Family friendly recipes please?

Dawn_Robinson

Hey everyone,

I'm just re-starting my weight loss journey for the 100th time but I am desperate for some family friendly recipes. I have three kids age 4,5 and 9. The 9 year old will eat everything but the other two are really difficult and my youngest is autistic and tends to only eat plain foods. One meal that we all do eat is spaghetti Bolognese but I am really starting to get sick of that meal now!

Any suggestions would be great as there is only so much spaghetti one person can eat

What often works when you have to please people with disparate tastes and levels of pickiness is to serve things that aren't all mixed together to start with, so that each person can top the base with whatever they like: e.g., build your own tacos; deconstructed salads (or grain salads, or grains + greens salads); baked (jacket) potatoes with various toppings, etc.

I like that idea ^^^

During grilling season we have a lot of entrée salads. My OH will grill, and sometimes that means steak for him and chicken for me. I do the lettuce and the vegetables. Sometimes the only thing we have in common is the lettuce, lol. I'm sure it would be somewhat quicker if we had the same veggies, but it is still a very quick dinner, and everyone is happy.

Toasted wheat bread with 3 slices of turkey with lettuce tomatoes and pepper is the bomb

Do they like breakfast foods? When I'm not up for a lot of cooking for dinner, I turn to some sort of egg-based breakfast-type meal.

Less frequently, we have waffles, French toast, or pancakes for dinner.

Kebobs are liked here. Everyone can pick what veggies and protien they want. Served with salad and/or rice.
