You do know this is a completely out of touch suggestion, right?

What about burger salads? Tex Mex at home? Meatloaf with orzo and roasted veggies? Roasted chicken (season it LIBERALLY- there is so much out there that isn’t salt), sweet potatoes, and sautéed spinach.

Ok. As I type this out…y’all definitely have a relationship problem.

Well that's your problem. You aren't a good cook, and would rather eat something that tastes like garbage than delicious. No wonder no one likes your food!

I think it would be unreasonable to expect someone to eat food that they a) hate and b) is acknowledged that isn't very tasty. If my DH was a terrible cook and insisted on making things I didn't like, I'd probably opt out as well. There is a huge amount of compromise available here. Can you guys pick out recipes and cook together? I like pps ideas of making similar things at home, like chipotle bowls or thai food. Maybe he can help make the meal plan. It doesn't sound like you're working, so it's falling on you, but there is no point in buying all this expensive protein and veggies if no one eats it, it goes to waste, and he ends up getting take out anyways.

The obvious solution here is to learn how to cook. Healthy food should taste delicious too.

I wouldn’t want to eat bland food “for sustenance” either. I cook very healthy but also with a lot of flavor, so everyone eats it happily. [b] It isn’t hard.

It may not be hard for you but, please don't speak for everyone! If it was easy to cook healthy and delicious foods that everyone would be doing it, right? If op's dh hates her food the answer is it is now his job to cook the dinner.

She should definitely learn to cook but if his taste buds are acclimated to fast food he's not going to love what she makes. Of course that's his problem.
I made a great dinner last night of minestrone, homemade garlic bread and vegetable baked ziti and my husband says "This is good but I'd really like if this had sausage." Meh

Why can't the person with the problem learn how to cook?
