I cook most of my meals from scratch. Not like to the point where I'm cooking every little things from flour and eggs, I do buy like boxed pastas, seasoning mixes, marinades, sauces, etc and put it to together however it needs to be. To save 19 trips to the grocery store every week, I always to plan out what I'm going to make everyday for the week with a couple extra meal plans in case I decide I don't want to make that particular thing. I then make a list of everything I need to make these things and take out whatever I already have. That saves a lot of time. My hubby and I like a lot of pasta and meat recipes and I get taste of home magazines in the mail every month with lots of good, simple recipes that don't take a lot of time. I spend maybe about an hour cooking every night.
