Diner for 6 no 2 make that 8

Meal time can be rather interesting in the ole household. To make things easier we have divided the nights up with Tressa taking a couple of nights, Melia a couple and Dee Dee and I doing the rest. We each have our own styles to fixing the meals and as well as our needs from the food. Jesse will eat anything and enjoy it. Spencer just needs lots of it. I like simple things, Dee Dee needs a balance to keep her blood sugars level. Melia is kind of limited in what she likes and with Tressa it depends on where she is at in her pregnancy. Some times for Tressa nothing sounds good and at other times if it doesn't move she is ready to eat it.



When it comes time to cook it is kind of similar. When Tressa feels up to it she likes to make new and different meals with lots of prepartion. Melia makes great spaghetti but after that the menu is grilled cheese or pizza sandwhiches. I tend to do more of the cooking because Dee Dee gets back to late from her work. My meals are more simplistic than Tressa's, with the focus on not too expensive, have plenty of food and be able to do it with the Grandkids helping out. The kids better look out when the Grandkids are able to express their desire for what they would like to eat because there is no doubt, thats what I will be fixing.





The key to meal preparation around here is flexibility for you never know for sure how many mouths there will be here to eat. When all else fails we fall back on Chili dogs because you know you just can't go wrong with chili dogs.
