[quote=Anonymous]Lean on prepped food:

Keep a rotisserie chicken, precooked and sliced ham, etc. in the fridge.  Canned tuna and other canned meats are easy to keep on hand and can be used for more than sandwiches.

You can have bagged salads, prewashed spinach, precut veggies, etc., available for them.  Frozen vegetables are already prepped and just need to be seasoned and cooked (microwaving is fine).

Let them pick out an assortment of frozen dinners that are on the healthy side, so when they’re scrounging, they still end up with a reasonably healthy meal.

Asking teens to cook one meal a week (paid or not) is not unreasonable and is probably a good idea to prepare them for adulthood.  They may need some assistance at first, so you may want to start them off helping you, or at least have their first few meals on nights when you’re present and available for questions.  These days, there are so many meal kits, frozen family meals, etc., that it doesn’t have to be a huge chore.[/quote]
