    13-year-old boys definitely eat a lot-and the should! They are growing and their bodies need lots of nutrition! I am glad you got those protein bars for your son! Also, wheat bread with lots of PB is filling and tasty. The goal is to fill them up with relatively healthy food.

    Waiting for 3 hours is NOT a waste of time-you are accomplishing something. You’re getting food for your family and you are showing your kids that you will go what needs to be done to meet their needs and care for them.

    for the tomato paste i would make 3 large batches of spaghetti sauce and freeze it for when ever i wanted spaghetti for a year. 1 can tomato paste 1 can crushed tomatoes 2 can diced tomatoes at least 1/2 a can hot water. i would use a 10 lb chub of meat, 10 onions 10 sweet peppers a whole 16 oz of minced garlic and lots of basil, oregano , rosemary and thyme. oh and yes i mean number 10 cans

    That looks like at least $100 dollars worth of food. Even if you wait 3 hrs that’s still $33 dollars worth an hour. I’m glad it’s getting eaten rather than thrown away too.

      A very valid perspective. I've used something similar with coworkers depending on the situation.
      My dad was a construction worker, so feast or famine. My Mom judged our purchases by thinking of how many hours he had to work.

    Hi 🌿. Great haul. Take a cookie scoop and portion the tomato paste onto a baking sheet.🍅 Freeze and then pack them in a box. Then you can take as many as you need for different dishes. You can also take a jar of the tomato paste🍅 and make a large batch of creamy tomato soup🥣, freezing in portions. Perfect to have ready for a simple meal, with grilled cheese sandwich.🥪 Take care, Birgitta 🥰🍁🌻🍂💙💛

    It is great to make your own sloppy joe sauce, bbq or enchilada sauce. Obviously spaghetti sauce and pizza sauce are great. Some people make it into tomato soup.
