I have been living with my bf for about two months now and there are no problems except that he is always making me choose what is for dinner. It actually is a nice set-up where I pick and he cooks (I can't cook) but the problem is sometimes I just dont care or I cant think of anything I want for dinner. any suggestions? Everytime I say, "Oh I dont care, you pick..." he tells me no or refuses to decide. I'm running low on dinner ideas. what should I do?

My husband isn't quite the same way. But when I can't figure out what's for dinner and my brain's stumped, and so is his, we call "Fend For Yourself!" night. So we each make whatever we feel like. Be it a Hot Pocket or frozen pizza. We always have some junk food around when we don't feel like cooking which is about once a week. Works for us!

Head on over to foodnetwork.com or my favorite place, recipes.com. So much to choose from! For recipe ideas, punch in what you have in the fridge and wham! all the recipes you are ever going to need are at that website. Or, start asking for cook books for birthdays or Christmas, then you can pick and choose at your leisure. Myself? I would write out a week or month of "what I want for dinner" in advance. Save both of you the daily inquistion. Best of luck!

Lucky girl! Sit down and make a list of all the meals you like. Categorize them by main ingredient. Day 1, pick a chicken dish, day 2, pick a pasta, and so on... Have your answer ready when he asks. I agree, it's hard to come up w/something on the spot, and w/a little planning, you don't keep falling back on, uh, turkey burritos!

Here are a few good websites to find new ideas. If this doesn't help, try picking stuff thats really hard to make, he will get frustrated with all the work he has to put into what you pick and eventually start picking on his own. Good Luck

A bottle of wine is a superb thought. do exactly no longer %. something to pass with the Itailian dinner he has deliberate. He possibly has already in my view chosen an suitable classic for his dinner.

go online and find ideas - hey HES COOKING FOR YOU!!! revel in it and get his creative juices flowing. You can also look through cookbooks (the library has excellent ones) and find stuff you like. The world is your oyster, honey... let him do the work and you pick!

Start cooking at home, something you can both can get involved with and you can have fun. Or choose the samething over and over and eventually he wont ask you.

LOL Start telling him to make outlandish things like Beef Wellington or Crab Rangoon or something. If you want to be nice about it just get on Food Network dot com. There are 50,000 recipes on there to keep your honey busy. :)

ask for cheese and fruit platter or antipasta with wine and then talk about other combinations or meals and wine to get some of his ideas out ,talk about different countries and then about the food there then the next time he asks you can use some of his ideas without asking him what he would like

try a meal plan for the week both of you sit down and decide on what you think you will like for the week, just plan for five days and then have leftovers one day and get it yourself the other night, see how that goes
