J is going to be gone tonight and I need ideas to make dinner. He is not a fan of salmon, so maybe I'll make that? Or maybe some kind of salad-ish thing? I have enormous amounts of kale and tomatoes and also some carrots left in my garden, although I'm not married to the idea of using them tonight. Help! Share your favorites

Whenever DH isn't around for dinner I make foods that he doesn't like - so a lot of fish and mushrooms. Just last night I tried out a new fish dish and even DH liked it. I made it with the steamer trivet in the Instant Pot, but I think it would work in any steamer. I coated cod in whole grain mustard then lay on sliced onions and sliced tomatoes. In the IP I steamed it with chicken broth for 4 minutes and a quick release. We served with sliced cucumbers tossed in a vinaigrette.

When MH isn't home we have super easy stuff like cornbread and beans or frozen pizza lol. You guys are fancy. I just don't like making something only to have the kids not eat it either.

I'm embracing the fact that currently my kid will eat pretty much anything. I anticipate this is unlikely in the future, so I'm cooking what I want for as long as possible.

SERIOUS. What is with that switch that just one day out of nowhere flips and they're suddenly like "omg all food is poison!!!"
I don't get it. And the worst is when they keep telling you how much they hate it. I'm like IDGAF if you like it or if you eat it, just stop bitching about it already and pick out the part that you do like so I can pretend like you ate.

Cereal, chicken tenders, random mix of stuff from the fridge and cupboards - that's usually what we have when DH isn't home/working late.

Decided on a southwest veggie salad from Mealime for dinner, Nugget will be excited for the beans and avocado in it
