Tell your family that you are not "doing dinner tonight!" It will
inspire all sorts of things. Start a tradition that you will not
regret. Do not backpeddle and cook! You eat what you want for your
condition and forget the rest of 'em.

I do this now and then. Sometimes, the thought of cooking and/or
eating is just not gonna happen. My daughter is perfectly capable of
fixing a bowl of cereal or toasting an English muffin or opening a can
of soup.

And, don't forget to tell them to clean up after themself!
