Parents everywhere face a mother lode of work, especially now. I get it. At my corner desk nestled in the front room, I’m bombarded by hungry faces every 90 minutes. I’m torn between being a short-order cook, making snacks and lunches for my totally capable tweens, and yelling, “Go get your own damn snacks!”

There has to be a better way. I consulted kids culinary instructors to find out where to begin, and they shared bite-sized steps you can take to lighten your load.
