[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband and I want to start a family so we are very focused on saving money. We used to both work very long hours out of the home and eat out for lunch and dinner. I accepted a new job and now work very close to home. I make a couple of really good dishes he likes but he is the pickier eater. I’ve made some recent recipes I’ve loved but he didn’t like. I want to make them again but I know my husband won’t eat them.

Do you cook meals your spouse won’t eat? If you do, how well does that go for you guys? Is it reasonable to cook meals I like but he doesn’t like? [/quote]

If it is just the two of us, no. But I will make it for myself. Same with him. He loves a couple of things I hate. I will just make something else for me. We both take leftovers in for lunch the next day so food doesn't get wasted.

After our kids were born; yes; these things ended up in rotation because we are cooking for a family and we need a variety of healthy foods for our kids. And it has been a great palate expander for young kids. We each just suck it up for the evening when it's something we don't care for.

I do try to make sure there is something on the table we each like. He dislikes food made with turmeric for example but will eat the rice and veggies and add his own sauce free protein.  I don't like one dish (from his home country) and I will just grill a few chicken breasts to add to the dinner menu.  The kids generally eat his dishes. I do a veggie everyone likes and might add a salad for me. Nobody else likes salad.

So. We end up each cooking more to ensure there is something we all like on the table. Neither is opposed to leftovers and food doesn't go to waste. Kids don't often eat leftovers and that's an issue. So we can prepare portions to try to match. [/quote]
