That’s part of my situation.
@Teej, and why Chilli Con Carbe works so well.
I make it vegetarian.
Then I cook some mince on its own with onion and stock cube. They who want can add it to the sauce on their own plate.
The brown rice is a whole food. It goes on the table separately, as does a bowl of cheese and corn chips for anyone who wants to layer those into Nachos and microwave for a minute or two to melt the cheese.
Guacamole and sour cream in separate bowls are another add-if-you-want-to-to-your-own-plate.
A plate of salad stuff and bottle of dressing complete the picture.
Many of our meals are served “deconstructed” since the kids reached teenage years and began to self-determine what they wanted to eat. I taught them balance. It’s up to them how they apply it now.
