Just a little background information, I just began my senior year in college in Virginia and my husband and I were married in August 2009. So one weekend I got married and two weeks later I started my last year at college. It's been a busy summer, especially since I also took summer classes while doing some last minute wedding planning.
I am new at this whole wife thing, so I'm still trying to figure out the ropes and I felt that I could write about all my new adventures of being a new wife. Right now my adventure is actually an ongoing disaster. My husband is a very picky eater, and it's a job all in itself to find food that he will each that is even slightly nutritious. He still eats like a child; he loves PB&J, Kraft Mac & Cheese, chicken nuggets, chocolate cake, and ice-cream. He won't eat anything green and the only "vegetables" he will even consider eating are corn and potatoes. I've tried hiding vegetables in his food or doing new recipes that incorporate some vegetables, but he eats around them and picks out what he'll eat and then throws the rest away.
I've made a few things that he likes; I've made homemade Mac & Cheese and cornbread muffins. He also likes my pancakes and eggs. So breakfast is taken care of, it's just dinner I'm worried about. I know he loves meatballs, but I haven't been able to find a recipe that he enjoys. Every time I try a new one I here a reluctant "it's good baby," I just want him to really enjoy what I make him for dinner. One problem is that we use ground turkey so it's never very moist. I did have a horrible attempt to make them moister and instead of chopping onions, I blended them. They smelled wonderful, but were absolutely nasty. Live and learn I guess.
I just don't want to be asked if we want to just go to McDonalds or Burger King anymore, I hate fast food and don't want my family to become dependent on it. I grew up with home cooked meals and intend to raise my family on it also. We need to be saving our pennies and eating at home, I just wish I could find more things he enjoys and aren't repetitive.
