[quote=Anonymous]A previous job I had for 2.5 years I was a house manager/nanny and cooked dinner for a family of 5, 5 nights a week.

Meals they loved:

Chicken cattitorie served over egg noodles 
Fajitas or tacos
Baked ziti with homemade meatballs
Breaded pork chops, couscous, and a green veg
Crock pot ham and pineapple, mashed potatoes, green veg
Pork tenderloin, baked sweet potato, green veg
Stir fry (tons of veggies with a protein)
Baked salmon with teriyaki marinade, rice, and green veg
Breakfast for dinner (omelettes, home-fries, turkey bacon)
Egg salad and/or Tuna fish served with pan fried pierogies
5 bean chili served with brown or white rice 
Shepards pie served with a nice big salad
Gourmet grilled cheeses (Brie and a fruit compote) served with homemade tomato bisque)
Sweet and sour meatballs with white rice and green veg
Homemade lasagna (veg or meat) and Caesar salad
Roaster chicken, roasted red bliss potatoes and green veg

Those are just some of the meals I would cook for them. I would change the rotation every 2 weeks to keep things new and interesting.

I always made a green vegetable with dinner. The only exception was if I made a giant salad.

Vegetable side ideas:

Roasted Brussels sprouts
Roasted asparagus
Roasted broccoli
Steamed artichokes 
Edamame
Green beans with toasted almonds 
Steamed sugar snap peas 
Candied carrots (carrots reduced in brown sugar and butter)
Steamed broccoli and cauliflower 
Steamed spinach
Sautéed spinach with garlic and EVOO
Sautéed mushrooms, onions and peppers 
Peas

Legume/Starch/Carb sides:

Rice 
Couscous 
Quinoa
Sweet potatoes 
Baked potatoes
Mashed potatoes
Roasted red bliss potatoes 
Corn on the cob
Black beans
Refried beans 
Garlic bread
Homemade crescents 
Homemade biscuits

Hope this helps.
