Snacks or Meals

We’ve returned to our every other meal system, which is that I cook a meal on Monday (for example), and we split it in half and eat the other half on Wednesday. In between, on Tuesday and Thursday, is another dish, divided in half. And so on. So, instead of cooking every night, I’m now on for two nights and then off for two nights.

Dinner is the only meal I sit down and eat without distraction. I work as I eat breakfast and lunch, though Josh and I sit down and talk through dinner. So it’s kind of special in that way, and it’s obviously a longer meal to create and consume.

I think I would miss it if we switched to six snacks per day instead of three meals. I’m not sure how the kitchen math would work with that. Would each recipe yield 4 – 6 snacks? Would I only cook every third day? I’m not sure what is defined as a snack or a meal, only that people always want to get together for dinner, and no one ever asks us to get together for fifth snack.

But I think I may like having four small snack breaks per day and one leisurely dinner. I think I may be more of a snack person at heart. Are you?
