[QUOTE="maglil55, post: 2059852, member: 52911"] I'm with [USER=345386]@DCUKMod[/USER] and [USER=41816]@Brunneria[/USER] on this - no way would I be cooking two totally different meals and I speak as someone who has exactly the same problem as you - an OH who eats with his eyes. It's taken me years to retrain him [emoji16] Like [USER=41816]@Brunneria[/USER], I don't use the words Keto or low carb and gradually he's discovering that he can't really notice the difference. For the most part I just tweak what we're having so we'll have the same protein (be it meat or fish), he likes the veggies steamed with a bit of bite and the variation is he'll have some form of potato - I'll have something else (more veggies, veggie chips, celeriac dauphinoise or just salad depending on what the protein is). He prefers the non-cheffie food and that makes it easier to vary. Batter on fish? I have a low carb tempura on my CMT - it looks like and tastes like a tempura batter. I also do a sesame crumb which gives a fab crisp crumb. He doesn't like the sound of 'seeds' so I mill it or use ground pork scratching instead. I think it's on CMT but it's one I vary depending on what I am cooking. Spaghetti bolognese? Only variation is he has spaghetti - I have oomi noodles which just need a warm through. I still make mac & cheese but that's usually when the boys want it too. That's probably the one time I'll have something totally different. Believe me I sympathise with you but it is possible to sort it out eventually [emoji15] PS Meatballs - I just stopped using breadcrumbs. Instead I whizzed up onion/mushroom ( or whatever veg he'd eat ) and used that with the meat together with parsley, beaten egg, seasoning then dust the meatballs with bamboo fibre or oat fibre and give them a quick fry to set the outside. OH doesn't know it's oat or bamboo fibre - looks like flour to him. [/QUOTE]
