Large Family What We Eat In A Day

Being at home all day every day homeschooling the kids means I need to put 3 square meals on the table every day. It sounds like a big task, and some days it feels like it. But most days it's just part of our rhythm and not too big of a deal since I'm always thinking at least one day ahead regarding food and prepping for one or two meals ahead. Today was just a typical day at home with a simple, high-protein breakfast and a big pot of soup for lunch that lasted a few meals. I had planned to make meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and cheesy broccoli for dinner but the baby was sick so I just used the soup we had for lunch for dinner as well and made my meatloaf dinner the next day.
