Snipped: I have to figure out a strategy to get dinner on the table quick!
Try roasting in a slow cooker. Pork, beef, and chicken are yummy this way, not to mention it's quick and easy to throw everything in and go to work. (Don't forget to turn it on...I learned that lesson the hard way). When you get home, you can fix a starch, veggie, salad, bread, etc. for a fantastic feast. Of course that's easy for me to say right?!? I wasn't just gone all day long at work. Chili and soups are good prepared in the slow cooker as well. I hope this helps a bit and hope you get your stamina up real soon!
I'm not quite the gourmet I wish I were, but these are family tested and approved (they'll eat anything when they're hungry...ha!)
Chicken:
Place washed poultry pieces in slow cooker; cover with your favorite sauce (bottled BBQ is easiest) and cook on low for 8-10 hours.
Beef Pot Roast (ancient recipe from BHG):
1 2-1/2 to 3 lb beef chuck pot roast
2 tablespoons cooking oil
3/4 cup water, dry wine, or tomato juice
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (can use A-1 sauce)
1 teaspoon instant beef bouillon granules (can use beef broth and omit water)
1 teaspoon dried basil, crushed (can use italian seasoning or whatever herb you prefer)
2 medium potatoes
8 small carrots or parsnips (can use pre-cut and washed to save time)
2 small onions, cut into wedges
2 stalks celery, cut into bite-size pieces
1/4 cup all purpose flour
In a Dutch oven brown roast on all sides in hot oil. Thinly slice vegetables and place in the bottom of a 3 1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker. Place roast on top of vegetables. Combine water, Worcestershire sauce, bouillon granules, and basil. Pour over meat and vegetables. Cover; cook on low-heat setting for 10-12 hours. Remove meat and vegetables and make gravy.
For gravy, measure juices (skim fat if necessary) and add water if necessary to make 1 1/2 cups. Combine flour and 1/2 cup cold water. Stir into juices. Place in pan and cook on the stovetop until thick and bubbly. Season with salt & pepper to taste.
