You have some really great tips on how to make it through and still be able to eat and have a meal. That's not always easy when your kitchen is under construction.

The outdoor grill would be a better option in the summer, but I give you credit for giving it a try! Slow cooker, George Foreman grill, electric skillet… all great options.

I was going to suggest one of my kids' favorite meals -- the make-your-own salad night! Chop up all your favorite raw veggies, add a protein or two (cheese, pre-cooked chicken), find their favorite dressings, and put everything out in bowls on the table. The kids take ownership of their (very healthy) meal! Good luck with the renovation! Incredible how much they charge for installation . . . Definitely good suggestions above.

Since you will be so busy working on renovating, you should cook larger amounts at once and freeze for a quick dinner on the very busy days. I enjoy my slow cooker, but I totally love my pressure cooker, but you need a stove for that, so maybe after your project is done. I have some recipes posted for slow and pressure cookers on my website: www.suburbangrandma.com , of you would like to try these. Good luck with you project. I love your site, and your ideas.
