[quote=Anonymous]I agree that it’s the same food, different ratios.

So like this week’s menu:

Roast chicken, roast baby potatoes and blanched green beans—I have 1/2 a chicken breast, like 3 potatoes and a bunch of green beans.  3 kids split the rest of the chicken and eat a pile of potatoes each and some green beans.

Last night was tamales and a cold corn and bean salad kind of dish with fresh tomatoes and black beans and stuff.  I had one tamale and then about 1 cup of the bean salad and no chips.  Kids had 2-3 tamales each, then split a bag of chips which they used to scoop up big bowls of the bean salad.

Tonight was falafel wraps.  I had mine over a bowl of lettuce with the veggies and hummus and falafel as toppings.  Kids had them in pitas and ate 3 pitas each stuffed with their fav toppings.

Tomorrow is a chicken sautee dish with rice.  I will have one chick n thigh, some of the cooked veggies and a little rice.  They will have like two cups of rice, 2-3 chicken thighs each, and veggies on the side.

Thursday is a Thai salad with peanut sauce and shrimp and noodles on top of chopped cabbage and other veggies. They will have triple the amount of noodles and sauce that I do.
Friday is soup and bread and cheese.  I will have 1 slice of bread and a little cheese and lots of soup.  They will eat half a loaf between the three of them and eat tons of cheese.[/quote]
