Other than that, whatever I say goes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-request-specific-meals#post-1179700 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 14:56:32 +0000 ALV91711 1179700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes when I ask there will be something specific he wants. I usually only ask when I can't come up with an idea though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-request-specific-meals#post-1179673 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 14:50:31 +0000 LuLu Mom 1179673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everytime I ask it's tacos and pizza...it's like he's a kid. I stopped asking and just make what I want so we have some variety in our lives! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-request-specific-meals#post-1179571 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 14:30:23 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1179571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not much, he pretty much eats whatever I cook. I know he usually prefers rice as the starch, so I try to do that a few times a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-request-specific-meals#post-1179080 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 12:30:46 +0000 ElbieKay 1179080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He does most of the cooking! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-request-specific-meals#post-1179065 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 12:27:25 +0000 Ash 1179065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He gives me suggestions when I'm making the grocery list and meal planning but if I can't decide what to make, he's never any help and it drives me nuts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-request-specific-meals#post-1179044 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 12:22:05 +0000 Adira 1179044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only cheesecake, but that's not really a meal, haha.</p> <p>But I don't take requests. I make whatever I want to make and he makes whatever he wants to make when he's cooking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-request-specific-meals#post-1179029 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 12:19:03 +0000 teamjse 1179029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes he'll ask for certain dishes that are his favorites. He started cooking as well, so it's a huge load off of me. I'm not picky at all, I eat whatever he serves. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-request-specific-meals#post-1179005 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 12:13:13 +0000 yin 1179005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He makes an occasional request every now and then, and I'm happy to follow through. It might take me a few weeks. Hehe. I usually ask him to help me menu plan for the week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-request-specific-meals#post-1178981 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 12:08:03 +0000 mrs. wagon 1178981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bite his head off when he does something like make a request (I'm an insecure, new cook so if he requests sometime I take it the wrong way and yell at him for assuming I'm always going to cook and making me feel guilty for not cooking enough... he's such a lucky guy to have me, eh?) but when I tell him we're having one of his favorites, his eyes light up, he says "ooooh" and does a little happy dance. So I know what he would request if he had the chance ;)</p> <p>He loves my slow cooker beef tips and anything Korean I make, which is basically only kimchi jjigae and Korean fried rice nowadays. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-request-specific-meals#post-1178969 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 12:03:01 +0000 MCD919 1178969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He loves mexican food, so he's extra happy when I make enchiladas, chili, quesadillas, etc. He doesn't usually request anything, and seems to be happy with whatever I make, so I'm lucky in that respect! He's not picky either, which helps </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-request-specific-meals#post-1178947 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 11:57:36 +0000 PurplePeony 1178947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes he'll request certain dishes that remind him of home, but the rest of the time, his standard answer when I ask what he wants is "spinach." Never any ideas what to DO with the spinach, though. I don't really know why I bother asking! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-request-specific-meals#post-1178822 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 11:26:12 +0000 purrpletulips 1178822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, he suggests lots of meals (mostly ones that we've never had before and would take me awhile to prepare). I wish he'd suggest less and cook more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-request-specific-meals#post-1178698 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 10:55:43 +0000 blackbird 1178698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes! Meal planning is a joint effort. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-request-specific-meals#post-1178684 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 10:53:11 +0000 mrsjyw 1178684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>sometimes yep! during the work week he just eats what i or my mom has made for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-request-specific-meals#post-1178680 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 10:52:34 +0000 Boheme 1178680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both have things we request! He makes the perfect caramelized flank steaks for Mexican dishes, so I ask for that. He requests my meatloaf, Dijon-lime chicken, and potato soup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-request-specific-meals#post-1178674 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 10:51:55 +0000 pui 1178674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very rarely. Most of the time if I ask him what he wants for dinner he replies with "I don't know, whatever," lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-request-specific-meals#post-1178649 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 10:44:51 +0000 bushelandapeck 1178649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Chicken Parm....like once a week at least. He's a man of routine though and likes to eat/do the same things over and over. It;s fine with me because it takes a lot of the stress out of deciding what to make! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-request-specific-meals#post-1178637 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 10:42:30 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1178637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: I just found a killer chicken chili recipe and he's already had me make it twice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-request-specific-meals#post-1178602 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 10:34:14 +0000 Ra 1178602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: He LOVES crescent rolls, so I usually make them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-request-specific-meals#post-1178594 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 10:33:03 +0000 MamaMoose 1178594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We sit down and meal plan together every week so we each come up with a couple of ideas of things we want. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-request-specific-meals#post-1178591 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 10:32:11 +0000 mrs. bird 1178591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>most of the time it's a crockpot chicken (i think he likes when i make a whole chicken so he can pick at it in the fridge after!), or steak. he doesn't ask for many specific recipes though- more like a meal selection off a wedding reception card: BEEF, CHICKEN, PORK, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-request-specific-meals#post-1178578 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 10:29:23 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1178578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Man...if DH kept vetoing my suggestions, I would tell him to come up with something himself if he doesn't like anything I suggest! </p> <p>He does on occasion when he's feeling hungry for something. His favorite is chicken parm, so I try to make that every so often...especially when I know he's had a bad day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-request-specific-meals#post-1178576 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 10:29:11 +0000 IRunForFun 1178576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: I would give exactly the same answer. He will eat anything I make, but he's never requested anything a second time, which makes me think nothing is good enough to be memorable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-request-specific-meals#post-1178568 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 10:27:40 +0000 Freckles 1178568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really. The only thing he will request is my jerk chicken and this ginger-scallion sauce. He's usually, "Whatever is fine..." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-request-specific-meals#post-1178567 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 10:27:31 +0000 lovehoneybee 1178567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: Same here! </p> <p>Every now and again he'll request something specific...this week it's potato soup...but usually he doesn't give shy input. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-request-specific-meals#post-1178554 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 10:25:29 +0000 autumnlove 1178554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: sounds good! :-) What do you usually serve with your chili? Cornbread? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-request-specific-meals#post-1178552 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 10:24:50 +0000 Ra 1178552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only my chicken chili. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-request-specific-meals#post-1178548 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 10:23:36 +0000 T-Mom 1178548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, he is the opposite. He never has any requests, he just eats whatever I make. Which is cool but also makes me feel that nothing I make is really "requestable" haha... </p>
