so funny that you ask! i *just* finished writing a post for tomorrow inspired by the same question (though, in all fairness, as you’ll read, my issue is not just my 6′4″ 200 lb husband). tomorrow’s recipe is for a healthier dessert that comes with a side of rice (just move the carb side from dinner to after dinner, and voila). i’m thinking that a big salad + a chunky hunk of bread (or a simply and quickly cooked chicken breast) + my filling dessert (which can be made ahead of time) = enough dinner to keep the chowpapa full and me feeling sure that i’ve made enough to satisfy even the hungriest members of my fam. take a look in the a.m. and let me know if you think a plan like this would work for you, too!
