Trying to make things easier for myself. The two older boys now have to make dinner 1 night a week. That's two nights I don't have to come up with something to make or cook anything. Whatever they want to make is fine. If it's something a little complicated I will supervise but will not help. The rest of the nights have been assigned as well.
Sunday- Family Night (this is where I try to make a meal that takes a bit to make)
Monday- Crockpot Night (I hate having to cook on Mondays so anything that makes itself works for me)
Tuesday- Pre-teen's Night
Wednesday- Mexican/Italian Night
Thursday- Teenager's Night
Friday- Easy Night (anything that won't take that long to make)
Saturday- Pizza Night (I normally make the dough during the week when I have some time)
This works out pretty good. I try to plan out the meals for two weeks. This way I only go to the grocery store twice a month. This saves me time and money. As for the boys cooking night they don't mind cooking. Sure we've been eating hotdogs and grill cheese sandwiches but at least I don't have to cook that night. So you won't hear me complaining.
