[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have only one teen, but aside from that I am in the same boat! My teen is also super skinny and trying to gain weight while DH and I are trying to lose. We feel terrible every time we make something and he eats just a few bites and then “isn’t hungry.”

We do lots of meals with a starch, vegetable, and protein cooked separately. So meatloaf with glazed carrots and mashed potatoes. Mix and match rice, bread, roasted potatoes for starches; roasted cauliflower, steamed broccoli, sautied green beans for veg; pan fried chicken breasts, pot roast, etc for protein.

I actually think the tacos are a win in your scenario. Everyone got something to eat! Yay!

And right there with you on the exhaustion. [/quote]

Similar situation, we do a lot of meals like this, and I cycle through different kinds of proteins each night with us eating out/getting takeout one night. I think that a lot of us burned out on cooking over the past few years and never totally recovered.  Kitchn had an article on the burned out cook during early COVID that I revisit every so often.

I'm intrigued by PP's flavor bombs and how they use them.[/quote]
