If you serve a green veggie every day, do you get a moan from DH when he is asked his preference?

Green veggies are a powerhouse of vitamins and minerals.  Often, nature shows us what is good for us.  Look at bright colors of berries which are powerful antioxidants.

No.  Veggies do come in different colors..

I serve vegetables every night. My husband likes salad the best. I try to make two options since we don't each a lot of startchy foods anymore.

@ECBG Fortunately, both my Significant Other and I like vegetables so there is no problem having them as part of the main meal.

Spinach, green beans, peas, escarole, broccoli, cabbage, and others often grace our board.

Tomorrow's dinner will probably be ham, cabbage, onions, rutabagas, and potatoes.

Great!  I don't serve a lot of starchy vegetables.  Since DH's metabolism is higher than mine, I'm doing two balanced diets.

My mother was OCD about serving balanced meals .... and I inherited it!

Always a salad and/or green vegetables.

I try to serve vegetables at every meal, even breakfast.

We eat several varieties everyday, except my DH does not eat peas.

@Carmie , just wondering how you fit the veggies in with breakfast. I'm always looking for ideas-

I make a salad every night. I always have at least 1 additional vegetable side dish, but more often than not, I'll make 2 different vegetable sides.

DH doesn't complain. And I'm not sure if he realizes that over time, his dinner salad becomes larger and the size of his meat/entree portion gets smaller.

I have a salad almost every day with lunch or dinner . We are a veggie loving family.
