A ton of you share a person of my major struggles as a dwelling cook: planning a single meal that can accommodate a assortment of schedules. Regardless of whether you have very little kinds who want to consume at 5:00 p.m., a spouse who will work late, or numerous athletics and functions to contend with in the evening, numerous of us uncover that we’re serving dinner in phases more than the class of the working day. By 9:00 p.m. it can come to feel like you’re a shorter-purchase cook at the area diner. Not great!

When I originally created this dinner, I assumed that we would all be having jointly as a relatives. The boys experienced a snack following school to tide them more than, and about the time that I was draining the pasta and pulling the Chicken Parmesan out of the oven, I acquired a textual content from Keith. He was trapped on a meeting simply call at the workplace and would not be dwelling right up until following 8 p.m. (when the young ones have been presently in mattress). Sad to say, this is not an abnormal incidence.

When I extremely worth the system of coming jointly for a relatives meal at the end of the working day, the reality is that at the very least 3 or 4 nights per week I’m feeding everybody in shifts. I know that I’m not by yourself!

Due to the fact I didn’t want to boil yet another batch of pasta for Keith’s separate meal, I resolved to provide his Chicken Parmesan on a sandwich roll. I layered the pan sauce, the chicken, and some more mozzarella on a crusty hoagie roll, popped it in the toaster oven for a couple of minutes at 350 degrees, and he came dwelling to a delicious, very hot, Chicken Parmesan Sub. I was pleasantly stunned by how perfectly the chicken reheated for Keith, earning it a cafe-quality Round two Dinner that required almost no additional effort and hard work on my portion. That’s what I simply call a weeknight meal that we can all agree on!
