[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No matter if they’re eaten earlier or later, or with one family member at the table or everyone, I still try to make “nice” meals every day. They may not be fancy on busy days, just a soup on the stove, or a hefty salad that sits in the fridge for everyone to help themselves.

I consult the family and the calendar, make a plan for the week and shop for the ingredients over the weekend. Then whoever has the lighter schedule on a given day does the cooking.

I try to keep all that in mind as I plan, especially everyone’s cooking strengths and individual schedules. So if I have to be somewhere on Tuesday, we’ll have something DH enjoys cooking. If everyone is busy, it will be something that can be prepped the night before, or a crockpot meal. [/quote]

My family would not eat a salad from the fridge and consider that dinner. [/quote]

Dp- then you are making your salads wrong. A good salad presents the same ingredients as a good plated meal, just in a different form.

Our salads typically are - grilled chicken, mixed greens with extra baby spinach, avocado, shredded broccoli, shredded carrots, sliced almonds or seeds, craisins, tomatoes and cucumbers. Often with a boiled egg white and amazing bread.

Like PP, that sounds awesome for me but my kids wouldn’t eat it.  Two of the three kids love veggies but only roasted or sautéed, not uncooked like in a salad.  The other won’t eat salad greens with any protein, cheese, egg on it.  None of them will eat cold grilled chicken so that would have to be heated up separately.  So unfortunately a meal like this wouldn’t work for them.[/quote]
