It is tough when everyone else is so picky. Daryl’s family (whom we live with) is the pickiest group of eaters I know. And they like everything BLAND.. no season whatsoever. If I put any seasoning in a dish, they call it “spicy” LOL whatever! When it’s my turn to cook (which is pretty much every night, but I don’t mind because I like to cook and I look at it as doing my part-we live here rent free after all!) I try to make things that can be tailored to everyone’s tastes. Individual portions with different ingredients for everyone, but everyone is eating “the same” thing. Soup is a big hit, as well as any basic meat; I just find different ways to cook the meat. One time we had ribs three times in two weeks, each time cooked a different way (crock pot, broiled, grilled) So it was a bit of variety for me, and the same meat that everyone likes.

It is tough, but our household is reversed–I am hugely picky and Jay is much like you and he gets bored. I wish I had good ideas for you, but if you can’t do casseroles. I do have a yummy spicy Italian Beef in a slow cooker if you are interested….

I would send you some of the bolognese I made tonight but we just finished eating it! Seriously, I go through phases where I feel frustrated with the same foods over and again too. Sometimes my DH and I will have seperate meals because we both like certain things that the other doesn’t, but in our house it’s Angelica that’s the most difficult one to cater for. I have to say, when you said you had eaten brains I started thinking of zombie movies! Lol
