Dinner Ideas when we have to eat in shifts?

Basically what the title says--there are some nights when btwn work and kids activities, we have to eat in shifts. I like to make quick, nutrient dense meals, and my family doesn't love stuff from the slow cooker in general. I've made stuff like a tuna/pasta salad, a frittata, and pasta previously. But looking for some new ideas! I'm KNOW I'm not the only one in this boat, and thought this might help others as well. TIA! (side note, need more flair options lol).
