I'm a full time working mom of three, so I know how crazy things can be.
When I cook, the whole family eats LC. I personally think it is healthier for everyone, anyway, and it is much easier for me. For example, this weekend I made Dreamfield's Rigatoni with LC meatballs (I use parm cheese as a binder instead of bread crumbs) and marinara. I calculated that dinner had 10 net carbs in a serving. The kids ate the same thing dh and I ate.
Perrty much whatever I cook for family dinner, everyone eats it. I'll often make lettuce wraps stuffed with fresh herbs, sliced raw veggies and grilled seafood. The kids eat them just like we do. Or I'll oven bake ribs and roast a whole slew of LC veggies. I just serve that to everyone.
My kids still eat carbs -- just not when I am the one making family dinners.
