we’re having some family over for dinner in a couple weeks and i’m having trouble trying to pull together a menu… would love some suggestions!

out of four people, one person is a vegetarian who will eat anything as long as it doesn’t have meat which is normally pretty easy to work around, but harder given that one of the folks is a very picky eater. from what i can tell, he generally doesn’t eat most fish or most pork, doesn’t eat a ton of vegetables, doesn’t like sharp cheeses, prefers food bland, dislikes most “exotic” spices. foods i’ve seen him enjoy are spaghetti and meatballs, pizza, and mashed potatoes and lightly salted chicken breast.

given all this, do folks have any suggestions? i’m having an especially hard time because i cook a lot of asian food and basically most asian spices are off the table. italian might be okay though. thanks!

    You could do an Italian red sauce, then serve Eggplant Parmesan and Chicken Parmesan. It should be the same prep for both dishes.
