I don't know about you, but I find it super easy just to fix a meal in the crock pot while Kennedy is taking her nap then it's ready when Wystan gets home!  If you work, I used to prepare the night before then put in the crock-pot before leaving for work so it would be ready when we got home that evening to enjoy!
