Due to my kids' after school sports, on at least three nights per week we do not get home until either 7:45 or 8:45. They can't wait that late to eat dinner. As a result, it seems like we are always eating out fast food (unhealthy and expensive), or at Whole Foods (somewhat healthier, but even more expensive).
Any ideas for some sort of "dinner" that I could bring along? I've really been striking out on this because a) it also needs to be eaten on the run or in the car, so it can't be too complicated; b) I don't plan ahead enough and by the time I'm getting ready to leave I don't have time to make and pack up a dinner -- maybe something that could be made on the weekend with minimum "day of use" prep time? c) the two of them often don't like the same things.
This is one of my biggest discretionary spending items that I have not been successful in curtailing, so any suggestions would be welcome. Trying to have a new start on this with the New Year. I do have these short wide-mouth thermoses that you can eat out of, so maybe something that could go in there, like chili, or some sort of pasta/meat combo? They like burritos but very hard to keep warm for hours (I have to leave my house at 3:30).
