[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH said the same thing, so I showed him how to use Pinterest. He now has a recipe board of his own and twice a week I make something off of it. What I found is that, while I struggle for new (and easy) ideas, the cooking part isn’t hard if someone tells me what to cook. I don’t even usually use the recipe itself, just the meal pairing idea.

Example: we had chili lime cod with cilantro rice and grilled corn the other night. The fish cooked in the oven in 12 minutes. Rice was in the instant pot and cooked and depressurized in about 12 minutes. Corn on the grill was about 10 minutes. With prep and final assembly, dinner was done in less than 30 minutes. No longer than any of our typical meals, but not something that just came to me. [/quote]

The pronoun above is wrong. It says “now twice a week I make something off of it.” It should say now “he makes something off of it. And it should say 3/4 times a week, not “twice.” But baby steps.[/quote]

Np. I don't think there's anything wrong with division of duties. I did all the cooking but dh does all the laundry.

I'm also not opposed to what pp described. I would be bummed out if my dh was unhappy all the time with dinner (just like I'm sure he'd be bummed out if he kept shrinking my shirts or something).

It's all in approach. Go up to a mom with a 2 yr old and a 6mn old and say you think dinner is boring. Or go up to that mom and say, "hey I found some recipes online I think look good, any way we can work them into the lineup?" One is good one is bad.

Also depends how helpful he is generally.
