Just starting as well as I have been the same. Very reactive with food, rather than proactive. Would help though if DH would atleast tell me one dish he would like cooked other than spag bol

So far I have just used 2 cooks books, one of which is a budget dinner one. Have decided that I will write in the cookbooks any changes to the recipes that are needed, like quantities, so I know what to get next time. Over time I will compile our own recipe book of recipes we are happy with.
