[quote=Anonymous]Cook more. Trust me, you WANT to be the family that always has the kids buddies over for dinner. You get extra time with your kid and learn about the goings on at school, plus the knowledge that your kid is safe at home vs out who knows where with their friends. 10/10 worth the extra money for the extra food and eating leftovers for lunch even if it’s not your favorite. Sometimes my son eats the same amount as I do, and sometimes it’s triple that, so we making larger servings should be expected anyway!

Otherwise, raw shrimp and frozen bread and veggies are good to have on hand. Shrimp thaws quickly and can be added as an appetizer or into the entree. Ditto frozen veggies - broccoli or green beans can be added to a lot of things I’m already cooking. And I buy sister shuberts frozen parker house rolls, they heat up quickly and are delicious. Two pans of those added to dinner help bulk the meal up a lot.

But really, just plan to make extra every meal. Soon enough your kids will be out of the house, and if you can afford a few extra dollars to double the recipe, it will be well worth it.[/quote]
