Dawn--my son is only 7. Crazy huh? He is what throws my grocery budget off every week.
The other day he asked for more salami after he had finished all the rest of his lunch. I said yes. (Since he had already had 2 peaches and half the bag of carrots.
) So he got the deli bag out of the fridge and started chowing down. I had to tell him to STOP that salami was supposed to last for one more lunch. I am considering protein shakes--I have to find a way to fill this kid up.
I have two days worth of meals. Don't know yet what they add up to but going to give it a shot.
