His idea of veg is corn and potato, which is what we usually get if he cooks. Salads would be so much more practical at the moment, but I've never been much of a fan. Having a list of favourite dinners makes meals and shopping so much easier, I've got one too, but it's really outdated so I haven't used it in a long while.

Reminds me how I must get back to menu planning since my girls are on school holidays already. We usually have one non-meat meal, two chicken (usually breast fillets) one tuna or salmon, two red meat, one pasta based or home made pizza (uses up last of veg)or fried rice. I like the recipe you have linked for your tuna patties. I don't usually sneak veg into mine but it sounds interesting. My girls eat veg without complaint, it's my DH who needs convincing! I have written up lists of foods we usually like under the categories i.e. red meat, chicken fillet etc then I choose from them using other ingredients etc that I have available or will buy to complete the menu plan. I notice that you too choose veg even in the summer weather. Sometimes we change our mind and make a couple of quick salads but usually they love hot veg the year around here.
