Dinner and sports
I’m just curious how others deal with this. Both Heather and Todd will be playing soccer this fall. A weeknight practice and a weekend game. Thankfully, we’ve been able to get them on teams that practice the same night and have games the same day, though I’m sure we’ll have Saturdays when their games are hours apart.
Anyway, I’m trying to come up with a reasonably healthy way to feed all of us that doesn’t involve fast food every Thursday night, every single week. (Last year it was just Heather, so I would pick Todd up and we would make dinner during her practice, and eat as soon as DH and Heather got home.
I’m thinking that maybe I’ll pack a picnic the night before a few times. I can do crockpot meals, but we always need sides to go with them…
Any other brilliant ideas or are we stuck with convenience foods and fast food on soccer nights?
On a similar note, I can’t even imagine if our kids were doing more than one sport/activity or if they were doing a sport that practiced multiple times a week. Although I’m sure we’ll get there someday…

Re: Dinner and sports
If I pack dinner, we can stay at the park to eat until all of the traffic eases up. If we go home to eat, we'll get there at 7...but I guess we could do cereal with scrambled eggs or something super fast like that.
And good point, Megan, about dinner not being their best meal!
lol Amanda! I think that makes total sense to be surprised at recital:)
I feel like eggs are our big go-to on busy nights. Spice it up with bagel sandwiches one week or something like that! But I definitely like the idea of wraps and fruit and stuff for a picnic! I may have to do that while we still can with the weather! Great question!
rotisserie chicken! You can do so many things with it. Eat it hot as a "real" dinner, chicken salad, or throw it on a bun. I found this on pinterest http://pocketchangegourmet.com/25-easy-recipes-using-rotisserie-chicken/
