Maybe you could meal plan together. Everyone gets their choice on a rota. Allow some tweaks if someone really doesn't like something..also help with the cooking. X
Get a slow cooker!!! Chuck it all in, in the morning and it's ready to eat by the time they come out of school. It does all the hard work for you! Can put anything in a slow cooker, I batch cook with mine, put the leftovers in the fridge and that's tomorrows dinner sorted!

My fave.:
Chicken legs/drumsticks covered in paprika marjoram, salt pepper, rosemary, cut carrots and whatever veg your kids like, as well as onion and few cloves of garlic, put in a heat proof dish- veg on The bottom, chicken on top, half a glass of water. Deizzle with oil, chuk in The oven 180*c for an hour and 20 min.

Slow cooker it will save you so much time! N once it’s all in and cooked it’s done
@squiggley thankyou, I’m glad I’m not the only one, it’s harder aswell being on your own as at least if you had a partner it would be shared cooking or worth it. Just for me I don’t bother, tonight I’ve had a kit Kat haha x

Mate just make it easy, pasta , nuggets, party tea, chuck in some veggies where you can.. toasties, sandwiches, wraps and crisps. Who cares as long as they eat, honestly the more you worry the harder it gets. I don't mind cooking most of the time but some times it destroys my soul so I just don't overthink it xx
What do they eat at school that they like? If anything like my kids you can’t go wrong with pasta, pizza, pies, curry, quiche, nuggets all really easy to do. If you have space in the freezer, batch cook a huge bolognese sauce, literally 5 cheap ingredients (pork mince is way cheaper than beef and less fat, chopped tomatoes, onions, garlic, herbs) and then freeze portions you can quickly defrost and add to cheap pasta.
