[quote=Anonymous]Teen boys are bottomless pits. I shop at Costco. If I were you, I’d start with the the big packs of whatever is on sale and make it all. This will help you calibrate what you need. You’ll have leftovers but they won’t go to waste.

Make sure you use glass storage that is see through so they don’t complain that you “have no food.”

I always have potatoes on hand and they know how to microwave those in a pinch. Have plenty of sour cream, butter, cheese on hand so they can fill up. I also usually have a big thing of spaghetti and meatballs made and in the fridge for when they’re ravenous. Again, Costco. Frozen meatballs, big jars of sauce. A bazillion bananas, so much peanut butter, rice and beans…

It’s a totally different mindset you need to get into when feeding teen boys, I’ve had to completely 180 and focus on getting enough in them. Keep serving the veggies too - eventually you’ll stumble on a winner. Mine like roasted broccoli but I have to make like four heads of it. [/quote]
