home cookin'

I love to home cook. A few things:

1) Find a day when you can spend about an hour making a huge batch of a dry rub of some sort. Dry rubs tend to last for a very long time, and once its made, takes very little time to apply.
2) Take said dry rub and add it to a piece of meat (steak, chicken, etc) in the morning before work. Place both dry rub and meat in ziploc bag and place in fridge. Takes less than 2 minutes. You don't need to use very much of your huge batch.
3) Once home in the evening, cook with said meat. Will add flavor without any real added time.

There are plenty of simple dishes that are filling and delicious that can help on your path to cooking from home vs going out. Pasta and rice are two of the simplest things to cook and are used in a lot of recipes. Also crockpots make great "I don't have a lot of time for a meal but I want something hearty" cookware. Place veggies and meat in crock pot, turn on low for 10 hours, come home, eat.

I tend to cook pretty hefty meals in my crock pot. I'll do a slab of meat, like pot roast or pork shoulder, with veggies and have tons of leftovers for the rest of the week. I also like to toss in chili or soup makings. Either way, its easy to cook with, makes delicious food (meat just falls apart when cooked in a crock pot, so juicy oh man), and will provide plenty of leftovers to bring to work for lunch.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
