My husband and I both cook, as the spirit moves us, and we both try to
eat a lot of vegetables and limit carbs, especially refined carbs
(rice, pasta, etc.) We find that limiting carbs helps with weight
loss/weight maintainance. He sometimes makes pasta for himself only.
For guests, we cook what we think they would enjoy and I just eat what
I feel okay about eating of it.

i bet its nice at your house at dinner time, Lee

ahh, yes, the diet wars at home

well............ hubby has figured out what the 'free veggies' are and
what foods i limit

personally, Kraft Dinner is NOT my carb choice favourite, but i have a
couple tablespoons of it

i focus on the 'free veggies' and teenlet focuses on the carbs

hubby and i are both old enough that 'portion control' is an issue
lol
