One way I've found to get the best of both worlds is by purchasing a $20 rice cooker. No pots, no pans, just put in rice and water and flip the switch.

I am surprised at the foods that some of my DDs teen friends won't eat: Chicken pot pie -- because there were mushrooms in it. Pork chops. Fried rice. Calzones (although they eventually came around on that) The 4 meals that everyone would eat: tacos baked potatoes pasta quesidillas Had to add this.

She's entirely right about feeding teenagers. We used to have 3 over for supper every week...gotta get back to that.
