Not surprised about your SIL's love of french fries.  They're a load of starch (sugar), fat, and salt.  Essentially, ffs are just about a stick of lard, although, I like them too.

I do oven fries with fresh potatoes (but, not recently with the WW).  Without all the fat, the flavor of the potato comes through.  Very good.

Always.  Lots of veggies at out house.

@ECBG - We usually have a vegetable with our dinners. Will even cut tomatoes into chunks and sprinkle with olive oil, salt & pepper, and add chopped basil to them.

ETA: Another thing I do to get vegetables in our diet, is to slice peeled cucumbers and just add salt & pepper.

99% of the time.  I normally have a small salad (Romaine w/ some Kale added) every night but also have green beans or raw veggies sometimes too.

About the only time I don't is when there is Pizza, Vegetable Soup or Beef Stew.

We most likely have some sort of vegetable, or salad every evening with Dinner....We love veggies, so not a problem for us.

Oh my goodness!!!  Now I'm hungry!  That will be wonderful when summer tomatoes come in!  A little Parmesian cheese would be good with that!!!

No, DH only accepts peas corn and green beans without complaint.  I have a giant spinach salad every morning for breakfast for my warfarin regimen, so I'm being taken care of even if he chooses not to be.

Honestly, I wish I could enjoy them, but I can't.....nothing green.

No problem in the summertime with farmers markets ,nice produce in stores, and my own 'yarden' efforts. Always more than one. It is more challenging in this dark, dreary, and cold time of year. My inner Pillsbury dough boy often wins with carb comfort foods = casseroles, noodles , rice, biscuits, roles, gravy etc. I yell at him my waistbands are getting snug !  he answers -- yeah but you sleep well .

I do at least have some canned or frozen green beans, broccoli, or such. Also I at least for myself try to have on hand the pre-packaged salads from grocery store that are just around $3. That way I do not find rotted lettuce in my crisper drawer .
