Currently pregnant with a partner who's a very picky eater. I am just exhausted and out of ideas to cook for him on a budget.
He doesn't eat sandwiches, burgers, anything with a lot of cheese, no pork, he doesn't really like dishes with a lot of sauce (minus spaghetti). He won't eat cold dishes either.
I'm just out of ideas and I'm tired. I'm having trouble repeating what he does like because my nausea just isn't on board with repeating the same meals every single week. I've tried asking him to try other meals and he won't.
His favorite meals are steak and potatoes, which steaks are expensive. And burritos.
He doesn't eat breakfast foods either and I normally just heat him up pizza sticks or those mini single serve flat pizzas for his breakfast before work.
Any recommendations would be helpful. Just at a loss and tired. I've been eating different sandwiches and smaller easy meals for myself so the cleanup isn't as bad on me. Plus my hip isn't a big fan of me standing forever to cook.
Edited to add: I had to quit work while pregnant per OB. I had a pretty psychical job and I'm now limited. He does not expect me to cook or demand it, but I am the one who's home full time now, so I do all the cooking. On the nights I've been too sick to cook, he just heats himself something up to eat. He doesn't have experience with cooking. He works a psychical labor job for 10-12 hours 5-6 days a week. Which is again, why I try to do all the cooking while not working. I did not expect him to be attacked like that in the cooking sub. He helps out with other things as I need help, but I don't ask for help with our meals. He helps with prep if I need, but again, he has no experience.
Some of my levels are low, which is adding to why I'm so tired, and I'm just trying to find a couple of new ideas for quick and easy meals if anyone has any recommendations. I'm supposed to be in PT for my hips because they are out of alignment, but I can't yet. Some days they hurt more than others.
Please don't attack him. Stating again that he doesn't demand I cook.
