He and the kids do cereal every morning. (On very, very special occassions I get going earlier and make pancakes or eggs.) Lunch is our big meal of the day. We get daddy for lunch every day so I usually make up something more elaborate then (because I also like eating a larger meal earlier in the day and not later). I always make enough for leftovers and dinner is usually sandwiches or left overs from the previous days' meals. Works for us! We also eat out once a week. (Our eating out budget is $12 a week and we make that work with coupons, etc.)Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772667430500306088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903409844961124425.post-51396489595041432262014-01-25T22:44:30.513-05:002014-01-25T22:44:30.513-05:00Cooking is fun and I enjoy it but I love no-cook F...Cooking is fun and I enjoy it but I love no-cook Friday nights!

So, this post came at the perfect time! I often struggle with making sure we're eating healthy, but attempting to keep our days simple at the same time. <br /><br />Our breakfast is almost always eggs or pancakes of some kind of variation(most the time fruit is added). On mornings that are more rushed, we turn to granola bars. Lunches are usually leftovers or sandwiches. Like you, our suppers tend to be more involved. To be honest, I don't plan like I should, though! Recently, our oven blew out, so I'm relying on just our stove top until we get it fixed. I didn't realize just how much I depend on my oven to cook! ;)Bluerosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00680170638396181756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903409844961124425.post-25273228255668422052014-01-22T15:44:53.363-05:002014-01-22T15:44:53.363-05:00Easy yet healthy... two great combinations! Depe...Easy yet healthy... two great combinations! Depending on what dinner is and how much I make we usually have leftovers as well. As for breakfast my kids love grilled cheese... every now and than I add some turkey or ham to go in it. Before bed we usually snuggle up on the couch with a big plate of mixed fresh fruit for a snack and watch some tv.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00637700766027362094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903409844961124425.post-3135019679903877132014-01-22T11:44:27.123-05:002014-01-22T11:44:27.123-05:00We do both.

When all the kids are with their "other" parent, it is a Leftovers day. Like today (Wednesday), I have no kids, so I will eat some nachos and perhaps a soft pretzel and a bit of dark chocolate. That is all... no planning involved. Sunday nights we do a large family meal because we are all together those days. That means smoked meats, veggies, bread, dessert... the works. I find that planning for meals after sports is hard. Something fast and easy in the car seems to be my downfall, we usually just eat out to keep myself sane!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16485286086930204753noreply@blogger.com
