[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reading this thread really makes me wish schools taught home ec still. Cooking is a lot easier if you know how to do it. If you know when to shortcut and when not, if you knew how to cook in the right order so you’re more efficient, etc. So many people hate cooking because they were never taught how to cook and suddenly are expected to cook.[/quote]

Experience really helps speed things up.

[b]Oh - and I rarely put things out on the table.  Instead I serve or now that kids are older I will place things so they can assemble.  If I had to put out in serving dishes, etc that would really take too much time and clean up!![/quote][/b]

+1000 The kids grab plates and come to serve themselves at the stove/counter top. saves time/dishes.

Also, I almost never make cooked veggies. Celery, cucumber, carrots, bell pepper strips, cherry toms. I also usually put hummus on the table, so the fussy eaters will at least be eating veggies and protein. And my carb side is often crusty bread from Republic instead of potatoes or rice. And in a pinch - a glass of milk, hummus and veggies, and a slice of good bread can count as dinner![/quote]
