I started with a loaf of bread, a big bag of cheese, and a dozen eggs and set out to make "Toad in the Hole" (one piece for each of the four kids) to see if they liked it. Almost a full loaf of bread, a full dozen eggs, and a bag of cheese later, each kid wanted three pieces and I'm now (finally) sitting down to eat something.
It's amazing how much these kids can eat!
