[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've finally hit the ages I've been dreading where both kids have activities basically during dinner. Thanks to baseball, I now somehow have to feed one kid that gets HOME at 6:30 and another that has to LEAVE at 6:30, not to mention DH and me. And of course, everyone in the house except for me is a picky eater.

Tonight I'm making tacos and will just leave everything on the island and people can help themselves en route, but what other ideas do more experienced moms have for nights like this? I feel like my brain is breaking a little at the thought of having to feed 4 people 3 separate meals! [/quote]

That's what I do - make a dinner as if everyone is home and eating together.  Each person eats the same dinner, just at a different time.

Or the other thing I do is plan leftovers for our crazy night.  We'll eat leftovers that are up to 3 nights old.  So M, T & W are "fresh meals."  Thursday is a hodgepodge of the leftovers.  DH may be eating Mondays dinner, DS & DD are eating Wednesday's dinner and I'm eating Tuesday's dinner.

I do have one who will eat some food cold, especially cold chicken.  So he sometimes eats dinner on the go.

If your children are old enough, have them serve themselves.  We typically just use the microwave for re-heating.[/quote]
