I'm having trouble keeping everyone fed.

I think of 3 oz as being a serving of fish, but if it is good I'd expect people to want seconds.

On the other hand, OP, salmon is expensive so you might want to just do two. Each Costco salmon is about $15 or so so that's $30 just for two. Maybe cook up a pack of sausages or something for additional protein. If cost is no concern, I'd get three.

What's for dinner tonight!?!

Okay thanks for the advice! Tonight's dinner is going to be falafel, beef kabob, salad and rice.

OP, I have to admit that your dinners always sound really good- regardless of portion size.

Thanks pp! I like to cook across lots of varying cultures. I make dishes from around the world and my own culture so that it varies

I agree, i missed this thread when it wasn't at the top for a few days. I got inspiration for what to cook from op telling what she was making a few times! The dinner you just posted sounds really good too.

Op here. I'm sitting up finishing what will probably be about 3 more hours of work and I am eating ..... Leftovers!!

It's like it's even better the second time around! I feel extra victorious because I made calamari and the kids loved it. They are usually weird about "strange things".

That is awesome op! I love it when I can get my ds to try different things too. He's 9 and will at least try almost anything. I'm not very adventurous, but dh is from a different country, so he gets to try stuff that I'd never think of eating bc of dh. I have gotten him to try lots of different fruits and vegetables though.

I wish the op of this thread would start an AMA. I usually find AMA threads to be annoying and self absorbed, but I was so interested in this OP for some reason lol. Any updates with having the kids home from school all summer, op?

[Anonymous]

I also want an update!

She is too busy cooking I think.

Hello,

Op here!

Things have been going well. Everyone is well fed. We actually have one of my son's friends staying with us for the week so I have been making extra food. Usually I'm really concerned about waste but everything is getting gobbled up.

My friend with teenage boys cooked a turkey last weekend to make sure there was enough food. That seems like a good idea.

Great to hear! What are the biggest changes you have made? What are your lessons learned?

That's awesome op! I thought of this thread just recently. My mom visited us and she's the opposite. She cooks too much. I had to get rid of excess food
