I don't know if this should go here, gardening, or elsewhere [View all]

But I'm trying to get more veg on the plate every night. I believe things are going to get tight, and I want to get options for food that DH will actually eat before we have no other choices. We're not going vegetarian, but 25% protein (meat, usually), 25% whole (ideally) grain and 50% veg is historically healthy and cheap. (Suck it, Brain Worm Bobby.)

He doesn't like it and usually won't eat it. I'm afraid before long he won't have a choice if he wants to be not actually hungry.

Tonight was Quiche Lorraine (bacon, onion and swiss), brussel sprouts, green beans, and a raspberry cream tart. I'll be eating half of his tomorrow for breakfast.

Meanwhile, my seedlings for the Victory Garden are coming up.

Things are changing. If he won't change with them, I don't know what else I can do.
