What to do?

I would cook enough for both of you, and if he doesn't like it, then you can have leftovers the next day .

I am fortunate though, my hubby is on board with me and what I cook.

If he is not on board with your cleaner eating then he can make his own meals.

Just wait until you have kids... I use to have to do every meal 4 ways (me, him, each child due to ages). Now we all eat similarly, but I make slight changes (either adding things for them, or substituting things out for me) and also I portion my food out before we eat. Sounds like a lot of work but if it's the same meal, it's not a huge deal.


Example:

My husband and kids want the traditional shepherd's pie so I make one for them... yellow potatoes, mixed veggies and organic leaf ground beef. For me, I make a smaller version for myself (not double the work as I use the veggies and potatoes) but I will substitute 70% of the potatoes out for steamed cauliflower (which steam while I'm cooking the other stuff) and sub the ground beef out for lentils (which again, I sautee with onions and tomatoes while the ground beef is doing the same). They get generous helpings of theirs, I get a specific calorie mindful helping of mine and we all win

That might have been a time consuming example haha, that's a Saturday or Sunday dinner. But for the week, I'll make them pasta, and I'll use zucchini noodles instead - but same sauce. Or they get organic ham and cheese sandwiches, I get ham and cheese, no bread. Etc.

Hope that helps. If he's that picky, just give him what he wants and cook what you need by making variations

If you're both working, he needs to step up his game and start etiher cooking for himself, or eating what you make.

Even though you've let him push his agenda thus far, and even if he is Puerto Rican (which, don't know what that has to do with anything other than the Latin-Male Alpha thing).

This is 2013. Women who work shouldn't be 100% responsible for making the meals. Take turns. No complaining when the other person is cooking, and whoever isn't cooking that night does the clean-up.

You can always use the trick my mom used on us when we were little. She cooked dinner and if we didn't like what was in front of us she would say " There's the kitchen have at it"

This. I come from the school of thought grown men, can cook for themselves if they don't like what I make.

I too have picky eaters in my family. My husband insists on drowning everything in sauces and no my kids too. We can not change the habits of those around us, but we can call on them for support. Sit down with your husband and calmly discuss your concerns and problems. Come up with a solution TOGETHER! Maybe it can be something where he cooks what he wants 2-3 times a week and you are in the kitchen with him making something for yourself alongside him, or you can even slightly alter the recipe to have less oil, put the rice on the side of yours first (remove it all together) make his recipes slightly healthier....just some ideas the other 3-4 days (depending of if you eat out or do leftover nights) you cook dinner how you want it and he eats it. Agree to this for a time - say one month. Then he can choose if he likes some of your recipes and is willing to eat them again (which I bet he will even if it means drowning it in something ) and then you can continue to work through it with him. I am sure there is a good side to this where you are not having to do this alone. Even if he doesn't want to join you on this journey ask him to support you and be your fan. I am sure he will be happy with the results in the end

Sounds to me you just can't please your man!

Worked for me growing up, too.
