Quick fix yet healthy recipes and tips for working Moms

Ladies,
I had a busy morning today and didn't find my usual hour to cook. As I ate lunch I remembered those busy days dropping kids, driving to work, putting in an entire day, getting back with kids and then beginning the evening rush of cooking/dishes etc. I sometimes ate just oatmeal at night being ultra tired to even find something to cook and eat. Over the next few years, I found ways to minimize my workload in the evening. I'm sure all of you have such handy tips. Lets share that here for the benefit to each other.

Some stuff I can think of -
1) when ever you find time, cook dals, cool and store them in ziploc freezer quart bags, in single use servings. I used to cook a batch OT tur dal( for those yellow dal only days) and one of mixed dals. Channa and rajma can be cooked and frozen too. Anytime you need a quick subzi, cook spinach/broccoli/squash/frozen veggies of any kind on a pot with Haldi/salt/chilli powder. As you coom the veggies, get the dal out of the freezer and thaw it in the microwave or under running water. I did under running water and added the dal to the veggies half thawed. It will cook in no time. I just season this and one subzi is ready. I also love unseasoned dals so I would eat it without tadka.
2) cook quinoa over the weekends. I make mine in the rice cooker(1:2). Wash it well before putting it in the cooker. This keeps well in the fridge for a week(I've kept it longer too). Quinoa can be eaten as is with subzis or make it into a salad - 1/3 cup cooked quinoa, some salad mixes, some boiled channa/rajma, some feta cheese, 1/2 tsp olive oil, 2-4tsp vinegar, pinch of Italian seasoning and some black pepper powder if required. This salad along with some fruits is a complete meal.
3) keep bags of spinach, broccoli slaw, stir fry veggies etc handy. In a rush, use a mix of these veggies, along with peppers/beans/peas etc to make a quick stir fry. Just add it to a pan(or microwave first) with very little water, salt and chilli/pepper powder and keep it covered for a few mins. It takes 5-10 mins to cook. If you over cook or use too much water it will become a mush so add about 1-2 tbsps of water. Once cooked top with 1/2 tsp olive oil and stir fry it for a minute or two. I also add garlic powder and onion flakes to this. You can add garam masala/ jeera powder/ Italian seasoning etc to this. I sometimes make it Chinese by adding soy sauce/chilli sauce with water. Frozen bagged stir fry veggies are ideal for these stir fry. Just don't add any water.
4) I used to make aata into roti dough and refrigerate. I would get the required quantity out and thaw it for 30-40 mins before using.
5) Make an easy minestrone. This sits in the fridge for a week. Good with salads. I cook whole masoor dal, tur dal, moong etc with 2-3 cups frozen mixed veggies, broccoli, celery, spinach, carrots etc in a cooker. You cooked add barley or other grains, I even add whole wheat elbow ronis to this while cooking. Add salt/Italian seasoning/ fresh herbs and cook in the pressure cooker for 2 -3 whistles. This is your base. If you like your soup without the veggies, blend it. I like to eat mine as minestrone itself. Before eating this can be seasoned with garlic/jeera etc roasted in olive oil. I eat mine without seasoning so I add garlic powder while cooking the soup. Can add croutons to this.

I'll add to this thread later. I'm hoping others will pitch in with their ideas as well.
