I wish my DH requested more meals....he never has any input and he just vetoes my suggestions!
Does your SO request specific meals?
-
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...
-
Only my chicken chili.
-
@rahlyrah: sounds good!
What do you usually serve with your chili? Cornbread?
-
@T-Mom: Same here!
Every now and again he'll request something specific...this week it's potato soup...but usually he doesn't give shy input.
-
Not really. The only thing he will request is my jerk chicken and this ginger-scallion sauce. He's usually, "Whatever is fine..."
-
@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!
-
@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!
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.
-
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.
-
We sit down and meal plan together every week so we each come up with a couple of ideas of things we want.
-
@autumnlove: He LOVES crescent rolls, so I usually make them.
-
@rahlyrah: I just found a killer chicken chili recipe and he's already had me make it twice.
-
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!
-
Very rarely. Most of the time if I ask him what he wants for dinner he replies with "I don't know, whatever," lol.
-
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.
-
sometimes yep! during the work week he just eats what i or my mom has made for us!
-
Sometimes! Meal planning is a joint effort.
-
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.
-
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!
-
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
-
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
He loves my slow cooker beef tips and anything Korean I make, which is basically only kimchi jjigae and Korean fried rice nowadays.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Only cheesecake, but that's not really a meal, haha.
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.
-
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!
-
He does most of the cooking!
-
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.
-
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!
-
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.
-
Only one meal, which is his favorite of all time. Other than that, whatever I say goes.
-
@Adira: i, too, would request cheesecake if i had someone at home who would make one for me
