How much food?..

if the ingredients are NOT measured to begin with. How do we know per serve what we are actually getting?...

this has been a question of mine for years lol.

I just guess-timate!...

Because I'm cooking for a family with 6 or 7 and me it makes it difficult to measure what the others willl eat.

Some like a shit load more and some like less.

If I was just cooking for me of course I would measure.

Is it possible to do a large pot for the family and a small, measured pot separately at the same time? That way you can leave out any carby additions as well as knowing how much of each ingredient you are getting.

Sure, you are in control of what you cook and can do anything you want.
