Yeah, it's tough when you have certain things you like.
Many years ago, I used to faithfully by Cooking Light magazine. They often would take standard recipes and lighten them up. At some point, they changed a lot of their recipes to include very "new" trendy types of foods and I often didn't care for them. When I used to make 5-6 new recipes from the magazine to making none (or one if I was lucky) I had to stop spending the bucks for the magazine only to be disappointed. I still try to go online and look at their recipes to find one. Occasionally I luck out. I find their stuff to be successful when I cook it. I think the test them out well before publishing.
That's a good point, too. The trendy new foods are hard to spend the money on to not know if you can cook it or will like it. Especially true with DH who is sensitive to smell and textures of things he's unfamiliar with. If it's not delicious, it's a one and done and won't do again. I can and will try to get used to a new to me food.
I laughed on Sunday as he was preparing to go out of town. DD who is 17 and will eat most anything and I were plotting our "dad doesn't eat that" meals that we would cook and eat this week. But the joke has been on us as things have come up and I've done zero cooking this week as she and I have had several meals out with other obligations that we have both had.
Tonight, I'll make broccoli cheese soup that she's been wanting. I will have baked salmon (dh doesn't care for fish).
