Recently married, what to cook?
| Fri, 09-21-2012 - 5:28am |
Hi!
I am so excited! I got married recently, we came back from our honey moon and now it seems we started our family life. All nice and shinny, but I want to be the perfect wife. So, what do I cook for dinner? You know what they say: love goes through the stomach. What can I do to assure meals diversity?

Thanks, keeyamah] I continued my "research" on Google and I've found some sort of tool, DinnerWiz, I'm checking it right now. If anyone else want to share their thoughts I would appreciate it. Thanks
I was in your shoes in 1975, trying to be June Cleaver. My husband said, "I won't eat pork chops or rice." So I made my pork chop and rice casserole and it was his favorite meal.
I don't do marriage well, I'm dastardly independent but I've had successful restaurants and I'm here to tell you...men will eat anything if you don't ask them to cook.
Both of my marriages were the result of pot roast with taters, carrots, and gravy. I don't cook that for men anymore because I don't want to get married.
But if you are happy with it, consider mastering the perfect pot roast!
Find out what his favorites are, maybe even talk to his mother is you have a good relationship. I've taken a few of my MIL's recipes and improved on them, talk about brownie points! =D Anyway, make sure you know what he really likes and really doesn't like and go from there.

Congrats.
Best advice I can give you is be your self, your husband married you for that . If you love cooking, cook what you love cooking and hope he loves it too and if you hate cooking then ask your husband and see if he loves cooking more then you.
I come from a family where mum mended cars and dad cooked dinner, dad was horrible with cars and mums food was horrible except for Christmas.
Menuplanning with your husband helps keeping dinner time diverse and it can also be a fun night together googling for recipes and having something yummy to nibble on while doing it and also menuplanning keeps the cost down.
