Need some ideas for 'man' food!

Give him a big hug and ask him to help you plan the week's menu.

Have you tried using the casseroles etc to make pies. Men love a good pie.

I am going to make egg and bacon pies tonight..

My other suggestion is the chicken kievs from the forum- my DH always helps himself to more than he should!  The pie thing is also a great idea. The salami fettucine from the EDC is always a good one as well as there is not too much sauce and even though by DH is not big on pasta I make it with the spicy salami you can buy as he loves spicy food. Luckily my lasagne and spag Bol always seems to get eaten as well - sometimes I think my DH is fussier than the twins. The only but of  good news is that my 19 yo stepdaughter decided that she didn't want to be a vegetarian anymore so now I only have to worry about cooking for an anal DH, 5 yo twins, my Coeliac disease and a non vegetarian teenager. Thank goodness for the TM! ( By the way, the only runny thing my DH doesn't complain about is the TM custard! He can never get enough of it- especially when I dollop it  over a bowl of morello cherries.)

Well, after a round of night shift, a few days off and some R'n'R- DH (the Dear-sort this week) has had a review of what he does actually like and it DOES include TM food, just not rice and curry!  Of course the children- the little darlings, heard him say it was slop and take GREAT delight in asking what slop is for tea!  That was beaten out of them rapidly (kidding!!); bribery of chocolate custard seemed to fix everything!!
Cocoa adds a delightful element to chili- it gives it a really yummy flavour! Just dont use too much or you will have chocolate meat!! Chocolate and chilli are being used more often, I actually heard a chef on the radio talking about it- you get the smoothness of the chocolate/cocoa and the warmth of the chilli...mmmMMMM
I've put a huge amount of recearch into what meals will be acceptable for the dear man, so hopefully he will be much happier with the choices!!  I will feed the children and myself the meals he doesn't like and be the perfect '50's domestic goddess and feed my man his meat and 3 veg (TM style!)

I tried this Beef and Guinness Stew last night - beautiful, and would make great pies. Don't all men love a beef and guinness pie?
Hope the link works - my first attempt!

Some nights, I get my DH to cook BBQ meat, and then I just do sides and/or salad mostly in the TMX. We have one of those weber babyQ on the balcony, its no dramas for him, I usually have the meat marinated ready to go. We are both happy with this option - easy and quick for me to share the cooking load - and he is happy with his blokey steak.

Thanks Dede, can't let poor Judy do all the work!

My husband is the same!

Though his eyes do light up at the mention of anything bacon related, so I am thinking I might use that as an excuse to get In the Mix, so I can make that Bacon Dust and sprinkle it around with gay abandon!

My daughter just sent me an email about man food. Too funny. You can do it. See if I can get these photos up.
