[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The 3 nights you work should be leftover night for the kids. The days you are home, consider double batches of food. For example, chili, spaghetti sauce, or even, grilled chicken. I also make hearty soups as the weather gets cooler and freeze leftovers. [/quote] This is the answer. My kids are experts at reheating and will hoover up leftover pasta, etc. I do have to remind them to put a salad and a fruit on the plate each time or they will just eat the "good part" (remember the poor kid who ate all the whole foods pasta salad?) OP, start NOW with getting them into the habit of adding salad, veggie to every item of batch food they eat. The grilled chicken is a good idea. I have one teen addicted to grilled chicken wraps, and if she adds lettuce and tomato inside, and fruit on the side unsupervised I'm ok with that. [/quote]
