Unfortunately for me, in a world where fast food and pizza places are just a five minute drive away, if I don't make something my husband will like, he will go find it himself. My solution now-a-days is to always have health options that he likes on hand, as well as his familiar snacks and favorite meals, then to make nutritarian meals that are very meat-eater friendly, such as chili, whole wheat spaghetti, or anything with potatoes. I'm hoping that gradually his tastes will change, like mine did when I first went nutritarian, and I won't feel like I'm grocery shopping for two different families when I go!

He ate sweet corn and roast pumpkin not much else and didn't EVER eat soup.....He came from a step family of butchers which didn't help matters but the crux of the matter was that his step mum ONLY let him in the kitchen to do dishes / never to cook and her cooking was dull.....her step daughter (stu's sister) was a sort of vego and every time I went there for dinner she would make dahl for the 2 of us to eat instead of roast chicken......and when I say dahl I mean DULL dahl!! Anyway within the first year my boyfriend moved in with me and since he couldn't cook he ate what I made or didn't.....he started eating veges really quick when he discovered they don't have to be boiled to death. He likes stirfried things and encouraged me to give tofu another go (I hadn't liked it due to a bad experience when my mum tried to make it for me). He started eating really thick / chunky soup (I called it stew) and gradually all soups and even tried some cooking with mixed results. By about 6 months of living together he didn't eat any meat although had fish outside the house and then gradually stopped eating all of it. We are not vegan yet but we are pretty close and although we thought our diet was healthy before it is WAY healthier now. With regards to converting meat eaters I try things like bolognese made with almond mass (from homemade almond milk) or "balls" made with soy beans and sunflower seeds with a tomato sauce or burgers with nuts / tofu / beans. My husband is a sucker for baked eggplant or tofu parmegiana / caccetore. There are loads of excellent blogs (like yours) for ideas!Rach_the_vegohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14620187938804628520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497179589669118598.post-65297621583556914472013-08-08T21:41:51.700-07:002013-08-08T21:41:51.700-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497179589669118598.post-43981307187095332392013-07-21T13:26:02.823-07:002013-07-21T13:26:02.823-07:00Yay!

Drizzle some Braggs over the top of it all and bake for 30 mins...even my omnivore hubby will accept them as a meat substitute. :)Sus Annahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17588317681661478873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497179589669118598.post-3533104947586199652013-07-17T03:48:45.830-07:002013-07-17T03:48:45.830-07:00Oh and by the way, I've never eaten Quinoa war...Oh and by the way, I've never eaten Quinoa warm.

I have quinoa and rice porridge with fruit every breakfast just about, But I have just started to take a shining to the whole quinoa. I love cooking it up and then mixing in tomatoe and cucumber, sring onions, garlic and lemon juice. I add what ever else takes my fancy on the day but it is so yummo.<br /><br />Good luck to your hubby on his health challenge.Bechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15008485854615231806noreply@blogger.com
