[quote=Anonymous]I think you have a marriage problem, not a food problem, OP. I get it because we are in a similar situation. My DH cannot cook, literally ate out every meal before he met me; I was a vegetarian for a long time, love to cook and bake everything. We have three boys. Our way to deal with this is that we eat healthy on weekdays (home cooked dinner, pack lunch for school, no restaurants, no desserts) but we eat whatever we want on the weekends.

DH has yearly blood work and his cholesterol has dropped MAJORLY since we got married. We get our yearly blood work done at the same and compete. :)

But I’ll add one more thing, my DH has very good manners. Whatever I make, everyone eats with very limited modifications. (5 year old DS doesn’t like food touching, or 3 year old DS might get some blueberries added to his dinner) Our family rule is that I prepare the dinner and everyone can eat however much they want with no comment. So if DS5 only eats the rice, whatever. If DS3 picks out all the chicken, okay. My DH always models politeness to the boys by saying thank you for cooking, etc. I have one memory of one kid making a fuss about not liking something and DH made him leave the table and apologize upon return.
