If I were you, I would probably prepare some stuff that can be frozen and reheated later like soups, lasagna etc. That way when you get home from work you don't have to slave over a oven for an hour just to eat. Top Ramen is also good heh.

Yep, working in a kitchen means I eat whatever's on the menu for most of the day. It also means that after 8 hours of cooking, the last thing I usually want to do is come home and cook.
When I cook at home, I try to make enough food so that I have ample leftovers, enough to feed me 2 or 3 more times. (Edit - Curries make awesome leftovers, they usually taste much better after they've had a day or two in the fridge)
I don't plan my meals very far in advance, I go grocery shopping 2-3 times per week, buying 2 or 3 days worth of food at a time. Sometimes I know what I want in advance, other times I just buy what's on sale and work with that.
