[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I’m dying, OP. A few months ago my husband told me he wanted to transition to a more plant-based diet. Awesome, I said. I do 100% of the cooking - I LOVE to cook and I LOVE vegetables. Turns out I am a little more enthusiastic about eating all vegetables than he is… sigh.

I grew up in a rich agricultural area that produces a lot of the nation’s food, and grew up in a home that cared a lot about food good and cooking, so I grew up with constant access to excellent ingredients, farmer’s markets, new and interesting ideas, chefs… and I just grew and experimented from there.

My favorite things are grapefruit, fresh peaches, snap peas, great summer tomatoes, leafy greens, and winter squash. We belong to a year-round farm share now, so I try to cook with as many local and seasonal ingredients as possible.

What are your favorite things to cook? What cookbooks or blogs do you always come back to? [/quote]

OP here. LOL! So, you grew up eating fruit and veg the way it is supposed to taste, ripe and awesome, sounds great. 
Something similar happened to me with DH, when we were young and just this past summer. When we first married, I made green beans for dinner. The meal was a ton of cooked green beans with onions and tomato sauce. DH said he loved it. So, I kept cooking it and must’ve cooked it 40 times in 4 months. DH says, “maybe we can try something else now?” I was, “you don’t like them?” He said, not I do, but can we try something else. So, I said, I’ve been cooking them so much since I thought you liked them, and I was getting tired of green beans too. So, I started cooking peas![/quote]
