Living in a five person household where eating healthy is frowned upon makes it hard on me to cook meals & buy food when I get the "only you eat it only you buy it" speech

Lately I have just been eating
spinach
Carrot
Apples (not a big fan)
Frozen Weight Watchers creamy rigatoni w/ broccoli & chicken
Jimmy Dean Turkey sausage eggwhite croissant
Blueberry waffles
Boca burgers
Corn
Okra
eggs
Vosko yogurt
Whole grain oatmeal
Special k cereal
Organic soups
Whole wheat Thomas muffins
Tuna

Obv some of it isn't the greatest choice but im getting bored
what else can I get thats actually great cheap & easy?

    Maybe you could make a family sized meal and just eat the left overs. I like chicken fajitas...chicken,onions,peppers, mushrooms, with whole wheat tortillas. some times i skip the tortillas and just eat the chicken and veggies in a bowl.

    Buy yourself some protein and make some protein pancakes by adding an egg per scoop. You prob. won't have to worry about anyone messing with it. lol Max Muscle has a great selection and flavors. Veggies from a wholesale store are priced pretty good. How about frozen items and in bulk so if they do eat some, you will still have a chance at having some left. Strawberries and blueberries are great for metabolic responses from the body. Good luck. That sucks about the negative attitude about eating healthy.

    I am addicted to frozen peaches. Eat them frozen fixes my sweet tooth. I eat a lot of light string cheese. PB2 is a powered peanut butter. it is great for dippeing apples and such.

    Check out www.skinnytaste.com and www.emilybites.com. They are family-friendly, healthy and delicious meals on there. I cook from those sites 2-3 times per week.
