What to make for the pickiest eater on earth?!
My boyfriend is driving me nuts! He doesn't eat any veggies but corn, no sandwiches except salami and deli american cheese, and only orders well done bacon cheeseburgers when we go out to eat!.He rarely tries anything new and most of the things he eats are unhealthy and processed!.It makes him gain weight and he has a history of diabetes in his family!. I am worried but I can't find any recipes that he is willing to try!. HELP!!

Show him a few articles about colon cancer, which is where he's headed in the not too distant future if he carries on like this, and maybe he'll appreciate your efforts a bit more!.
How about baked potatoes (oven not microwave so they go all crispy) with a chilli topping!? If you use a good quality ground beef (ie not full of fat and hormones) it will be healthy, and you can sneak finely chopped veggies in there too (onions, peppers,tomatoes etc)
Good luck!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yikes! Try making a few dishes that have hamburger and bacon in them, some type of casserole, even cheeseburger hamburger helper and if he doesn't eat it then he goes hungry!. I think the only thing you can do is cook the foods he likes, hamburger but make it different!. Make it healthy and if he doesn't like it he doesn't eat!. Or revert to what parents do, if you try 2 bites I will give you!!!! Good luck!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
It can be very difficult!. Try to find lean meats and what few vegetables he'll eat!.
Some people are supertasters and are very sensitive to flavors, so it may be a factor with your boyfriend!.
Please understand that adults who are picky eaters would prefer to be able to eat a wider range of foods!. Their reactions to various smells, tastes, and textures make it more difficult to socialize!.
Take it slowly and, above all, be patient with your boyfriend!. He's not doing this to be a pain!.

how about making a meatloaf!? It's basically his hamburger but just in a different form!. You can chop up all sorts of veggies, like onions, peppers, mushrooms, etc and mix them right into the meat!. finely dice them so he doesn't even notice they're there!. Make with a side of corn so he gets the veggie he likes too!. also make a side of mashed potatoes mixed with fat free milk and salt and pepper!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I think he should fix his own food! He's not a baby and in this day and age men can't afford to be cuddled! Better still, maybe a new boyfriend would be good! After all it sounds like he will die young due to that bad diet!Www@FoodAQ@Com
Good luck! You might try finding some cookbooks that offer recipes for healthy junk food!. They are out there!.
BTW my kids and hubby are picky eaters so I understand!. LOL!Www@FoodAQ@Com

If hes hungry, he will eat what you offer him!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
Tell him to eat what you fix or cook his own damn food!. He's not a baby!. If that doesn't work then dump his fat ***!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
how old is this "little boy"!?!. if he doesn't like what you cook for him, show him the way to the kitchen!. why is it YOUR responsibility to spend your time and effort to cook for him just to have your work rejected again and again!? he is manipulating you, getting more attention by making you feel sorry for him because "he might starve"!.
he will either eat what you fix, or he can fix it for himself!
as for the fact that he eats un healthy food, my boyfriend is the same way!. hight fat meat, high sugar and lots of salt at every meal!. i used to try to get him to change the way he eats (high blood pressure and diabetes and cancer in his family too!. and he is petrified of needles)!.
he was constantly telling me about how healthy he was eating!. how his blood work from his doctor had no high cholesterol, high glucose, or high blood pressure!. he is almost 60!. after awhile i figured out that the only one that can make him eat healthy is HIM!.
i gave up wasting my breath!. i just don't want to hear him complain about the illnesses that are coming his way soon (he's 100 pounds overweight)
he can cook!. he knows what a healthy meal is!. he knows he is ruining his health!. he won't care until he has a real health problem!.
but i have decided that it's not my problem anymore!. we can only do so much!. you can lead a horse to water!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
