Hubby might be coming around to my FTS way of thinking.....

Today I put a beef roast in the slow cooker to have for supper tonight.
I was going to make some potatoes for my hubby to have with it and I suggested the cauli mash.  He was up for the idea and even helped me make it!
It was yummy, its going to be a staple from now on and my hubby even thought it tasted like mashed potatoes - I don't think his kids would be that convinced though!  Won't be making it on their visits I don't think!
Slowly but surely, I'm breaking through.......

Great news! So much easier and more fun to do it together.

[toddy44]

I agree.  I think he's finally seeing that I am more committed to this than I have been on any other "programme". 

Now if I could just get him to give up chocolates......lucky I don't care that much about sweet stuff eh?

Has he tried any of the sugar free chocolates?  Hershey makes some good ones and so does Dove.  They are expensive though which tends to keep me from eating too much.

LOL Paula, I wouldn't even try offering them to him.
He is a 100% addict, believe me, tonight was a HUGE step!

My way of thinking is simple...it comes from my Dad's comment over the years, "Your mother isn't running a restaurant here..what's fro supper IS for supper" I follow the same rules in my home, I cook what I cook and serve it, if they don't like it they can go out to eat  You'd be surprised how many guests are shocked at how much they enjoy what's on the table....case in point. Yesterday my uncle and aunt came to visit, both in their late 70's, neither have strayed away from the typical meat and taters menu their who lives...well guess what, I served jicama potato salad with the BBQ...loved it, I served jicama hash browns with the steak and eggs....loved it, I served cauli mash with the smoked turkey breast...loved it and sugar free home made peanut butter ice cream for dessert...another hit!

Cook it...serve it....they WILL eat it 

[toddy44]

LOL Amen

And Gary - enough of the Old Lady!
