[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH and I learned from my MIL to make lunch and dinner first thing in the morning.  By 8 am, we usually have  both meals cooked.   My kids know that food is kept near the stove in pyrex containers and I will put it in fridge only after it cools down.  They have the choice to eat what I have made or fix their own meal.  We may occasionally cook at night also, but it is only if we want to eat something different or we ended up with more people and need to make something else.

I don't understand what it has to do with having college children at home though? Are you guys not eating when they are not home? If you are fixing your lunch (probably slapping a sandwich together) why can't you make for other members of your family? When my DH fixes his lunch or warming his lunch, he fixes the same for everyone at home. When he makes a cup of tea, he makes for everyone who wants a cup too. My kids make smoothies or snacks and they will ask and make for everyone.  When I boil eggs, I boil enough for everyone. If they don't want to eat it, it goes in the fridge and can be repurposed for some other dish.

I don't think you ATA. You are being true to how you were socialized. There is no good or bad way. You do whatever you are comfortable doing. Your kids also will learn the same.   [/quote]

Could you share examples of what you cook, please? [/quote]
