I don't want to sound unsympathetic, but rice takes 15-20 mins in the microwave (if done right it's perfectly fine) so it's just seconds of button pressing and then walk away to do whatever else you need to and I buy canned beans that are already cooked so all you need to do is reheat them.
The hardest part for some is learning not to hate eating leftovers. I never had this issue so it comes easier to me, but my easy weekly meal (it's just me so it's simpler) is canned vegetables, canned beans, and a chicken breast all the the slow cooker with some basic seasoning. I can add whatever I want afterwards to change the flavors so it's not always the "same." I really don't spend any time over an oven unless I want to.
All that said I imagine this gets 100000x harder when kids are involved, but luckily for me I'm pretty much the least desirable man on earth so I don't need to worry about procreation lol
15-20 minutes is a long time when you have a 30-minute gap between your two jobs.
I just do it once a week and make a bunch, but if you're working 2 jobs 7 days a week then yeah just about anything is too much :(
I've been there and it almost killed me. It wasn't money that got me (that much), but the lack of time and sleep. I'd live by vending machine junk and naps in the car between jobs.
