"Yes, the kids a have lots of individually packages stuff for their lunches. Oreos, small bags of snacks, juice boxes"
- Note that this and restaurant food are not in line with your stated goal of eating healthy.
Generally the healthy food is pretty okay price wise: fruit and veggies, pulses, oats, healthy oils, low or no meat etc, basic stuff you prepare yourself.
Well, we like meat....
On weekdays I am home (Remember I travel 100 days a year) I make breakfast at 6am while my kids make their own lunch.
Usually I usually make 1 meat, we rotate bacon, sausage, or corned beef. Eggs made to order. There is always strawberries or blackberries but the kids dont usually eat them. They will eat apples bananas and watermelon as a snack. I do an omelets ever few days to use up lefotver meats and veggies. Occasionally biscuits form a can when we run out of toast. On weekends my wife does pancakes or waffles or we eat cereal.
The kids normally do a ham or Chicken sandwich with Diya Cheese (We are all allergic to dairy) and mayo, A Juicebox, 2 oreos and a small bag of pretzels or chips.
I normally cook salads or occasionally poke bowls, or Chilli for my wife and I for lunch.
I cook Dinner too. Mondays is Salmon and rice, Tuesday tacos, Wednesday we order Pizza (or occasionally bbq ribs), Thursday or Gyros greek salads, or shrimp salads, or Brats on the grill, Friday hamburgers on the grill, We normally have at least one meal out each weekend, and leftovers.
So that 1200 dollars for restaurants is typically Wednesday and Saturday dinner, and a few lunches a month when I am out of town.
