Your teenager has turned into a human vacuum cleaner. The fridge empties overnight, the grocery bill is spiralling, and you're too exhausted to cook another elaborate meal. This book is not about gourmet parenting or Instagram-worthy lunches. It's about getting food on the table that fills bellies, respects your time, and won't break the bank. Inside you'll find strategies for big-batch cooking that actually gets eaten, one-pan dinners that cut down dishes, and snacks that don't require a chemistry degree. We'll cover how to build a pantry that supports last-minute meals, how to repurpose leftovers without complaints, and how to handle the after-school raid without losing your mind. Every recipe is tested by tired cooks, not celebrity chefs. No special equipment, no exotic ingredients, no guilt. Just real food for real teenagers. Part of The Tired Cook's Library.
