Dinner in the summer

[EmmaReed84]

What kind of dinners do you have in the warmer weather?

DH is so fussy he does not eat fruit or salad, only just eats carrotts, runner beans, sweetcorn and broccoli... and that is only with a roast dinner when smothered in gravy!! He tried to eat bananas and bless him, he had to leave the office to eat them in his car because they made him heave

In the winter it is ok because I have been doing nice steaks, stews, casseroles etc but now it is getting warmer and I don't fancy that any more. I want to make chicken salad and wraps with salad and have more light, green stuff on my plate... I told DH I wanted a baked potatoe with grilled chicken and salad, he wanted the same but with beans and it all looks... BROWN! and heavy and yuk lol

What can I do that will satisfy us both, short of making him cook for himself at 7pm when he gets in

Make loads and freeze it and then he can have what he wants

it must be an essex thing cos my husband is exactly the same! he doesnt know what fruit is, and as for veg they are only for roast dinners!
he is a keen bbq'er and luckily cos he works for himself too is around to start one after work, we have meat and salads and rice in the summer months alot!
how about risottos salads, jacket potatoes erm my brains gone dead sorry hun

We have more bbq's but still cook the samethings through the year as well.

My DH is much the same. I have converted him to wraps though and he will have a bit of salad with lasagne

otherwise it is baked beans with everything or a choice of 3 veg that he likes with gravy

BBQ is fine too
