Big families need portion options | #QuakerEpicAdventures

quaker

I have a large family.  With three kids ranging in age from 6 to 12, I need to have various portion sizes available.  My 6-year-old eats like a bird, my 9-year-old eats like she is always starving and my 12-year-old, well, it all depends on the day. Breakfast time is difficult, unless we do cereal…but [...]

Teriyakifajitas
