So frustrated... menu help?
DH is on a hard core low carb diet. MIL is visiting and doesn't eat red meat. Short of cooking grilled chicken for the next 3 nights, what else can I make?????
I have had it up to HERE with people who come to stay with you and then put their $0.02 in on your menu every night. It hasn't been the first time with DH's family... Uggggh.
I eat ANYTHING and EVERYTHING, so I guess I just don't "get" picky people.

Fish?
Shrimp scampi - you can make it with rice for IL's and DH can have it carb-free or on a salad.
Or, a meaty salad - chef salad.
I made a buffalo chix salad with blue cheese chunks and a hot sauce dressing.
I make a "mexican chicken" -
bit sized cooked chicken
corn
black beans
salsa
sometimes i serve it over rice but its filling enough without it.
what does you dh use to fill his "carbs"?
maybe make a mixed grill - surf & turf

Roast a whole chicken. Lots of roasted veggies on the side. Mashed potatoes for those that can.

Re: So frustrated... menu help?
that is so freaking rude!
sorry, i'm no help - i always say that when i'm the cook you get my menu, don't like it - don't come to eat!
the worst is going out to dinner - we have stopped going out with certain members of the family because of their RIDICULOUS restrictions that they complain about every restaurant and can't find ANYTHING on the menu or insist on making 1,300 changes to the options they 'settle' on.
hell, if they can't find something on a huge menu of choices nothing i'm going to make is going to satisfy or be good enough! oy!

Thank you for this! You made me feel better!! And I feel you on the restaurant thing. I cringe everytime I go out to eat with MIL. She is completely annoying about her order and then sends back EVERYTHING . 
The way I am going to start looking at it is: if they don't wanna eat it, MORE for ME!

I get the ones who can't eat this, can't eat that because it doesn't fit into their DIET. They are constantly on a diet yet never shed a POUND.
