Not sure what kind of food you like but here's what I do to minimize time in the kitchen.
Keep your knives sharp. It takes less time to prep food when the knife is sharp.
Buy pre-cut veggies if possible. They are more expensive but it's faster to use them. When preparing rice, potatos, or noodles, cook a double batch, then use the extra the following nite. All you have to is heat it up in the microwave. Also get a rice steamer. You can start the rice and walk away. 30 minutes later it's ready. It's a great way to cook rice and not have to tend to it.
Here's a quick tasty recipe for that we all like
Cube up one chicken breast , or 4 ounces of beef or pork per person.
1-2 cans of chopped tomatoes in Italilan herbs, Contadina brand is my fav.
Sautee the meat until it's about half cooked, add the tomates and cook for 5-10 minutes more. Serve over rice or noodles.
Another quicky
Slice potatos into 1/4 inch pieces. Spread out over a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Brush with oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, Italian bread crumbs and parmesan cheese. Broil for 15 minutes or until browned and tender.
Hope this helps
In case you haven't noticed, cooking is my absolute favorite thing to do. I'm enjoying this thread quite a bit.
