Nothing worse than dealing with cranky kids only to have to turn around and go back through areas you had already been through.

I especially like the "talk to the kids" part.<br /><br />One thing I do, to cut down on prep-time, is I have my girls measure out the spices I need - ahead of time. Some recipes have a LOT of spices, so we'll do enough for several meals. For example, my chili, spaghetti sauce, and chili Colorado recipes. I'll have them make several "packets" so that we can just grab & go when we want to make these recipes. Sort of like the packets you can buy at the grocery store - I have them ready to go! Just be sure to put your "sweet" packets in a different location than your "savory" packets!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03973701060819052591noreply@blogger.com
