Queen of the kitchen

Re: Queen of the kitchen

Well if she insists on doing things HER way and not letting YOU control the cooking…then yes, you do need a system. You should have your husband distract her while you’re cooking. Your husband should tell her that HE wants her to spend time with him (watch TV, talk whatever) while you cook a dish for dinner. Your husband also needs to tell her that he loves both her AND your recipes, and he would like to eat something she cooks but also have something you cook your way.

If she doesn’t eat your food so what? As an adult she has every right to not eat something she doesn’t like. Since you know she’s not going to eat what you cook, stop cooking “plenty”. Cook enough for the number of people that’s actually going to eat it so it doesn’t go to waste.

And why does extra get thrown away? You and your husband never eat left-overs the next day?
