Good ideas. Here are more: Sit down as much as you can. Stagger big jobs, don't do more than one a day. Get help from your husband, teens/pre-teens, or pay someone. Cook only what you need, and make fewer dishes.

Yes! Hannah, that was great and here are some easy food ideas

Here are some easy crowd pleasers:

shepherds pie
tuna melt
matza pitza
chicken roast with lots of cut veggies - whatever you've got on hand (yum!)
meatballs in sweet & sour sauce (pasta sauce with apricot jam, onions)
shnitzel meat marinated in lite oil. 1tsp each: garlic, paprika, tumeric, onion, lite salt and pepper- then bbq or bake.

Lots of salads- or just cut veggies... whatever the little ones will eat.

Okay- now I'm hungry!

for those of us who eat kitniot- rice
1. pudding made parve with coconut milk.
