Thursday's Child · 02-09-2018, 04:53 PM

We have 3 kids and my oldest is rarely home for dinner. And because he's not working at our restaurant, DH and I are alternating opening and closing. So when I'm home in the evenings it's meals for three with leftovers for school lunch. Bigger meals on Sunday and Monday when we're closed. Thankfully on days I open, if it's been crazy busy or we have a commitment takeout from our place is adv option.

But there are days I plan to make dinner and by the time I get home I'm just not in the mood. That's why I keep soup bones in the freezer. Or plan roast chicken. That way I have an hour of cooking time before I have to chop veggies. LOL

I used to get frustrated with trying new things and someone complaining. But when DH decided to get serious about eating healthy, he became a bit of a food Nazi. Annoying but it did have the advantage of him laying down the law about eating what was cooked.
