I am more than willing to help the guy cook more appealing meals. Anyone else willing to help him out?

I'm in.

Ok so now we need to get him to move this to recipes so the other wonder cooks here can help out too.

Seriously.

And even if all one has is a hot plate or just a rice cooker, delicious, healthy meals can be had!

I'm sure your a good cook, some people are just picky. I would say crock pot or oven meals would be the best bet. Roast (make sure it's the chuck roast, they are much juicer and more tender), potatoes, onions and carrots. That would make enough for 3 or 4 meals. I like using those small bowls with the screw on lids for freezing meal sized leftovers.

I have big eaters, so our monthly bill is outrageous at almost $1000 per month. My husband and 2 of my kids eat from the time they wake up until the time they go to bed. My husband will eat at least 4 full course meals a day, sometimes more. They have high metabolism's, I would weigh 700 pounds!

We also get a sirloin tip roast, cut it into bite sizes, fry it in the skillet and then add onion, mushrooms and bell peppers. That is some good stuff! (My husband cooks this dish) It's kind of my special treat from him.

You can also get the cheapest steak, the thin kind, slice it into small pieces and add fried rice. It's really good and cheap!

We love potato soup, and I have an awesome recipe from my granny. Little bit of cheese and hot sauce added and I will eat until I blow up

Around my house, you eat what I serve, a bowl of cereal or starve. We also love fried bologna or spam. The smoked spam is really good.

We need to start with a list of the stuff his gal doesn't like and go from there.







I have a kitten trying to eat my opal necklace.

What does she eat when she goes out? Start there and you can google any recipe for anything. You can even get copycat recipes of restaurant's specialties. Always worth a try. The biggest savings, in my opinion, comes from eating at home.

Deb, I was just thinking that to myself!

I think it's easier to start with what she likes...the "don't like" list could be long wading.

I have a kitty drooling all over cuz he's a lover boy & sooo needy, lol.

I'm wondering the same thing.. I don't see where food is more expensive here then any other state especially in the south. Florida & Mississippi to name a couple. Been to each in the past couple of months at bought groceries at Wal-Mart. Plus our seafood is cheaper than most any place. I hate to say this but why worry about someone that is so picky that they won't eat your cooking?? I'd make them cook their own meals!! But hey that's just me!!
