Non stop eatting

[Spixie33]

I have lots of kids who seem to have bottomless stomachs. Sometimes I cook food thinking it will last us 2 days and they clear it out in 1. I usually cook a big batch of food to feed my family and then use the leftovers the following day for the daycare but I am starting to think I may have to cook separately for my family and the daycare so there is enough to go around

My biggest eater is a 1 year old. This child can eat 2-3 bowls full of whatever lunch we are having plus tons of snacks.

I also try to buy organic stuff (probably half of what we eat) and some of the Earth's best crackers are over $3 a box and are gone from just 1 snack time

I have started serving the fruit/veggies that some serve after lunch as a before the lunch appetizer so that I am giving less of the actual meal and meat to their stomachs since everyone having 2-3 servings is really killing me. Some days I am not sure how to even keep reheating enough food for everyone because I am scooping left and right and hearing demands for 'more please'.

The best thing is to make sure there is protein in the lunch
