My boyfriend does NOT eat veggies - well, he will eat carrots if they are practically mush. I really need recipes that won't be terrible for him or myself and that I can add veggies to easily.

HELP!!!!

    Whole meal pasta with tomato sauce (if he'll eat that), you can easily add stir fried veggies yourself and with the right portions, you won't bust the calorie limit either. You could also try pizza with whole meal crust (I use wheat pitas) as well.

    CROCKPOT! You can do any kind of meat and add your veggies to the meal,~ such as potatoes, yams, salads, rice, pastas etc.. Good Luck!

    Keep in mind that most people in relationships eventually take on the habits of one another. Either he's going to have to learn to eat veggies or you'll eventually stop eating them.

    My husband used to never eat veggies AT ALL! He even takes the tomato and pickle off his burger lol. I told him iceberg lettuce is not really a vegetable as it has very low nutritional value. Anyways. I cook for all of us and my kids eat veggies so I just started cutting them up smaller and letting him pick them out :) eventually he just started eating some of it. And now he likes veggies :) 2 years ago I served him a Kashi meal and he said it was gross but yesterday he heated up the same one for lunch and said it was awesome! lol I told him about how far he has come in two years. It is all about palate and everyone's palate can be trained to like new things. It is funny about how some guys can be such children about vegetables. My husband was like "I am a grown man now and dont have to eat my veggies if I dont want to lol" Then he turned 29 and put on a few lbs and all of a sudden he wants to eat his vegetables ;)

    Awesome, I read this outloud to my boyfriend - turns out he likes yams! Lean something new everyday! He has also promised to try Spagehetti Squash (which I have been craving every summer/fall for the past 3 years!)
