My boyfriend is so very picky,as in very very picky. Im having a very hard time cooking meal for him. He only eat chicken breast. I try some new menu for chicken breast but it turn out that he don’t like it at all. Sometimes he eat Basa fish. But most every dinner and lunch he eat’s chicken breast. I made chicken sandwich,he don’t like it. He don’t like to cook. He don’t want to help me while I’m cooking,even taste the food that I am cooking so how will i know that it is okay to him. And he wants everything over cooked.

sekazaba says:

haha I am sorry for you. But I have 2 of them. My son and his wife. i live with them, my only job is cook dinner. One hates cheese, and any sauce, gravy, pork, and his wife hates ALL vegetables except 2 in raw form, carrots, cucumber. RAW. She also hates pork, and loves KD. thats all. Oh she loves my mashed potatoes. I am deeply offended daily, since I am a great cook. This is nuts.

Donna McCracken says:

OMG--- I have one of those, my husband. He still has the taste buds of a teenager- he is 52. After 20 years, I am still baffled and stressed. His taste buds have no adventure!!!!

Over half of these links say page not found when I click it which sucks because I really am wanting to try these!

Linda Weiß says:

My kids would rather starve than eat any of this😆, you haven’t met my picky eaters. Recipes looked great though. I quite liked the lime taquitos.

Sandra says:

I have discovered your recipes and have used many and all of them have gotten rave reviews! Thank you so much.

Momma Cyd says:

We are so glad to hear that you like the recipes.

Samantha says:

It never fails to annoy me that non-picky eaters just don't get it. We picky eaters do not, repeat, do not all love and hate the same foods. It ain't rocket surgery people!!!!!
