When we first got together I taught my then-boyfriend (now husband of 6 months) how to cook a few things. He didn't know how to make tea with a teabag before we met, but now he cooks dinner for us almost every night, unless I'm in the mood to cook or there's a recipe I want to try. Of course, he's one of these dudes with a limited palate (sigh) so our dinners consist mostly of:
The following entrees with any combination of campari tomatoes, green beans, mushrooms, peas, corn on the cob, fried potatoes, and/or mashed potatoes:
-Hamburgers
-Pan-fried chicken thighs or drumsticks
-Steak
-Pork chops
Or:
-Hot dogs and salad
-Beef tacos
-Pasta bolognese or pasta with Italian sausage
-Vegetarian chili (we just have a really good recipe for vegetarian chili)
This does, indeed, get very old, but that's when I'll step up and cook something different. Usually I'm just very tired at the end of the day and glad that he still, after all these years (9 and a half), finds cooking enjoyable enough to take on the chore. Also the dude is really into campari tomatoes, which are indeed quite tasty although a strange side dish. We eat a lot of them.
