I also only cook the one meal. I figure if they are hungry enough they will eat it. I started to use a white board for the chore chart and our daily menu, but then I heard complaints all day instead of just dinner time. I think I will make that offer to my husband next time he complains. It might even be a good diet move. He can't boil water.

I cook only one meal per meal. Everyone is served the same food after all good nutrition is good for everyone. They can adjust how much of the meal they want/need.

I have a standing offer that if my husband wants to complain about what I make that he can take over the job of cooking on a nightly basis. He has yet to take me up on the offer - lol.

Red beans & rice has been popular. We adults add a little Tobasco sauce to it and the boys love the kidney beans.

Kids hate everything. I have six of them and if everyone ate without complaint for one meal, I think I would faint. The husband on the other hand is a strange bird. If I make something he doesn't like he will eat it, but you can tell my his attitude that he doesn't like it. As dinner winds down, he will say, that was awful, don't make it again.

I need to lose weight so I am following the SP plan. I went through the weeks menu, changed it around for suit the family as much as possible. I shopped for it. (BTW I spent ten dollars less then usual this week shopping the SP way)

My husband loved the oregano chicken and like the new orleans red beans and rice, but wished there was some bacon in it.

Why are grown men sometimes so hard to deal with? Is your family eating the same as you? What new recipes are working for your family?
