    My husband cooks 95% of our meals. Since I have started my weight loss program if I am going to have a salad for dinner he eats his meal before I arrive home from Zumba.

    I do ALL the cooking. And I keep no prepackaged, heat and serve, etc. food in the house, so if they (hubby and kids) don't like what I make TOO BAD. Luckily I'm a good cook :)

    I live with my 3 teenagers and my parents...<insert comment here>

    My kids each plan and cook one night a week and my mom and I each do 2 nights a week. Sometimes we go out but not often. It's a good arrangement for everyone...I love teaching my kids how to cook, they will be on their own some day.

    You might try cooking together when you can - get to know what each of you likes as far as spices and flavour combinations. It's good to hear that he liked the sausage meal! My fiancee and I will cook together on occasion (he's learning to cook from me), and it's been a good bonding experience and has helped us learn more about each others' tastes.

    My boyfriend hates most things healthy (except some fruit & the occasional salad or potatoes & carrots). I tried to add some more flavor to the healthy meals I cook without adding a ton of calories. If he doesn't like it then he can make his own food!! He's almost always eat the suppers I prepare if I make an effort to include his likes and dislikes. Or just pick out his dislikes LOL

    Other than suppers he pretty much eats his own food. He loves prepackaged heat & serve type foods, which I'll occasionally eat for supper with him. He has his own section of the pantry & freezer for his granolla bars & lunches. Which is fine cuz we never eat lunch together, so it works.

    I do. We have similar fitness goals, so it works out. I don't eat meat except for fish, but I do cook it for him. I'm awesome like that.

    My husband and I share a house with my uncle and his daughter.
    My husband and I cook 2 nights during the week and my uncle cooks 2 nights. The weekends usually are fend for yourself or take-out. My husband did most of the cooking on our nights, but I've been taking it over more to try out healthier recipes. The nights my uncle cooks are usually fattier dishes so I don't eat as much at dinner.

    I cook dinner about twice a week (on my days off). The rest of the time we're on our own. Hubby is a manager at a fast food restaurant and gets free food. :grumble: So when I cook, I make it as full of veggies and nutrients as possible. Since we always work opposite shifts, we both just assume we're fending for ourselves. Cooked meals are planned days in advance so no one comes home with food for one. :laugh:

    I cook five nights a week, the wife has Sunday and on Saturday I grab a subway sandwich on my way home since I will be eating with the four legged kids only. You might look into enrolling into a cooking healthy class together.
    If he does not like what you cooked his loss {I think it is bad form he will not just gut it down}. I have made some terrible dishes and wifee tries it and then eats around it. I also when I have "too much" freeze it for a lunch or dinner down the road.

    I cook in my house! I love to cook, and this way I can see what is going into the meals. My family loves it, too, as they know they're bound to get a healthy meal if I make it for them. Double bonus!
