[quote=Anonymous]I have a family of 5 but DD is a vegetarian. The amount I cook depends on the meal as not everything is equally enjoyed. I make 2 pounds of boneless chicken and have leftovers but if I make 2 pounds of taco meat, it’s often all consumed. For burgers I make 1/3 pound per person and that seems just right. For steak, I purchase 2 lbs. DH will consume a lb on his own but my boys will split the remaining lb with me and nobody goes hungry. I round out meals with lots of sides which they enjoy more than the meat. Also, no matter what the meal they will be back in the kitchen eating in 2-3 hours. I don’t worry about preparing food for the second meal. We always have plenty of easy foods for them to prepare themselves. [/quote]
