[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cook first thing in the morning.  It is a game changer. Cooking when people are hungry and tired is not pleasant. Also, having HANGRY people around is a recipe for conflict and dysfunction.

Your first 2-3 courses should be raw veggies/fruits,  simple soups and probiotics like keffir/saurkraut/yogurt.  They are quick to put together. Some don't even require cooking.  It takes the edge out of hunger,  provides essential nutrients, are easy to digest, have lots of fiber and fluids, has pre and probiotics to keep your good gut bacteria happy, and it gives you time to make/reheat entrees and sides etc.  The best part is that your family can put these first two-three courses together.

For example, my kids will cut carrots, apples and cucumber sticks and eat it with hummus, then they will take greek yogurt and add berries, nuts and seeds in it and eat that.  By that time - I can reheat something easy like spicy rosemary lemon chicken and serve with quinoa pilaf with nuts, sauteed onions and fresh microgreens.

Because they are eating veggies, fruits, nuts and seeds and probiotics - they are satisfied with the smaller quantities of carbs in the main meal.  As for desserts? They hardly have cravings after a full meal.
