I would follow the previous suggestion and also i would reduce slightly the cooking time of my kids vegetables; shaving a minute everytime, they might not notice. It is worth a try )

I'm having the same problem and what I've been doing is making myself a salad for myself when I've made a crock pot meal and no one else wants any veggies or salad. I have no problem eating clean for breakfast and lunch and snacks because I bring my food to work with me every day, but dinner time is a pain, because I either have to make 2 different meals or I modify what I'm going to eat compared to the rest of the family. I can't get my husband off soda and my daugter is 13 and she is starting to try new foods and eat more veggies than she used to, but she gets tired of the "healthy stuff" and then she just doesn't eat enough, so I end up making some of her all time favorites to make sure she eats! Frustrating to be the only one in the house trying to be healthy and exercise! It's been one of my excuses as to why I couldn't lose weight. Now it's all about me and I need to take care of myself because no one else will, so I'm making the best of this situation.

Raising kids to eat clean is far easier than trying to get your spouse to do it. You are the provider and raising kids is a social and environmental process. They will learn to eat better. Find inventive ways to cook things they don't like very much. Mediterrainian and vegetable-filled asian inspired plates are some of the most healthy on the planet. Why? They have a colorful plate and it's prepared in a way that most people wouldn't think just about eating vegetables.

I don't have kids, but my fiance lives with my family til after we get married. We buy our own food and have our own fridge. We're equal providers, so it makes the shopping difficult. He is very skinny and eats complete junk. I have to buy things we both like, and sometimes I have to prepare different things...or eat small portions of the main course he likes and make extra vegetables and such for myself to supplement. He's extremely bad at eating leftovers, so it gives me more to put in my lunch throughout the week. The downside is that we cook a lot of food. I hate waste.

I won't make dinner all the time because of this, so eating what he wants will also provide incentive for him to help cook. It's a two-way street.

Try having family cooking nights if your kids are old enough. Have everyone make something they like and make a rule that one has to be from each food group of the pyramid. You'll get a balanced meal and everyone can contribute.

Jessica Seinfeld's book--yes! Chickpeas in choc chip cookies? The batch was gone faster than ever! Even hubby wasn't suspicious. Also, she recommends setting out fruits n veggies to munch on while dinner is still cooking.

Chobani plain greek yogurt instead of sour cream.

I've mixed whole grain pasta in with "wacky mac" or reg. spaghetti, increasing the ratio of ww each time--it's a weaning process. For myself, I make spaghetti squash for "spaghetti" (this is advice from Ali Vincent of Biggest Loser)

I like the Steam Fresh Veggies (with no sauce). Everybody adds their own flavor--lemon pepper, season-all, or whatever.

My favorite trick with the kids is: I have a 2 large plastic trays (about 12x15??) in 2 different colors where I set up fun or fancy dishes of raw fruits n veggies. I try to set out a small amount of several items (carrots, celery, whole green beans, snap peas, etc.) then require the kids pick 2 fruits and/or veggies of which they will eat a certain amount in order to "earn" dessert. And we just won't tell them that "sweet bread" (zucchini bread with about 1/2 Tbsp of colorful sprinkles to disguise the green peel) has veggies--or that the fudge is actually made of black beans and dates! (see black bean brownie recipes online)

As far as hubby, I just call a spade a spade. The kids have learned that Daddy is an adult who can make his own choices, but I'm responsible for their well-being.

And every once in a while, they still get to have a soda or a bowl of sugar cereal...just so Daddy isn't the only good guy in the house
