My 2 cents......I make my food and then a side carb for DH and the kids....no muss, no fuss, no bother, everyone's happy and well fed. If it bothers you to make it yourself then get the kids to help at mealtime. My kids don't have a weight problem therefore I have no problem letting them eat higher carb foods....believe me...at 14, 12, 9 and 7 they burn it off as fast as they eat it.
