fattartsrock - I have to laugh at you saying you have plain boring meals because your hubby has a limited palette - if I served the majority of those dinners in our house, DH would be cooking noodles for himself every night  How do you do your pork meatballs though??? |
lol what i mean is we have meat and veg most nights and not exciting ones. Although they are home grown, so taste good.
Mainly its carrots, peas, beans corn. And not mixed either, DH hates mixed vege. Roasted we have spud, pumpkin kumera and parsnip. I like to rast the veges after they have been lightly cooked then tossed in a bit of garlic rice bran oil or oil and garlic and a bit of rast vege sprinke for flavour. DH hates this and prefers just roasted in an inch of oil.
His fave meals are my least fave. Carrseroles and roast and would have them every night. My one concesison is the roast beef I described in my original post.
He won't eat anything "tomatoey" or "different" (ie chorizo, sushi, stuffed chicken breast etc) and that rules out mince and pasta bake or my fave lasagne, pasta and tomato and basil and chorizo.
Pork meat balls? I buy 'em pre made at the butcher! pork mince, onion, spices and pineapple. Can get them in pattie form, which I cook in the griller and have plum sauce on (not dh tho) or as meatballs which I cook in a frying pan slowly to brown then cover in sweet and sour sauce and simmer. Although DH hates sweet and sour, so hardly ever do that.
Other than that is cops and veg, sos and veg (although I only buy nice sos at the butcher) patties/rissoles/meatballs and veg. Lamb curry or ragan josh and rice (having that tonight) and steak and chips (once a week, lol) same ol' same ol' week in week bloody out!
What does your DH eat, Kate? sounds stressfull!!!!

Mmm those pork meatballs sound good, I might have a go at making some. Never thought to put pineapple IN them!
My DH wasn't a very adventurous eater when we first met (7 years ago). I just keep serving up stuff I like - and if he doesn't like it that's too bad! He's been loads better since we moved to Asia, he always liked asian food and has been game to try anything since we lived in Hong Kong .. Singapore seems really tame now LOL.

Ohhh all those veges!! DH will eat potatoes, mixed veg (only the peas, carrots & corn one though, and I have to make sure he gets very little corn), mushrooms, cauliflower (provided it's in white sauce - not cheese sauce!!) and boiled cabbage. Nothing spicy at all, or too much garlic. He loves the whole casserole/stew thing and roasts - but only with roast potatoes and mixed veges for a roast, and mushrooms, carrots and potatoes in the casserole. Add to the mix that I am lactose intolerant and he hates melted cheese with a vengeance, we have a limited choice!!! He hates sweet and sour or anything like that - he's very old fashioned in his tastes. Meat and three veges and he's satisfied.
For example, this week we have had...sausages with mashed potato and peas, shepherds pie with beans on the side, they had roast chicken pieces with roast tatoes and mixed veges on Wednesday, and last night was mince with mashed spuds. Not sure what tonight will be. Usually it's toasted sandwiches on a Friday - bacon and egg only.
I can't put any flavouring on roasts or the veges. If I cook up some extra veges like kumara or yams for me, he'll say he can taste them in the other veges, so now I cook them in a separate dish  LOL He doesn't mind tomato based dishes though, which is very good!! I don't really like cooking, so the simpler the better. His favourite meal (which I get heartily sick of) is steak, eggs and chips - he would have chips with everything if he could (baked in the oven). I have managed to get him to eat these yummy chicken breasts that our butcher does which is chicken breast with pesto on the top and then wrapped in bacon - they're sooooo good!!
So when you think about what a fussy eater he is, plus I can't have dairy products....it's a very limited diet!! And if he doesn't like what I cook, he has 2 Minute Noodles or a pie instead, because I won't cook something separate for him . I love broccolli, spinach, garlic, paprika based dishes...all things he dislikes intently!!

tonight it's orzo salad with salmon
just done the groceries - for this week we'll have pork burgers (homemade patties with fennel - yum), pasta with smoked chicken x2, maybe pizza with smoked chicken, thai spicy & sour soup with raw spring rolls, chickpea and tomato soup (will do 2+ meals). Hmmm, looks quite yum actually! I'll have to keep coming back here to remind myself what's for dinner!

Caden will have his pumpkin kumara and carrot mix with some of the chicken we have in it
I might make a apple crumble for pudding as we have HEAPS of apples on the tree, and make custard for the top.

Mmmm, apple crumble. I have a yummy one I make with ginger in the topping.
And your DH's are very lucky to have such patient wives - mine gets what is put in front of him (or he cooks what he is told to cook). Lucky he will eat anything!

Fliss, my DH is the same, he gets what is put in front of him and if he complains I tell him to cook his own ***** dinner then!  lol, I am mean 
But, he will eat most things, even if I have stuffed up, he will still eat it! Like when I didnt cook the rice enough one night, he actually loved it  weirdo lol

DH and DS are having leftover lasagne, and I'm making a vege lasagne for me, (and so DS and I can have it for lunch tomorrow, and will freeze leftovers) With the remainder of the pumpkin, I'm going to make a roast pumpkin soup to freeze.

It is sooo easy, cos roast beef can dry out, so this way it stays moist and melt in your mouth, and the soups make an awesome gravy... mmmm ,mouth watering thinking about it!

ooohhhh all the fussy eaters out there. I don't eat meat or mushrooms (or theres actually a huge list so won't go into it) BUT I tend to do most of the cooking and just throw things together, pasta, mixed vege, chicken and a can of whole peeled tomatoes etc.
If DP wants some sort of meat then I usually do veges and pasta or salad cook me some chicken and he cooks his steak or what have you.
Tonight I had chicken kiev, alfredo pasta from a pack and some salad mmm yum! So quick n so easy
