DH claims he is not picky, but he really is. He hates anything from a slow cooker. He hates casseroles. Doesn't like baked dishes including chicken. Doesn't like ingredients to come from a can (gives him horrible heartburn), so ingredients are fresh or frozen. Because he gets home so late (10:30) and often doesn't get a chance to eat during the day, I like to have his meal be substantial. I've been trying out new recipes for MONTHS in an attempt to figure out a 2 week, non-repeating, meal plan. So far I have 6 solid meals, and another 2 that are maybe once a month as they are fried.
Here are the solid 6:
Stir fry (beef or chicken)
Meatloaf
Lasagna
Spaghetti bake
Tacos
Cajun chicken pasta (a-la Pioneer Woman)
The 2 once-a-month (if that) rotations are fried chicken or pork chops. We're from the south, and we love fried anything, but I really try not to have this too often. Sometimes we go longer than a month, unless he requests it.
Staples in the house are chicken, flat iron steak, and ground beef. We eat a lot of fish in the summer, but I usually leave that for him to make as I am clueless about fish. I suppose I could make something like a pot roast, but I'll have to find a unique way to make it as he hates those too. Ugh. Do you have any meal ideas to help me expand our menu? Please?
