How do people cook dinner every single night

Cooking for 7 people every night is getting boring FAST. Especially because half of them make a gigantic fuss about eating it. Idk what to even make anymore. Do people make the same food every week? We are normally an instant noodles family and trying to change that is really rough

Like tonight I’m making a pasta bake thing i found online but prepping the veges for this many people takes forever

[i]I'm hiyup. I married a skinny bird but even she had a ma that knew a few things about keeping the dishes covered once a day. This work horse and sons needed to solve that problem too. Here's a couple recollections how we did it.


Between us we figured it out. Took us years before we had some pretty meals before us but at least we ate. One hour to an hour and a half increments can be scattered across days. Get big cookware use tupperware limit serving sizes and don't throw out leftovers use that fridge. Accept the fact that peanut butter or grille cheeses are going to get used as supplimental offers for the picky or they won't get to eat. Never let the junk food take up space in the pantry.

Stop wasting money on the easy prep frozen stuff that's got low nutritional value.
Buy bakery bread from the day old rack it takes longer to digest. Use hamburger helper. Eggs can be stretched with milk. Potatoes are economical. Dry beans make thick soup. Soup over rice is nice. Home made pizza is costly but 3 to 5 times as filling if you make it right. Flour makes gravy and a roast sliced up thinly mixed with plenty of broulet or heavy gravy and cooked carrots and cubed potatoes over a few slices of bread is a feast. You don't have to rob banks to buy provisions but you will need a family donate meal fund. Feeding a crowd isn't that hard but telling the lambs pissin away dollars on pork rind chips & flaming hots won't stave off hunger all day every day. This is a group effort you can cooperate and put your coins and singles in the can or feel hungry more often tell them.

Big pot of chili to reheat.
Big pot of spaghetti.
Big pot of sloppy Joe.
Big pot of hamburger helper.
Big pot of meaty soup or beef stew.
Big pot of cheesy mac
Tray of chops and boiled taters.
Tray of chicken and mash potatoes
Sale meats pot roasts with American fries.
Waffles and ground pork sausages.


Taters, greens, [/i]
Chili is easy but spghetti is hard to clean up after. I make hamburger helper homemade in one pot. That way you don't have to drain the pasta and wash the extra pan and strainer. Chicken I would bbq. @SteelHands
