[quote=Anonymous]I recently got married, and now have a family of four: me, DH (50), DS (12), and D(step)S (19). This is our first time living together. The 19 year old just got home from college, at the same time the 12 year old started eating more, and I’m suddenly not making enough food. The gentlemen in my family are big meat eaters. The 12 year old is used to getting a good portion of vegetables (and doesn’t eat a lot of starches except rice) but the other two are not (but they will eat starches). I don’t think right now is the time to force vegetables on them, but I do serve vegetables with every meal because DS and I eat them. If you have a similar family demographic, how much meat are you cooking for dinner? When it was just DS and I, we would have leftovers from a pound of meat. Last night, I cooked two pounds of lean ground beef, plus rice and broccoli and it wasn’t enough. Is it normal to cook 2.5 lbs of meat per meal for a family of four?[/quote]
