Cheap recipes for really picky fiance?

There are only two of us at home and we found out that the now frozen dinners are delicious and most are healthy with no preservatives. Buy the top known brands.

Here is a typical weekly dinner for us:

We both have our own frozen dinner;

Canned pears or other fruits;

Small can of vegetables;

Can of sweet potatoes or bake two potatoes in the microwave;

Ready made frozen pie, or a dessert from the deli, or ice cream cups.

Give it a try for one week and see what you think.

Another thing you can do is buy pre-cooked meats such as pot roast, chicken, pork chops, ham, meatloaf, etc. Divide them into meals and freeze them. We do this often. Ask a grocery store clerk to help you find these pre-cooked meats. They are in the refridgeration section.

The boxed pasta dinners are delicious. Just follow the directions on the boxes. You will find these on the shelf at your grocery store. Each box has a packet of spices.

You can buy cups of rice for one person. Just add water. Follow directions on the containers.

Canned soups with a sandwich make great dinners or lunches.

Bagged salad greens will often give you two or three salads. BE SURE TO READ THE DATES. Buy the ones that have been washed twice. Salad greens go bad fast.

Cerals are good for supper.

Eggs are also good for supper as in fried egg sandwiches.

Grilled cheeses with soup.

Spam can be fried or eaten cold on bread.

Canned fish such as kippers, sardines, tuna, salmon (I like to put a little soy sauce or salsa on kippers and sardines).

Cook boneless skinless chicken breasts in a large skillet with a little oil about 4 minutes per side on medium heat. Add one chopped onion, cook briefly and add 1 cup of chicken broth. Cook about 3 minutes then add one jar of spaghetti sauce. Turn heat to low, cover and let simmer until chicken is done, approximately 20 minutes. Meanwhile, cook some pasta ( bowties or rotini are nice) following directions on the box. Drain the pasta and serve the chicken and sauce over the pasta. Serve with a bagged salad and Italian bread. Good luck!

I like to make asian food once in a while and here are some links to some simple, yet delicious asian recipes. They might include japanese, chinese, malaysian, indonesian, thai, or vietnamese food (those are my favorite). And if he likes sushi you could either make or buy some different kinds, some soy sauce, wasabi, or whatever.

when you get here, look to the left. There should be a list of asian countries. Pick which one you like and browse their recipes.

this one here^ has asian desserts and drinks

Well, I hope you find something you like. Asian recipes are not usually, if ever, casseroles, though there are some spicy recipes, but it is easy to tell if they are spicy or not by looking at the ingredients. I can't think of any recipe that mixes meat and cheese together, and some asian recipes are salads, so they have dressing. But that's it. Asian cuisine is definitely different, especially if you make it yourself. If you make it yourself, it turns out way better than the asian food you get at your local asian restaurant, unless it's like a five-star restaurant. Well, good luck!

P.S. you might have to go to a specialty store to buy some of the ingredients. Sometimes, you don't have to, but it may happen. Just look one up on one of these sites:

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://bitly.im/aMMbo

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

what is he kosher?..you can go to a local kosher grocery store and buy recipe books. if he's not kosher and just an annoying eater then cook what you want, and let him starve. no dont really do that, but cook him the same ole same ole, picky eaters usually have routine food, and you cook separate dishes for you. eventually he will get curious and want to cross over to the yummy side.

Does he like meatloaf or roasted chicken breast served with baked mashed potatoes or roasted potatoes. Neither is spicy, just loaded with flavor.
