Then I remarried about 6 years ago...kids are grown, but hubby is a big meat eater...so I still make separate meals..but its not as bad for 2 adults and he will eat some meatless meals...but not tofu!

Ya might try what I did with my hubby...I made some really good meatless meals that were meatless versions of food he loves..like chili...so he eats a meatless meal at least once a week, but he doesn't really miss the meat in something like chili...tacos and burritos work well, too..I can have black beans or avocado or whatever in my taco and he can still have the meat for his...and I'm not making separate meals for tacos or burritos, I am just not eating the meat.

I am one of those people that never really liked meat though, so it was no problem for me as I was used to eating differently for most of my life...I used to hide the meat in my pockets and throw it out or feed it to the neighbor's dogs..

He will never ever stop eating meat
I know all about odd hours I use to work graveyard shift jobs most of my working career in the past. Now I'm a SAHM which is one of the hardest jobs you'll ever have.

Especially when you have a 16 yr old teenager in her ish years. Yeah my Dh will never give up meat either. He is a meat and potatoes man through and through.

Thanks for all the sneaky ideas,I never thought about doing some of them before. I love the taco and burritto idea where yall could actually eat the same meal but a little different. When I'm ready at least I will have some good ideas from you thanks again.

Ditto here to, not much for meat either. Ha,Ha, that's to funny because usually it's the vegetables the kids get rid of.lol

Thanks again. c.c.
