How do I know if I’m a good cook?

Is that because your nachos are awesome? Which is actually hard to accomplish, tbh, or because he compliments anything you make no matter how it turns out?

He compliments everything I make no matter how it turns out. He also says thanks for making it.
He knows that if he doesn't do that, it might be the last meal I ever prepare for him.

I assume that OP is eating her own dinners as well, so she is cooking for two people. That said taste your own food. How does it compare to other food you have eaten. How does it compare to restaurant food and the food you ate growing up and food you have eaten that friends and relatives have prepared.

If OP is cooking 365 dinners a year, then they have no chance of eating anyone else’s dinner. So I would advise OP to tell her husband that he needs to cook one night or take her out to dinner.

What is DH discovers that there is better food than what OP cooks?

I get this. When I can’t get a read from DH I usually just ask how it is. Sometimes it’s “really good, thanks” and sometimes it’s “this is so good, I could eat this every night”.

Try loading up on butter, salt, and sugar to give it that "wow" fine dining factor at the minor expense of health.

“Minor expense”

Have you only been cooking for 3 years? You’re probably not a fantastic cook yet. How does the food taste to you? And start inviting people over.
