The Growing Grocery Bill

It's amazing how much kids eat! Especially when we FINALLY all eat the same things. Now, my friend Suzie has 7 people in her family; when she shops, it looks like she's buying enough food for an army. Our family of 5 pales in comparison, but it's a culture and budget shock for me!

A couple Sundays ago, we had biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs for breakfast. Roan has always loved B&G. This is a new love for Libby. She eats gravy like a champ! As it turns out, Sean is a B&G fan too.

Libby loved it so much, she scraped the bowl, then licked the spatula! Note the very clean plate! This breakfast consisted of: 8 eggs, 12 biscuits, about 3 gallons of gravy. There was 1/2 of a biscuit left. What? I was afraid Shannon would fuss at me for cooking TOO MUCH!! There's such a sweet satisfaction in seeing your family around the table, laughing and scraping their plates!
