I am sure that everyone has had these experiences. You work a bit late at work and head home just dragging from tiredness. Walking through the door instead of just being able to put your feet up, there are three hungry children; one needs help with homework and the other two need to be driven to activities (to be picked up later of course).

I'd immediately wonder why the SO was sitting waiting for someone else to fix the meal, if was so quick-and-easy.
With two competent teenangsters, mealtime is now easily divided up among the adults and kids. Everyone gets to prep and set the menu throughout the week. It's now difficult to get extra time in our kitchen!
Last night, Daughter-unit Beta cooked up a single-pan rice and chicken dish. 30 minutes start to finish.
Sunday evening, Spawn, a Decade old now, made quesadillas for everyone. Mine contained green onions and jalapeņos; which allowed me to remind her of the importance of _scrubbing_ her fingertips after cutting both. 20 minutes total time for that meal to be made.
Saturday, Daughter-unit Alpha made Chinese Chicken Salad. Abso-frikkin'-delicious! Again, 30 minutes start to finish.

Steak fajitas. Dinner's on the table in less than ten minutes.

Cereal. Or eggs & toast. Or weird stuff like coconut cream pie and a glass of milk. Or a tomato and cottage cheese on lettuce. Or a grilled cheese sandwich.
Tonight was one of those quickie meal nights. Besides it having been my bowling day, I had several errands to run. Dinner was a package of Romain lettuce, diced cucumber, tomato and scallion (green onion) along with two diced hardboiled eggs, 8 large cooked shrimp in large dice, some diced Colby-Jack cheese, a couple of slices of ham and a couple slices of smoked turkey lunch meat also diced. Mixed it all together in a big wooden salad bowl. Made a Russian dressing from mayo, ketchup and pickle relish with a dash of Worcestershire and a dash of granulated garlic. I am stuffed!
Sometimes I use blue cheese chunks or gorgonzola chunks instead of cutting up other cheeses. One can add olives, chick peas, radishes, or whatever to the salad.
