I like cooking, but I rarely have time so I basically settled on a little system that works for me.
I have a large chest freezer, and it's split roughly 50/50 between assorted bags of premixed snap-frozen vegetables, and freezer bags of 2-servings of meat (for me + wife). The meat bags might be 2 steaks, or 2 fillets of marinated chicken, or 2 fillets of fish.
Each morning before work, grab a random (literally, reach in and grab without really looking) meat bag, stick it on sink to thaw throughout day. In evening, pan-fry or oven-bake the meat, and microwave 2 cups of frozen vegetables for each person.
At most we have 1 frying pan or baking tray to clean, and the 2 plates we microwaved the veges on then ate off.
The only real preperation needed is on shopping day to split the meats into separate bags for the freezer, and because of the chest freezer we only shop once a month or so.
