Good Dinner Vs. Bad Dinner

Why is it that when I make a "bad" dinner, it gets gobbled down with no leftovers, but if a make a "good" dinner I have lots of leftovers?

By "bad" I mean not especially healthy. Last night was a quick meal of ham steak, mac n' cheese, and broccoli. I don't consider ham a healthy meat and the mac n' cheese was the box kind. The broccoli however was fresh and steamed in the microwave. The broccoli saved the meal I guess. Man and Relative ate everything last night-all the ham and every noodle of the m n' c was gone! I had m n' c, a tiny piece of ham, and a lot of broccoli. I only had the ham because I dip it in horseradish and I love horseradish. I also have to admit that I love Kraft m n' c!!! When I was a fat child, I could eat a WHOLE BOX! My family let me do that-damn them!! I love fresh steamed broccoli, it tastes so much better than frozen. So over all I rated this a "bad" meal due to the ham and m n' c.

Now a "good" meal-lots of veggies and a lean protein-always has leftovers. I get excited that I am giving Man and Relative a good healthy meal. I try to use spices to get lots of flavor, but they never gobble it up. I always have left overs! Should I cook smaller portions or reheat the leftovers night after night until their gone? They would rather pig out on m n' c! Where have all the health conscious people gone?? Please come to my home and I will feed you vegetables!

Not you could argue that I should only cook healthy every night, but really it takes to long to cook healthy every night. All the chopping of the veggies and the dishes!! Plus sometimes, don't we all just want some Kraft Macaroni and Cheese??
