[quote=Anonymous]OP, why do you feel like a failure? It sounds like you feel you are failing because your kids are big eaters. That is normal! Good! It is much less expensive to toss multiple boxes of pasta down their gullets than to order pizza, no? A pound of pasta or a can of beans costs about a buck on sale. Is it that you don't think pasta is healthy? Or that you don't like to cook that much food because it makes you feel anxious? A pound of meat is a lot of meat for your size family only if you have money or environmental concerns, in which case yes, you are right. But if that is your concern you now need to substitute, and double down on the pasta and cheese and tomato sauce to make up for stretching the meat.

How about you imagine you are cooking for two dinners at once, and see if they eat it all? I imagine they will. And then they won't want pizza afterwards, and you'll save money!

I also think you need to toss those boys into the kitchen to make some food for themselves. How about they make dinner for the family at least once a week?[/quote]
