I have one suggestion here:  Buy a slow-cooker (CrockPot), if you don't
already have one.  Select a dish that requires many hours of cooking
(approximately the number of hours that you're at work).  Prepare the
night before when your energy level is high and store in the refrigerator
overnight.  Start the slow-cooking when you leave for work in the morning
and the dish will be ready to eat when you "survive the trip back from work".

PS.  More ideas on this topic can be gotten from net.cooks.
