It's not always lazy. Sometimes it's about priorities. You have a lot going on with a big family, so if you are needing to be involved there-it's just a matter of what works.
Today I was trying to get things ready for the next trip out of town. Did the oil change on the car, making the next weeks menu for the meal prep company, etc. Turned on the smoker and put a pan with beer brat fixins, and left to go walk the dog. Came back and pulled the brats onto the grates, cranked the temps, and then topped off washer and exhaust fluids, and dinner was ready! While I certainly appreciate food that takes more attention to detail and process-there are obviously times where 'crank and cook' is exactly what fits the bill.
