Hubby's weight loss plan: wife should not make delicious stuff!

So DH says, well, if you want to lose weight, why do you make delicious things? My thought was - what else was I supposed to do with the strawberries I so diligently picked? Or, what else can I make besides zucchini bread with the zucchini you won't eat any other way?

BUT...

I am considering some changes including using less butter (although I have two back up friends to talk me out of this one); baking less (more for special occasions than for everyday), and learning how to make more healthful meals. Right now I go to canned soup, lunch meat sandwhiches, and peanut butter and jelly for lunch too so a lunchtime makeover is also in order. First, though, my goal is to learn 10 go-to meals for dinner that are more veggie-licious, still have good protein and healthy carbs but are just healthier. I'm starting with Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything Vegetarian. I'll be posting any recipes we try that pass the hubby test or are miserable failures. I'm also open to lunch ideas. Please share your go-to lunch menu and dinner time cookbook!
