[quote=Anonymous]OP -- how did you handle dinner prior to kids?  Did he eat your food then?  Was he still doing the protein and broccoli/sweet potato thing then, too?  Were you always eating out or getting takeout?  It sounds like he (and the kids?) are perfectly happy with what he makes, but that you find it too limiting.  Perhaps you can make some additional items over the weekend that can supplement what he makes and sort of serve it like a buffet. That way, the kids can try some new stuff and you can have some variety.  Perhaps some sort of simple vegetable gratin like a ratatouille or potato gratin (it doesn't need to have cream and cheese).  Build-your own meals as others have suggested are a good idea- tacos, fajitas, chili (green or red), warm hummus with assorted toppings (spiced ground beef, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, served with pita).

You have to have a talk with him about yucking your food, or any food, in front of the kids.  It really does put those ideas in their head before they have a chance to try things and see if they like them.[/quote]
