Today's tip is: Plan ahead.
Being homeschoolers, we are home A LOT. I love being at home, so that is not a big deal for us. But even though we are home a lot, you would be surprised at how often I am surprised by everyone's need to eat! I try to plan ahead for such events.
I usually set a day aside every so often to fill our freezer with individual servings sizes of things we like to eat. I make chili, tomato sauce, muffins, soups, even potstickers. I brown ground meat so I can throw together something fast if I need to. I freeze them in separate portions so that they are available whenever we get hungry. Usually it is for lunch, but sometimes it turns out to be dinner! It works out well and keeps us from grabbing something we shouldn't eat at a fast food place.

That's a smart tip for any family... homeschoolers or not. (Meaning, we should do more of that!)
:o)

Great ideas!! I am going to have to give this a try. Especially pre-cooking the hamburger meat. :-)
Thank you for tip.
