their own to pick and choose toppings, and much cheaper than delivery. Meat and veggies should be prepared in advance. I sautee onions, mushrooms, and green peppers each weekend and keep a bunch in a tupperware to have through the week for quick Egg Beater omelettes so we just use some of that, and we use presliced pepperoni.
- Preheat oven to 350
- Smooth sauce on pita
- Add toppings and cheese (if you use pepperoni, put a little cheese under each slice or they tend to slide off)
- Sprinkle a bit of oregano
- Bake until cheese is melted (about 10 minutes)

Those are two of our favorite go-to quick work night meals, if we're not including spaghetti or take-out.
