My husband and I, have an in-home businesses and I am looking to make sure I don't cheat myself out of any tax benefits.  Therefore, I pose this question.  Since, I am technically buying the groceries to feed employees of "our" business.  And during these meals we often talk about business strategies and planning.  SO for tax purposes am I allowed to use the groceries purchased as a business expense.

LOL!  You are asking to be audited for sure.  There is no way that you can get away with this attempted fraud.  You cannot deduct food that you would have been eating anyway.  People like you are why all small business owners have to prove that everything they do is justified and why the IRS distrusts them all.
