[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know why some of the pps are trying to act like everything on the table is junk food. I stated all the stuff that i feed them and then they are still hungry. I already stated that I'll cook more. Sorry but I don't believe that a teen boy eating a 160 cal bag of Doritos is negligence. [/quote]

When you get into the 2 chickens served in one night category THEN you understand. Like you, I do. There was no such thing as leftovers in our home. Many times I was lucky to get in on any meal. Those suckers INHALE food. LOL. And I cooked 3 meals a day most days. Talk about no me time. My me time happened when grocery shopping alone.

I learned to bake cakes, cookies, brownies, pies because they still feigned hunger one hour after eating. We had to have dessert or they would die of starvation.   :D  I made all that from scratch because the already made stuff didn't last, wasn't enough or didn't taste good.

The only thing I can tell you is buy more food and cook more each meal. If you can't, make sure you have a good backup snack for later because a yogurt, fruit cup, popcorn ain't gonna put a dent into those bottomless pits.

Wait until they leave home. You get so used to cooking big that it's actually hard to just cook for two.

Beans, rice, potatoes. Baked potatoes especially are filling and don't skimp on the stuff to put on them. You can buy big cartons of sour cream, big canisters of chives, big blocks of real butter, huge bags of cheeses at your bulk store for way cheaper than the regular grocery store. Buy those big potatoes there too. Make your own mac and cheese real cheap. Buy big cereal bags. And don't forget the big bottles of chocolate/strawberry syrup because what good is buying 5 gallons of milk each week if you can't have flavored milk. LOL.  Learn to grill. Stews, loaded homemade vegetable and chicken noodle soup, spaghetti and meatballs, lasagna, chili, what I call brood food.

Good luck OP. I do know what you're going through and it's hard to keep up with all those hungry mouths.
