Please read my post again. :wink:

I did not follow the link provided. I only searched "Sonoma" on amazon and saw the Williams-Sonoma Cookbook (no housewares store/products). :smile:

Mostly the second...so i have my work cut out for me. The first would be a bonus. Well said. My intent was humour. Fortunately, I found helpful comments in the end.

Thanks, I'll check out Best of Bridge. It doesn't have to be Canadian by the way. I have my mom's 1949 paperback copy of Mme Benoit's first book as well as her 1980's main book but cooking has changed so much, the recipes haven't aged well. 50 years! Your mother deserves an award! :smile:

Well said! Kudos! *throws flowers*

My library has both! Weee! Three weeks of free browsing! :pig:

Whatever polish cooking I do, I lighten up already (and oh he notices! :mad:) He dislikes sweet potatoes (I *LOVE* 'em!). He likes veggies fine (no need to hide them, that's childish), just with toppings! Only one little problem...

Not "now" but soon! :smile: Seeing as I've been trying to solve my dilemma for years, my patience has taken a beating!

I'm still a wee bit older than you...so no worries!

I will look at both, thanks.:chef:

Oh the possibilities! I did go to a restaurant in Paris 4 months ago but ....all I had was quiche! (quick bite, we were in a hurry...darn!) Not surprised. :lol: Oy! When life hands you lemons, ...wait he doesn't like lemonade either! :rofl: I'll keep trying to find solutions (& look at...

This is the interesting one I saw on amazon: The Williams-Sonoma Cookbook: The Essential Recipe Collection for Today's Home Cook (Hardcover) (grrr...I can't post links yet :ohmy:) If that one works, I might try the Diet one later.

Very true. I don't know about you, but just looking at the recipe has produced many disappointments. And recipes that read boring are sometimes amazing (my leek soup, for example). And one contributor can have an amazing recipe...then a dud. Food is expensive to experiment with. It's like...

I saw a Williams-Sonoma cookbook on amazon...Could be interesting. I will browse through it at my local bookstore before I buy...Thanks.

I've been here too. Many times. Like many sites, it has many contributors, which makes it lack a certain consistency. Recipe quality (despite the ratings) are all over the map. Thank you nonetheless for the suggestion. =)

I appreciate your comment. The croutons/bacon bits was an example of an overall trend. I suspect you may be right in saying that may not be fixable by recipe alone. I already do your freezing and the vegetable suggestion. So I guess what I'm doing, although frustrating and time-consuming, is...

Your comment is in poor taste. The "duh" referred to anyone thinking they can "make those purchased croutons and bacon bits disappear" from another *adult*!

"healthy recipes" on google... Did that exact search a few months ago. That is what caused me to write "...There are thousands of recipes on recipe websites. The odds of finding a good one are slim...finding more than that, forget it..."

For years, I have introduced great meals the rest of the family loved, but he never acquired a taste for any of it. I still make make them and he still doesn't enjoy any. P.S. Balsamic is not new to me...I have given it years...it's truly horrid.

My pantry *is* full of healthy choices. "...make those purchased croutons and bacon bits disappear..." ???? NOT an option. Duh! Who thinks like that anymore? He buys what he wants - the same way I do. When he cooks, he cooks stuff he likes. He know cooking - like everything else - is work...

I want to find new healthy but tasty recipes. But I'm at a crossroad... I grew up on my Depression-raised parents' French-Canadian cooking, most of which I find bland & heavy and don't eat anymore. My husband grew up on heavy post-WWII Polish cooking (lots of meat, cabbage, onions, bread...
