Healthy meals for a larger (adult) family?

[fara]

My in-laws have moved in with us. They will eat pretty much anything I make except:
one eats no red meat so we sub things for him
one eats no green vegetables (medication) so we leave at least one dish green-free
They all would just eat mostly meat if I made no effort. However I work and would like to teach/get some help from mil.
Here is a sample of a big hit from last night: chicken legs with prunes and carrots served with quinoa, roasted brussels and swiss chard.
Bil is good with the grill which I would like to take advantage of.
Thanks!

Is your "no greens" guy on coumadin? This website has great ideas for coumadin-safe cooking, with recipes and tips... even for coumadin safe salds; http://www.drgourmet.com/warfarin/salad.shtml or vegetarian entrees: http://www.drgourmet.com/warfarin/veg...

just a few ideas...

chicken cacciatore - go light on oil, use breast or dark meat as preferred; serve over whole wheat pasta, or brown rice or shredded roasted veggies like cauliflower

ratatouille - avoid green veggies; add feta cheese or ricotta cheese or roasted chicken for protein

chili - light on beans, lean ground meat combined with some TVP (textured vegetable protein) to add protein and texture without fat

eggplant parmesan - go light on cheeses and layer in thinly sliced tofu for protein

spiced lentils - cooked with onion, garlic, diced carrots, cumin, coriander, and served over brown rice

chicken enchiladas - with light cheese but filling bulked with diced or shredded veggies of choice (carrots, yellow squash, mushrooms, etc)

fish? salmon croquettes served as croutons in creamy cauliflower soup (creamless)

mezze platter - hummus, whole wheat pita, baba ghanoush, kebabs

seared scallops with a lemon tarragon caper sauce

stuffed regular or sweet potatoes

broiled blackened fish

frittatas - use mostly whites with a yolk; i like almond milk to add a nice creamy richness without fat/calories, veggies as desired

hope something there helps...

Lots of Luck! As a meat substitute try tofu and quinoa, unless pork is not considered as red meat by the no red meat eater and you don't keep Kosher. Orange, red and white vegetables like carrots, sweet potatoes, beets, parsnips, rutabagas, and red bell peppers may work.
