[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd make extra and freeze some leftovers.  I'd have each kid learn a couple easy dishes.  Vegetarian kid can learn to scramble some eggs, or to make black beans and rice, or to microwave a veggie burger.  Omnivore kid can learn to stick some salmon under the broiler, or fry up a hamburger.  Then they have options when the nanny cooks something that only works for one kid.[/quote]

OP here.
Actually, she does make eggs for breakfast sometimes. So maybe that's an idea for her for some days.
And as one of the previous posters said, my son could make some bacon. He would be happy about it.
I'm trying to see the nanny's side and I understand to a point - she only has an hour before they have to leave, so supervising homework, folding laundry, letting dogs out, cooking meat, pasta and vegetables at the same time might get overwhelming. 
But I like some of the ideas mentioned before - on those days my DD could easily grab a yogurt or make some eggs.
I think I know how I'm going to approach this.
We really love our nanny. She is extremely flexible with our crazy hours and she truly loves my kids. She's been with us for almost two years.
I was taken aback by what she said. My DD can be a picky eater at times and she probably got concerned that it would be too much for her to handle.
