They would benefit with an instant pot or any number of small appliances but let's face it, that's not how they are cooking. But seriously, food doesn't have to look like hog slop coming off of a wood stove or a fire though. Like anything, a meal is all what you put into it; ingredients and effort. They could be cooking more nutritious and certainly better looking food and still stay on a budget. Nicole is just lazy and leaves it up to the kids to try and throw together whatever they can from what ever poor ingredients she drops in their laps. I'd venture to say that none of them have ever had any real instruction in the kitchen although what a fantastic homeschooling idea, Nicole; Home Economics- ever hear of it? 

Here's a wood stove meal.



Not a wood cook stove, but a regular flat top wood heater. Tastes great, nutritious, and looks pretty good I think. Cost? Pennies. I figured what it would cost to feed this meal to 12 people. $4.50 tops, no meat. Add chicken, likely about $7.00 max if you load it. It took one skillet with the lid flipped top side down. Rice in the pan, veggies in the lid. Cast iron works best but stainless works too.
