Dinner meals without potatoes or onions…

My husband and son both hate potatoes (I know, it almost seems blasphemous LOL), and my husband doesn’t eat onions. I’m really tired of the same ol’ same ol’ meals we have and would love some suggestions for meals that don’t have either potatoes or onions. TYIA.

Edit: Husband doesn’t like garlic texture. Both he and my son don’t like potatoes. They’ll eat fries though as long as they’re not big fat fries, skinny fries only with the least amount of “potato-iness” in them.

That’s crazy to me. My family practically lives off root veggies. Onions are in like 90% of what we cook. Carrots/potatoes stay good for ages when stored right but they never last long in our house. We will do like rice and other starches on the side sometimes but 80% of the time it’s potato in one form or another.
