Ha, same. Mine's still growing at 6'2". I barely have enough food anymore.

1/2 of the time I order DoorDash while standing around at practice. 1/4 of the time I heat up leftovers, 1/4 of the time I make something like chicken nuggets and cut up veggies and whatever else I can scrounge up. This isn’t my dream ideal but it’s what happens. We have two elementary kids, one parent home around 430 and one parent home around 645.

We grill chicken, burgers, etc ahead of time and it makes it easy to eat meat, rice, vegetable on busy nights. Or make ahead pasta or soup that can be microwaved.
