My Kids Eat Like a Pack of Wild Wolves

It isn’t like I starve my kids, but when my kids get their hands on food they act like they haven’t had food it days. I guess it is a good thing. I suppose. Maybe not for the check book but heck, there are two major things that are the most important to me. That is my kids have a nice home and are well fed. The rest is gravy!

Both my wife and I really enjoy food. There isn’t much we don’t eat. I know a lot of people who won’t eat certain foods and I am one that loves most foods and only likes a few… if that makes sense.

I think we are also very fortunate we don’t have food allergies in the house. With 5 kids eating all at once it would be tough to have 4 of them be able to eat peanut butter while one couldn’t. We have been very fortunate.

But a typical Sunday morning I will cook up some omelets and I used to get away with one pan. Now I have to get two burners going. Same with hamburgers in the evening… unless of course I am on the grill. I stopped cooking so much steak because when we are all just sitting down for dinner I have to spend the next 10 minutes cutting steak into fine pieces and dishing them out to the kids. When I finally get to the last kid, the first one wants more. Chicken cuts more easily.

I haven’t done away with steak as we all love it but I don’t have it 3 or 4 times per week like we used to.

But all my kids eat well and fill their tummies. Wait until my 5th child starts solid food. It will be insane around here at meal time that’s for sure.
