I grew up in a big family (Mom, Dad, and 5 kids, all with hearty appetites) and have difficulty cooking for a small group. We almost always end up with leftovers after every dinner, often enough for an entire additional meal. While this, in theory, could save time the following evening, the truth is that we like a little more variety than that. There’s a trend taking off in Vancouver, British Columbia that might be the answer to my problem: food swaps.
Today on 
If there’s one complaint I could register with the owners of my favorite restaurant, it’s the need for kid portions. Not a kids menu, mind you. I don’t need chicken nuggets and mac and cheese at a Greek restaurant.
If I could pass on one piece of advice to any parent who’s frustrated by their child’s dinnertime antics, it would be this: breakfast for dinner. The eight kids in my household love it, whether I serve pancakes or oatmeal or these breakfast sandwiches.
