I love adding new grains and veggies to my existing cache of recipes. Jason would be happy if I added sausage to everything. So in our house, it's:

So how do those of you in a similar situation make it work? How do you have happy meal times where both parties are happy? I tried to sneak zucchini into our spaghetti with meatballs and sausage the other night. That resulted in a happy me and a pile of zucchini on my husband's plate. I'm running out of ideas. My garden is in full bloom, so it's easier to convince him that we HAVE to eat salad as our side dish or the lettuce/radishes would go to waste, but I'm struggling.
Making two separate entrees is not an option because our food budget is already too high in my opinion - particularly when we factor in that we don't always feed Weasel what we're eating (i.e. if we eat a spicy meal, she gets something different). So I'm open to ideas...

Not sure if my comment worked?
But I will be back if WE ever find answers ;-)
Ha! Same in our house too, except its bacon! What I do is cook up bacon and put it in the fridge. The hubs adds it to my vege pizzas,salads etc.
Interesting dilemma. Sometimes we eat 2 different meals completely...
I wonder if you could suggest a weekend meal for your husband to make, or if you could add a side dish of veggies/salad to his meal and just eat less of what he makes?
I do all the cooking, but my husband is the same way about meat. I just eat a salad with every meal and a smaller portion or none of the meat part of the meal. Or I'll do something like stuffed peppers where he gets mostly meat stuffed in his and mine has meat + lots of veggies or meat + beans. Or for something like spaghetti, he gets a mostly meat sauce and I add veggies to mine after I dish his.
