I'm with you (and here for support if you need it!) I am (and used to be worse!) a VERY picky eater. I was a vegetarian for 18 years. Eventually I tried chicken and now I'll also eat hot dogs, chicken sausage, meatballs, bacon, and I have tried fish and pork once (pork was in a little dumpling, ground.) I have a lot of anxiety about trying new foods and so cooking at home - and being able to please me AND my husband - can be VERY hard.
I really like making sweet potato fries as a side dish. Do you like them? If so DM me and I'll send you the recipe. I also just discovered zucchini- if you shred it (using a grater or a professional shredder, either using a larger grate setting) you can replace half or more of your pasta with it for a DELICIOUS meal... use red sauce or meat sauce... just saute it in a little oil for a while... you don't even NEED a sauce if you put some garlic in there too... sometimes I'll add bacon, ok not super healthy but I'm sure you could add any veg you like as well or serve with another healthier protein. I also have that recipe if you want to DM me.
A great summer meal is a caprese salad with tomatos (heirloom are GREAT and colorful) with onions (I like red) and cheese... mozzerella, feta, or my fave, super-healthy and delicious goat cheese!
I know it's hard to be picky. Places like this are great for looking up new recipes. I also discovered Tastykitchen.com (pioneer woman's website made it) and it helped me find recipes in a really easy and not confusing environment.
((HUGS)) from a fellow SUPER picky eater!!!!!!
My hubby's favorite is my chicken parmigiana and I love making it because it's super easy and soo yummy :)
I use boneless skinless chicken breast
1 egg
italian bread crumbs
prego traditional heart smart tomato sauce
mozarella cheese
All you have to do is dip the chicken breast pieces in the egg and then into the bread crumbs until they're coated with bread crumbs and then put them into a baking pan and pop them into an oven on 400 for 30 mins.
When the 30 mins is up you take the pan out and pour on the tomato sauce. (I usually use half the can if it's just us and the whole can if I'm making it for guests.) Put it back in the oven for ten mins.
Then, remove the pan and add the cheese (as much or as little as you want) put it back in the oven until the cheese is melted and then viola- you're done!
I usually serve it with a veggie and over wheat pasta :)
Hubby makes pork chops on the barbeque with this disgusting sounding sauce - but it's actually the only way I will eat pork now! The sauce is just brown sugar and ketchup mixed to a saucy consistency and then add a bit of mustard. I KNOW - it sounds terrible but just try it!! I'm very picky too and am not a huge fan of ketchup or mustard - but this sauce is surprisingly delicious!
thanks @kjpugs, sent ya a DM.
@wifeywife - i love chicken parm! I do already make that quite a bit though. :)
@mrsT2Bee - that sounds good! it sounds like the ingredients of a bbq sauce so that doesn't sound weird!
keep the recipes coming! Ugh I hate being in a rut. I'll add a recipe too...I'm really tired of this right now since I've made it a lot but it is really good! But I don't use the mushrooms or the red peppers because, ofcourse I don't like those, and I skip the butter just because it's not necessary.
I make lettuce wraps with my chicken that are really good. You can make an Asian style with chicken strips seasoned with giner & garlic. Dice up some cucmbers and season with rice wine vinegar & sweetener. Mix toether in a big lettuce leaf. You can also make Mexican style by seasoning the chicken strips with cumin, chili powder, & garlic. Mix w/ cheese, sour cream & salsa in a bg lettuce leaf.
I sent you a DM back!
Remember you can ALWAYS substitute stuff. On places like TK you can ask others what they think would be a good substitute. It's just like a restaurant :)
I really like allrecipes.com - you can enter the ingredient you want and don't want and they have TONS of recipes. I always sort by rating. The comments are really helpful too (and sometimes kind of funny).
I love roast pork tenderloin. It is a good cut of meat. Roast in the oven at 350 degrees until it reaches an eternal temperature of 155 degrees. This cut is juicy and flavorful. However, I like to season mine with sage and black ground pepper or serve with a pork gravy. Serve with a starch (potatoes or rice) and a vegetable and you have yourself a healthy hearty meal.
thanks all for recent replies. Didn't realize there were more :)
Thanks arizonabride, lettuce wraps are a good idea.
@prairiegrl - oh that looks like a good website. I usually do have to take ingredients out or substitute especially veggies. would be good to search for ideas without certain things like onions!
@Future Mrs. Martin - Thanks, I've wanted to try cooking tenderloin...I've had great tenderloin at restaurants before, but whenever my SO's mother cooks it it's REALLY dry, so I've been hesitant. How long does it usually take?
Chicken breast + salsa + crockpot = chicken fajitas.
Super easy. I usually shred the chicken right before we eat it. I love not thinking and eating healthy all at the same time. BONUS!

I am a seriously picky eater and I tend to go out to eat alot. I'm trying to cook more things at home to save money and to be healthier. Not trying to lose weight or anything, I just want to make sure I don't gain weight. Problem is, I'm very very picky and there's some things I just can't overcome. For meat I only eat chicken and pork, no fish, no beef, and no ground meat of any kind. I have to be on of the few people in the world that won't eat a hamburger. I'm pretty picky on vegetables too, but trying to be better with them. I do love many types of fruit though.
Anyway, getting pretty bored with my 3 chicken recipes, and I love pork but don't have any good recipes to cook it! Anyone wanna share a few healthy recipes so I don't have to eat the same thing every day!!
