No real food rules here. My sister in law has a rule that you can't have two starches in a meal.
We used to only have soups in the winter and pasta salad only in summer, etc. but we realized we were missing out on some of our favorites by limiting it. Now we eat whatever sounds good when it sounds good. We only made jambalaya for Mardi Gras before and now I make it a few times a year... we used to only eat Reubens for St. Patrick's Day but our family loves them so we eat them about once a month. My husband begged me to make potato soup over the summer and the kids wanted chili. Done.
My son is picky. He either eats what I fix or he makes his own food. If I can modify ours slightly to accommodate him, I will. For example, he hates ham but likes turkey breast. When I make funeral sliders, I make his with turkey, ours with ham.
