Trying to plan meals, but I'm really uninspired at the moment. We seem to circulate between the same few meals every week. I'm in desperate need of some ideas!
Our stock meals (ones everyone will eat, at least) consist mainly of chilli, spag bol, fresh pasta and tomato sauce, pasta bake, chicken fajitas, veg curry. DSS is 10 and very fussy, won't eat onions, mushrooms, picks the 'lumps' out of the tomato sauce, no creamy sauces. Hates chicken dinner (although he loved it a few years ago) won't eat the 'chicken in a bag' type concoctions. But he does like chicken.
He will eat peas and carrots and cauliflower, but that's about it for vegetables. I swear he'd live off bacon sandwiches if he could. He pulls face and moans if it's not one of his favourite meals, I think he confuses not liking something and it just not being his favourite, because he will eat veg curry, for example, but will complain if he knows in advance we are having it. To me, not liking somehting means I can't physically eat it, like seafood (yuk).
DP is less fussy, so when it's just us two we're less restricted. Although he does hate herbs.
I'm trying to make healthy meals and cut back on meat too. Apparently Quorn is now also off the menu though :(
Me and DP are getting so bored of the same repetitive meals, but I'm wary of trying new things because one or both will turn their nose up at it.
Might get DP to plan meals for next week for a change.
We like spicy food, Italian and Mexican are favourites. I don't like seafood or offal.
