[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry to break it to you, but you have no idea how easy you have it now that your kids are little. Not only do they go to bed at night in a routine, but they eat like simple little birds.

I have 3 teens/tweens who all play sports and have metabolisms of race horses. the volume I have to cook is truly exhausting. I can’t buy meat anymore at the regular grocery. I have to go to Costco. A pineapple? Don’t in a sitting. 1 gallon of milk a day, 3 dozen eggs a week, 2 bundles of asparagus a sitting. 3 loaves of bread a week. Hamburger night? I need to grill 9. I’m spending $400/wk on groceries (we don’t eat out AT ALL).

Enjoy your cheese sticks, chicken nuggets, and apple slices.[/quote]

Ha ha!  My kids are also older now, and the sheer volume of cooking can be exhausting, but I think going through the early years of cooking for a family of younger kids helped make it more tolerable now.  I enjoy cooking, but don't enjoy cooking ALL of the time, so I have embraced cooking some simpler meals, have made certain dishes often enough that I can put them together pretty quickly, have learned to double up and freeze some things, and am not above the occasional dinner of sandwiches or a very basic breakfast for dinner.
