Since my husband leaves early for work I usually cook dinner earlier than I would if he didn't have to work. So tonight I decided to make some grilled pork chops with mashed potato's and onion rings. The mashed potatos are for me and my daughter and the onion rings are for my husband because he doesn't eat any kind of potato unless is fried potatos or french fries. Yes, my husband is a very picky eater, and for that fact I often find myself running out of ideas of what to cook. My husband strictly eats meat and fried potatos/onion rings/french fries and nothing else. He hates salad and vegetables, so I often find myself cooking multiple sides because I don't want my daughter not liking vegetables.
So as I am cooking dinner now I got to thinking what everyone else is having for dinner tonight. What is for dinner at your house tonight? Do you usually cook a home cooked meal or eat out? Do you have any picky eaters in your house?

My husband was that way but not anymore. I told him I wouldn't cook crap every night it is unhealthy and I would not do that to myself or children. I would make dinner and if he refused to eat it then he would need to make his own. He eats everything now. Yes I am very stubborn..lol
Tonight we are having stuffed cabbage soup a family favorite..yum

Way to go OpinionatedLady! You're my kind of gal when it comes to being stubborn about how my family eats! I am NOT going to make 2+ meals every night so that everyone will be satisfied. I also hope to help my family to live long and happy lives.
It's hard to be happy after eating junk food. I know that a lot of people who eat junk food regularly might disagree with me on this one, but if they were to see how wonderful a body can feel after eating healthy food most of the time, they might switch. Now, I do like my pizzas, my take out, and dessert, but I save them for special occasions.
I also think the eating right helps lower medical and food bills because our bodies function better that way.

Seems like my husband is not coming home for dinner... once again. I planned on making alfredo chicken pasta last night and he didn't come home so I wanted to do it again tonight but it doens't look like he is coming... so I think I will have sirloin steak for dinner myself, maybe if he comes home later, I would make him parmansean chicken depends on how late he will come home.
I like to make meals at home and dine out once in a while. I like cooking, it is never a difficulty for me, I just wish my husband comes home earlier from work and eat with us together.

It is nice to be able to have meals together. I also enjoy cooking, it relaxes me. Chicken alfredo sounds delicious. It is one of my favorite meals, unfortunatley my husband doesn't like alfredo sauce so I usually just make it for myself and my daughter. The sirlion also sounds very good. I love seeing what others make so I can maybe get some ideas for different things for myself. Hope your husband makes it home early for you two can enjoy that alfredo together :)

I like to see what other people likes to do for dinner as well so it gives me ideas. Sometimes I feel like I don't know what to cook, then I just search ideas for dinner on the internet.

I am making frozen pizza tonight and having my neighbors over to watch a movie. My son is very picky - I usually have to make 2 things so that I know he will eat. It is a pain but he is getting better since he is getting older now.

I am not yet sure what for dinner tonight cause the only thing I have in my fridge are fishes. lol My husband only eats fried fish. Of course he needs to eat healthy food so I make sure there are vegetables or fruits that he can eat during the meal or after the meal.

I just buy roasted chicken for our dinner. My kids are the one very choosy. My husband used to eat anything I served but he is abroad so only viand for my kids is my concern every time.

Roasted chicken sounds very yummy. I know, my husband is the youngest in his family so he has been spoiled so I let him eat whatever and me and my daughter have a well rounded meal. Heck his mom use to let him eat ice cream for breakfast, yeah. I have been sort of successful with him trying new things, but I am introducing them slowly :)
