I don't get away with offering my family just anything for dinner. I would never say that my wife was particular about her food, but I might get away with saying that she has a polished palate when it comes to food (and men). My older daughter is, on the other hand, a fuzzy eater (don't know where she gets that from), while my younger daughter is like a trash can: Takes anything (don't know where she gets that from).
With a situation like that cooking is a challenge, which usually falls onto the lap of your dearly beloved fatso. But really, cooking low carb for everyone is actually less of a challenge than you might think. In my case, I only add one dish which has a lot of carbs for those who can eat carbs without ballooning.
Last night I cooked a Jamie Oliver recipe. Chicken breasts, seasoned with S&P, grated lemon peel and fresh thyme. Slicing the breasts into two thinner slices is a good idea, as it's quicker to cook them on the pan. With this I served a potato mash with butter and sweet corn, which you add after having mashed the potatoes (for me, mash with cauliflower and cilantro). On the side: Tomato and basil salad with a little bit of red wine vinaigrette and olive oil.
A walk in the park and everybody was happy (aside from the fuzzy baby, which eventually got toast with cheese).
