[quote=Anonymous]Yes, always. My parents always went out of their way to make impromptu teenager meals happen for two reasons: A)They preferred to keep an eye on me at home rather than be at someone else’s house, and B)A few in my friend group had really unstable home lives (divorce, DV, alcohol, drugs, etc.) and the meals at our house were likely the best they had that week.

So I happily do it for my kids’ friends and for the same reasons. I can go all out and grill burgers, steaks, or salmon with a few sides, whip up a classic comfort food spread, or do breakfast for dinner. Boys often request my chili (already pre-made and frozen) or a charcuterie board. Girls often want smoothies. Or if I’m short on time we just raid the chest freezer that we keep stocked with Costco junk that hungry teens love. We rarely order takeout for them and would likely do frozen pizzas at home instead of Domino’s, but B-Dubs’ wings, a Taco Bell party box, a sack of Arby’s roast beef sandwiches, and even a bucket of KFC have all been hits.[/quote]
