Something Else?

Question

My husband and I are sick of everything we eat. When asked what he wants for dinner the answer is something else. Pleas advise

Answer 1

Below is the link to my recipezaar page. All the recipes on there are pretty easy to make and don't cost a fortune. They're all perfect for what to have when NOTHING sounds good and you're tired of the same old thing. (Well, the chocolate chip cookies and fruit cake probably aren't such a great choice for dinner, but everything else is!) If you have the time (and don't mind the extra fat and calories, I suggest trying the mac and cheese. Seriously--the best I've ever had. :) Good luck, and I hope this helps.

I've been there. What I did was order this magazine: http://www.bestsimplerecipes.com - it's cheap and has a bunch of ideas.. Then I started browsing allrecipes.com and came up with a list of things I wanted to try. Be sure to read the reviews and see how ppl have changed the recipe though.

I hate being in that rut. I'm there now and have nothing but 5 lbs of chicken in my fridge, I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it... maybe:

chicken breast on the Foreman / with this sauce: 1/4 c brown sugar, 1 sliced onion, saute together until carmalized, spoon onto chicken and top with 2 small pieces of bacon!!!

Serve either alone or with buns, ranch dressing, lettuce & tomato

Answer 4

What I do when my husband gets like that is grab a cookbook or cooking magazine I haven't read in a while and just thumb through it for ideas. Or I think of something we have and need to use up and plug it into epicurious.com for ideas. Or maybe even try a different cuisine.

Cooking for a guy can be so hard!

Answer 5

When you go out to eat, what do you eat? Italian, Chinese, Indian, Thai?? When you figure that out then buy a cook book for that type of cooking and try a different recipe each night!

Or recipe books by Jamie Oliver and Nigella Lawson are always very imaginative and inspired.

Answer 6

Make him breakfast for dinner! Every so often I'll make a traditional breakfast like pancakes and sausages, or eggs, bacon, hashbrowns and toast, for dinner. It's different and really hits the spot once in a while for an unexpected treat!

Answer 7

What do you eat now that has you bored and what are you willing to try? Go to a local restaurant that you've never been to before to find some inspiration. That may help, look on line to expand on you've tried and try something. new. Good luck!

Answer 9

I know that feeling. It's hard to suggest something else when we don't know what your every day meals are like, so try www.bbc.co.uk/food and try the recipe search, or try Delia Smith's website, just type that into google and you'll find it.

Answer 10

I would say to start watching the food network and get ideas of what you see that you might like to try. I know thats how I get ideas for new dishes.
