I am a pretty good cook, but I cant get my husband to eat it! Hes so picky, like I cant put meat in my spaghetti or I cant make hamburger helper and I have to pick meat off the bone for him. I mean hes not a vegetarian or anything, he eats burgers and stuff. I love rice and I cant make that either. Its so frustrating!!! Its kind of like I dont feel appreciated. What can I do?

i too am not a veggie eatter. and i dont like fruits. i never have liked them . i am a meat and potatoes man.
dont excpect to change him . i refused to eat fruits even as a baby . the doctor told my mom that some children would refuse to eat some foods if there were allergic to them. well one day a few years back my friend gave me a candy with some fruits in it and i had this in my mouth for only a second or two and spit it out. this nearly killed me such an asthma attack so fast if i didnt live very near the hosp. i would have been dead i am sure. i have had severe asthma all my life but this was about the fastest asthma came on for me and it really did nearly kill me
i suggest you go through the cook books with him from time to time picture ones. show him some foods you would be happy with the ones that show a entire meal and see if you can get him to say ok i will try that but i dont want this x on it . other then that make meals you like to just make sure to feed him too . so if you make a salad make a one person one and give him a pork chop that sort of thing.
if this is the only troubles you have then your doing well .
i can tell your really trying to be a great wife and cook and i think you should let hubby know that too.

Hamburger Helper and Spaghetti are all right maybe once a month, I personally don't enjoy pre- mixed foods. Learn how to cook, you can make fried rice, cook Asian foods, rice with shrimp etc. You can get great recipes on the Internet. Ask him what he likes and talk to his mother and get some recipes he enjoyed as a child. Good Luck.

if you consider yourself a good cook then why do you cook hamburger helper...yuk... Go take a professional cooking course... I was blessed to be surrounded by good/gourmet cooks growing up and getting in the kitchen at an early age and being taught by them... my husband will not eat out or any others cooking due to the fact i can turn out gourmet food and i know what he likes..........how he likes it.... even people i work with love to eat my cooking. just proud that i was blessed to have been around awesome cooks.. most women do not know how to cook any more nor do they want too.

That's kind of ridiculous. It sounds like he's just taking advantage of your kindness and seeing what he can get you to do for him. I would cook him some food that you both like and maybe cook yourself some food that you like. If he chooses not to eat it, that's his own problem. I wouldn't pick the meat off for him. He should go out to eat if he doesn't appreciate the work you already put in for him.

This is what you do, the next time you cook dinner and he doesn't want to eat it you open the door closest to the kitchen, tell him to make his own food and throw it all out the door (outside) pots and all. I guarantee you he will eat the food from then on! It works for me every time. Im not crazy i just found a way to get a picky man to eat 9 times out of ten they do not want to cook there own food, they are going to eat it.

cook the things he likes and make him pick his own meat off the bone! and if you like meat in the spaghetti, make it on the side and add it to your plate. do the same with the rice. make it as a side dish for you. it's too bad he doesn't appreciate your talents in the kitchen, because they sound great to a lot of guys!

Honey, if he won't eat the food you cook, tell him to cook for himself. Don't make his plate, don't pick the freaking meat off his bones. When you spoil men like this, they will always continue to want more and want YOU to do more. He is a big boy. Eat, or cook his own food.

I raised my children that when I cook supper, if they didn't like it they could go to bed hungry. They broadened their tastebuds!!The same would apply to my husband. I can see not cooking something that you know he doesn't like but picking the meat off the bone for him, etc, come on, You are spoiling him to expect meals to be catered to him. Explain that this is not a buffet, he's not a child and you are not his mother!! I'd probably skip a meal or so just to remind him to appreciate your efforts!! But I'm sorta rebellious in that way.

Even though every person had a right to their own taste in food, once married, they have to understand that everything in the relationship is negotiable. Tell him that you are willing to prepare some of the dishes he likes, some of the time. The other times he will have to eat what is on the table or not eat at all. You do not run a restaurant!
