It’s frustrating when your spouse will only eat a few foods. Here are some gentle ways to encourage him to eat a wider variety of foods.

I love experimenting with recipes and trying new foods, but my husband doesn’t. He likes a few foods, and he’d be content eating these same foods over and over again.

I stopped using that … [Read more...] about October 2019 Dinner Menu
