Weeknight dinners that get cooked
A short list, one pan, and a rotation of twelve so 6 p.m. is not a debate.
The weeknight constraint is time and decision fatigue. The fix is a list you already trust.

The shape of the meal
Thirty minutes or less, or a pot you started earlier and ignored. One pan. A protein you have cooked before. Thirty-minute dinners and one-pan chicken are the templates.
The rotation
Write twelve dinners. Four fast, four that reheat, four that freeze. The page a twelve-dinner rotation walks through it. Put the winners on the printable rotation.
Leftovers
Pack lunch before you eat dinner. Future-you is a worse negotiator. Leftovers into lunch is a one-step habit.
Keep two freezer meals as the emergency exit. The freezer guide is the other half of a weeknight system.
