[quote=Anonymous]I think you're being too critical and over-sensitive. I thought you were gonna say he refused to eat your food or didn't like it.

He's eating it!

He's just adding additional things. That wouldn't bother me in the slightest and I, like you, really like to cook and take pride in cooking.

My DH prefers simple tastes (boiled frozen veggies and plain chicken and non spicy food at all times). I like lots of fresh foods, lots of sauces, and lots of flavor. My DH will totally eat 90% of my food, but if I put out 6 condiments for, say, Tinga tacos, he'll take cheese, lettuce, cilantro, and pico, whereas I'll add hot sauce and chipotle sour cream. If I roast veggies he'll eat potatoes and carrots and leave the tomatoes  (to intense!) brussels sprouts (eww, too vinegary and gross veggie) to me.

If your DH is using lasagna as a seasoning but otherwise eating your food, that's hilarious, not irksome.

Maybe your "California style" foods are too light and too flavorless for him? And yes, I know veggies can "shine" on their own and have a flavor, but TBH, as much as I like fresh veggies, I would not go for this. [/quote]
