Cooking for Six: The Ultimate Food Puzzle

Every night feels like a culinary episode of Survivor in my kitchen. I’m cooking for six, each with their own food quirks: one hates red sauce and ketchup, another can’t stand mayo or tomatoes, a third avoids beef (except for tacos and burgers) and despises leftovers, while others can’t handle seafood, spicy, or crunchy foods. Vegetables? For some, only if hidden. My go-to meals—chicken cutlets, burgers, tacos, pasta—are wearing thin, and Person 3 is starting to revolt against repeats. I’m not a chef, just a tired home cook with limited mobility, desperately searching for new dinner ideas that won’t trigger someone’s aversion or require hours on my feet. How do you keep everyone happy at the table without losing your mind or spending all day cooking? Any hacks or simple recipes for picky, diverse eaters? I’d love to hear what works for your family! #FamilyMeals #PickyEaters #DinnerStruggles #MealPlanning #CookingTips #Food
