No idea what I am going to make. DH is a baby whose mother SHOULD have forced him to eat things. Thanks MIL.

He won’t eat fish other than salmon
Cottage cheese or Ricotta or Yogurt (so count out any lasagna)
Anything spicy or with BBQ sauce, or turmeric, or curry, or coriander, or basil or oregano or cinnamon.
No eggplant, squash of any sort (butternut or zucchini), sweet potatoes, mushrooms, or peppers.
“Eggs are not dinner”
Beans -maybe I can make a vegetarian chulent for dinner one night. But definitely will not eat rice and beans or chili.
Too hot for soup-but anyway, dinner needs to be chewed.
Veggie burgers “taste too fake and they are gross”
“Tofu is nasty-I’m not even tasting that”
“Cereal is not dinner, neither is a sandwich”-unless of course he got Chickies take out or shwarma or a take-out burger.

Anyone hosting a siyum I can send DH to?
My 6 yo is easier to feed!

Please help!!!!

Make shwarma using a light white fish fillet.
Busy in Brooklyn has recipes for all the elements of Fish Laffos (shwarma spiced fish, red cabbage slaw, tahini crema, pickled turnips, laffa).

Also fried fish shnitzel on warm crusty baguettes with the all fixins.

Fettuccine alfredo, penne a la vodka, pizza, calzones, mozzarella sticks.

Make the salmon.

Falafel dripping with all the fixins.

Grilled baguette panini. Quesadillas.

Thank you for your efforts to help.
He is not open to any fish other than salmon. I cannot mask it/bread it…. Or do anything else to it. He considers me disguising food to be hugely disrespectful and condescending.

I love that you thought he would eat a pickled turnip. I laughed out loud when I read that.

He eats pasta, but not vodka sauce (?)
And quesadillas have spice he is unfamiliar with and won’t try.

He might just get salmon and pizza every night.

It IS wrong to disguise food. Or to 'make' kids try different things. Whatever your MIL did, your way would not have been preferable I'm afraid. If none of your kids seem so restricted in their eating so far, that's luck of the draw.

I didn't mean to disguise the fish. Just figured he'd like those if he liked their meaty counterparts.

Quesadillas are seared wraps with cheese. Sliced tomatoes optional. What sort of spice are you adding? It's all optional.

[How would you disguise and convince him that you were serving him chicken during the 9 days anyway? Lol]

Cappuccino, my husband is the same way.
He won't even eat salmon.

I gave up. I cook myself what I like and I don't worry about him.

If he thinks of something he wants to eat I'll be happy to cook for him. I can't chase him to eat likes a toddler.

I'm not as nice as you. If you want to be nice about it you can ask him to write you a menu and you'll cook it. Or if there are a few things he will eat make a big batch of whatever it is and let him eat it on repeat.

My inclination would be to say, he's an adult and can figure out his own meals. Make food for yourself and your kids. If he doesn't like it he can make or buy his own dinner.

Why is it always the wife's problem when the husband has food issues?

My husband does not eat any milchigs. Its his job to come up with the menu every year for the 9 days which is usually 4 different types of fish made in different ways... at least he likes fish. This year I'm pregnant and I can't eat fish but I'm cooking it for him and I'll deal.
Last night was Asian salmon bites and mushroom lo mein and a soup.
We'll also be having
Black pepper tuna steak and smashed potatoes
Salmon burgers
Cod fish and breaded eggplant
One night we'll have something that's not fish, maybe falafel

Lentil barley cholent
https://www.imamother.com/foru.....38314

Classic cholent with beans, barley, potatoes. Flavor with 2 tbsp each oil, ketchup, brown sugar, 1 tbsp each paprika, salt, garlic powder and onion powder. Add a parve kishke on top.

I'm dealing with a teenager with a lot of recently discovered food sensitivities so I'm stumped this year.

She can't eat:
Wheat
Dairy
Sugar
Tomato products
Legumes
Eggs
Quinoa
Oats
Most parve meat products that are made from legumes

Which leaves me with fish, potatoes, rice and roasted veggies. I'll see how long she lasts and I might ask a Rov for a heter for her to eat chicken.

Any suggestions?

I’m on a similar diet myself my choice- I’m making zuchinni and cauliflower soup, veggie soup, lentil pasta with pesto, salmon with roasted veggies, rice, salads

Thank you. Do you use the crockpot? (I could be wrong but I think in the crockpot we'd still have to wait 6 hour even if it's parve?) I have never made cholent other than for shabbos but I am planning to try this out!

Yes on high for 10 hours (instead of the 20 hours low). If crockpot is clean and not used in 24 hours it's parve.
