    I’m SOOOOO glad I found this website!! ❤️ My daughter is so picky but I really think getting her to help me with a few of these, as well as minor tweaks like 0 red sauce, of any kind (did I mention picky? Lol) will help!

    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.

      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.

      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!!!!
