Healthy Recipes for Picky Eaters?

Your husband sounds a lot like my boyfriend. Easiest swaps for us were to do turkey burgers instead of beef all the time, investing the money in buying higher quality food (farmer's marker, lower-fat meats), and adding more pork into our routine because holy carp, low calories!

I also started trying new recipes, and my boyfriend (who was addicted to fried french fries) loves my baked sweet potato fries, will eat asparagus if it's roasted, and now eats spinach salads voluntarily. At our local farmer's market, people sell it for $2 a bag and it's so much different than what you get in stores.

I need some help. I really want our family to eat better, healthier, and cleaner. The problem is, my husband is EXTREMELY picky! He is strictly "meat and potatoes" and nothing else. The only green vegetable he eats is green beans and that's pretty much it. I know I can't make him eat different, but I would love for us to eat healthier. Any ideas??

Fried Brussel sprouts with pancetta and a honey or balsamic reduction drizzle

Asparagus wrapped in prosciutto with parm

Stuffed poblanos with rice and steak

I'll take all dat.

is it possible to switch out the meat for some well-marinated oily fish (salmon, tuna, mackerel)?

also, is there are key ingredient (like chili or some other flavour) that they really like? That might be transferable to a healthier dish. Also, things like cauliflower mash instead of potatoes could work, the taste is essentially the same. Also, if you blend in some garlic and onion, you can get more flavours. It's possible to skip over a lot of creamy components without fuss.

Healthier versions of normal dishes can also pass under the radar. Using less oil, baking, steaming or poaching rather than frying... also, secret power ingredient, Kewpie Deep-Roasted Salad Dressing. I don't know what kind of crack they've got up in there, but when it's on (just a tablespoon will do, though I nearly swilled down the whole first bottle) I chase my broccoli around the plate.
