I got a call the next day saying that item was "on a nationwide backorder for 4-6 weeks. (in 3 reviews)

Beware of this company. They have poor customer service and I suspect them of using deceptive practices. I ordered a Sony brand camera battery and battery charger from them. Shortly afterward I received a phone call and was told that both were on backorder and that they were willing to substitute higher-rated equivalents for the same price. I accepted the substitution because I wanted them to arrive before we left on a 3-week trip.
The substitute battery from Bower did not perform well, holding enough charge for only about 20 photos without flash. After we returned from the trip, I emailed email@example.com as directed on the invoice and got a response that I should call Customer Service. I called and asked if I could return the Bower battery and have it replaced by the Sony battery I initially ordered. The woman, who never identified herself, said the Sony battery was on backorder (again/still?) and that if I thought the Bower battery was defective, I should contact the manufacturer. When I said that I didn't know how to contact the manufacturer, she replied "Google it!" That's their wonderful Customer Service!
The reason I also suspect them of deception is because their website lists the Sony battery as in stock and ships in 1 to 2 business days, even though I was told both when I ordered it and today that it's on backorder. The Bower battery isn't listed in their catalog. It sure smells to me like the old bait-and-switch routine.
Same old story, purchased 3 (what I thought were NIkon/Canon batteries). Recieved the call that 2 were back ordered, upgrade for a few extra $$.
Sent 3 Chinese "Bower". Batteries. Took them on our vacation and 2 would not hold a charge for more then 5 minutes, the 3rd lasted 20 minutes. called them at the 17 day mark, so sorry Charlie we have your money now so you can piss up a rope.
This place needs to be shut down, they are flat out thieves.
Buy the real thing direct from the camera companies, its worth the extra $$$ for the peace of mind.
On 8/16/14, I ordered 2 camera batteries that were listed as "In Stock" I received a phone call saying they were out of stock and tried to "bait & switch" me. I rejected the offer. Then received this email: We regret to inform you that the item(s) you ordered below is temporarily on back order. We expect this item(s) to become available within the next 3 - 5 weeks. You will receive an email with your tracking # once your back ordered item(s) ships out.
We apologize for the delay and any inconvenience this may have caused you.
Thank you for shopping at theestoreonline.com
On 10/7/14 they answered my next inquiry:
The item is on a backorder. There is nothing we can do, we have large orders that must be satisfied. We do have the higher capacity battery in stock. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Customer Service
It is now 10/24/14: Sent another email not yet answered. Keep in mind that Their ad is still offering these batteries at the same price and states "in stock"..
Are these people Nigerians?
I had a horrible experience with theestore. I ordered batteries which were not sent to me as promised and then - over the course of nine months - was promised that the correct ones would be sent and they never were. A range of no less than twenty e-mail exchanges ensured with downright lies that what I had ordered had been sent or were being sent.
I would NEVER do business with - or order anything from the theestore - ever again. They were absolutely horrible!
Oh - and did I forget to mention that I demanded a refund which they refused to process? I had to go through my credit card company as nobody from theestore would respond to my requests... (I was not surprised!)
Did a search for online for the Canon BP-975 Intelligent Lithium-Ion Battery Pack (7800mAh) and theestoreonline.com came up as having them in stock so I ordered at $169.99. A week later I get my package from Vid pro (obviously a drop ship) and on Invoice I see a Power2000 ACD-625 and a generic batter in the box. I call Vid Pro first and they say it is how the order came over to them so I call theestoreonline.com speak to a Michael Stevens (claimed to be manager) who told me that Vid Pro tried to call me and let me know that the Canon battery was out of stock and they sent me a better higher capacity battery. When I informed him I paid $170 for a Canon battery and received a $35 battery he fought back saying "show me where it is $35" so I proceeded to tell him B&H, Adorama, even Amazon and I could send him links to each. (don't believe it google Power2000 ACD-625 yourself which is the battery I received) He proceeded to argue with me that I got a better battery with higher capacity that I had ordered a 7800 mAh and was delivered a 8000mAh battery.. Avoid this company like the plague ended up doing a charge back with my credit card company due to fraud bait and switch. I wish I had done my research here sooner as I see this is a known thing with them.
Tip for consumers: Avoid, Avoid, AvoidAsk Jack about TheEstoreOnline
I ordered a specific Cannon battery online with this business. I got a call the next day saying that item was "on a nationwide backorder for 4-6 weeks. The suggested a different battery that "is made by the same company as Nikon and is actually a better battery.
I refuse the new one because was more expensive. I made a call to cancel my order, as well email to sale department. I talked with Sam Leary and Carter Hayas, (at least are the names in the emails). Very rude people. They send me the battery knows that I don't want it.
Please AVOID AVOID, MAKE BUSINESS WITH THEM. NO TRUSTY COMPANY.
I ordered a specific Nikon battery online with this business. I got a call the next day saying that item was "on a nationwide backorder for 4-6 weeks. The suggested a different battery that "is made by the same company as Nikon and is actually a better battery. It is only $2.00 more". I agreed. As an afterthought I went on line and googled to check out the reputation of this company. Page upon page of negative reviews explaining the same "bait and switch" practices from this company. I immediately (less than 5 minutes) called back and wanted to cancel my order. They said I could not cancel, but I could refuse the package when it is delivered by UPS. It was delivered to my mailbox by USPS, therefore, I had no opportunity to refuse. The battery sent was not the substitute they mentioned. This batter sells for $11 on Amazon. I paid $36. I wrote a negative review online which resulted in the company contacting me offering me " to keep the batter and receive a refund, IF, and I stress, IF I would change my review stating that I was very happy with the company and I would give them a 5 star rating. I told them I was not looking for free merchandise and would not accept their offer. I requested that if I returned the battery that they pay for return shipping. They will not. I will I'd done my homework on theestoreonline.com. They have terrible ratings, including an F rating from the BBB. They are bait and switch pros! AVOID, AVOID AVOID theestoreonline.com!
If you enjoy Bait and Switch crap, order from these folks who claim to have the lowest prices on the web. Problem is after I ordered I got a call that there was a nationwide backlog and it would take 4-6 weeks to get the item. BUT, they could give me an off brand item which was even better than the brand item I order and for the same price. Funny, after I cancelled the order I ordered it from a reputable company that magically had the item in stock
theestoreonline.com is a complete scam!!!
They pull you in with cheap prices. Then they call you the next day and tell you your item is out of stock. Then they "upgrade you for free" and send you some cheap Chinese knock-off worth about a quarter of what you spent. Then they won't do a return. STAY AWAY from these people. You work hard for your money don't let them steal it from you.
I actually ordered 2 batteries and a charger for a Nikon D7100 camera. All name brand stuff at really great prices. That same day I called back to cancel the order because I no longer needed the merchandise. A male told me that it had already shipped and that I should just call when it arrives and they would send me the RMA for return. When the item arrived, I didn't even open it, I called and spoke to a female who put me on hold, then came back with an address for me to send it to. I said "that's it, no RMA, just send it back and you'll refund my money? She said yes. I was a bit suspicious and then finally checked these guys out. This seems to be there MO. That's when I opened the package and found this cheap junk. I can't even hope to sell it to recoop my loses ($101.00). Fricken crooks!
You will get some chinese replacement for what you offered. Then they will tell you they are sorry and will make it up...depending on your patience, they will keep telling you lies till the end of your life.
stay away -scam!!!
Never buy from "TheEstoreOnline". They are a classic bait and switch operation. Every single time, they will bait and switch. They have phone operators who act super nice and will suggest an "upgrade" of your item when they are supposedly out of stock (even though items are always listed as being in stock), but in fact the item upgrade is a cheap generic item, simply listed as costing more on their website.
I purchased a canon battery charger, and instead received a $#*!ty portable charger that only costs about 13 bucks online elsewhere. I tried to cancel the order but they lied and told me it had already shipped, even though it hadn't and my card hadn't even been charged yet! So I wrote a bad review, and sure enough they called me the next day, telling me that if I changed my review they would give me the item for free. I refused, saying I wanted people to know they sucked. 2 weeks later I received another call, this time saying I would be refunded if I edited my review to a mediocre one. HA! This is literally the only reason they have good reviews anywhere. Because they bait people to change their poor reviews.
THEY WILL NOT SEND YOU WHAT YOU ORDER. AND EVERY SINGLE GOOD REVIEW YOU'RE LOOKING AT IS BECAUSE THEY GIVE PEOPLE REFUNDS IF THEY CHANGE THEIR REVIEW TO A GOOD ONE. Seriously. I'm pissed off. They will probably call me again and offer me a refund and something extra if I change the review to a good one.
This company falsely advertises items they do not have at cheap prices than other websites. As soon as you place your order, you will get a phone call saying the item you ordered is either out of stock (even though the website said it was "in stock") or delayed. But, "I can get you a much better product for a little bit more money." They are really good at this bait and switch, and they even come off as knowledgeable on the items you originally ordered and the switched item. When you balk, you are made to feel like you don't know what you're talking about. DO NOT ACCEPT THE SECOND ITEM. STAND FIRM AND CANCEL THE ORDER IF THEY DON'T HAVE THE ITEM YOU WANT. EVEN IF YOU TELL THEM YOU'LL WAIT, THE ITEM NEVER ARRIVES, according to other reviews I've read on this company (www.resellerrating.com). They will promise you that if you don't like the item, you can return it in 14 days. Which is true, but they fail to mention that there is a 15% restocking fee if you do. Buyer Beware. Stay away from this company and order from a reputable site.

Dragon's Rage: A Fairy Tail One-shot! Lucy was still lying in her bed within the walls of her medical room when she heard it. It echoed through her bones and touched her nerves themselves. Despite her bruises and bandages, she sat up. The whole room shook, with things falling off the table next to her. It sounded like a large demon suddenly let loose and let out its cry of 'GRAAAAAAA!' It scared her. It didn't even sound human.
But the silence afterward was worse. She sat deep within it for a moment, gathering her wits together before she stood up on her shaky legs. She headed toward the Arena, where the sound seemed to emit from. She walked while leaning on a wall for balance. She was forced to go excruciatingly slow, for her weak and feeble legs protested with every step.
She entered the long tunnel that emptied into the arena, with the brightness of sunlight blocking her view. She started

15 in a Billion
With 1.4 billion citizens, mainland China is the world's most populous countryand home to one in five women on our planet, from rice farmers to multimillionaires. Photographer Kate Peters and writer Abigail Haworth capture a portrait of a nation in dramatic flux through 15 women.
By Abigail Haworth
High-Class Mistress
Yixuan Wang, 29
Keeping mistresses (or concubines) has long been a status symbol for rich Chinese men. The practice was stamped out under communism, but it's back with a vengeance as the country modernizes. Wang, an exotic dancer from the freezing northern city of Harbin and shown here in an upscale Beijing shopping center, came to the capital in her early 20s and has been an ernai, or "second wife," ever since. Her string of married boyfriends has bought her luxury homes, cars, and designer clothes. But it's a competitive business. At only 29, Wang has had numerous cosmetic procedures, including breast and eyelid surgery, to help "keep her looks."

I've never had an excuse to take pictures of my technology!
A vague glimpse at technology in action - my desk. Well, Some of it.
You'll notice all the hallmark traits of a workspace, PC, USB Memory sticking out from it, Printer, Telephone, Monitor. Coffe cup. Etc.
The only piece that isn't in there is my phone which i'm taking the pic with :D
You may even notice the windows "restart your computer for the updates to take effect" box in the middle of the screen - huh technology you say?
AMAZING!! Nothing else can describe it.
Cellulose! Ah, warm memories of a bygone era...
If only I had the computers they use in TV shows, I could zoom in and enhance that photo* and read all the 'proprietary' data on those papers on your desk.
Steal your top clients and get your laundry list!!! Muhahaha.
*recreating data that is lost to pixelation.
What better represents "Technology" than the US Space Program?
This is the 'gift shop' at Orlando International Airport.
Living in Orlando, am able to watch every launch from our home.
Here is the view from my home/office.
The speed at which goods can be transported is truly a wonder of technology!
Is it 'cheating' to post in two places?
This is a great shot Parkin :) The Fedex, I too marvel at the service they provide with their latest technology.
The Nasa shop is fun. I too can see all launches when the weather is good. Distant though. I run out to the front of the house and look eastward.
The other day for some reason I was staring at my soda can thinking about how cool the pop tab inventions was (i regularly think about things that don't matter) and I thought...Hey! That's technology, and voila!
You make a great point. We take for granted many 'simple' items that require a large amount of 'engineering'. Think about the amount of pressure in that can (particularly during transit, as it is jostled). The 'pop top' must withstand that pressure within a defined tolerance and STILL be easy to open!
I, too, am awed by [seemingly] insignificant things.
That is a nice pic, simply a utility object and also as a used object also. :)
When I was a child, the christmas tree we would find in the woods and set up on the 24th, had clip on holders to burn beeswax candles. An unforgettable aroma, the fresh tree and the candles. Today we use these. They are safe, and technology made it so, but it is just not the same.
PS. Sara, the pop top is fun :) It is amazing how much we take for granted all these little inventions that make life so much easier for us.
Okay, so is this a good use of technology or a bad use?

Help feed my boyfriend. It's like cooking for a toddler.
So I apologize in advance that this is so long. I moved in with my boyfriend a couple months ago. We both promised ourselves before moving that we were going to start eating better and cooking more for ourselves at home. I've started, but he's not exactly jumping on board. I wouldn't call him fat, but he's carrying some extra pounds, and his family has a history of diabetes. Plus he smokes. I would like all of this to concern him, but it doesn't because he argues that he's not technically "fat." He eats tons of fried and spicy foods and has stomach problems like every other day. I try sneaking fruits and vegetables into the things that I make, but he professes his hatred for both.
He likes Asian stir-fries, mexican food, and pizza. And it's not easy for me to want to eat healthy when I have cookies, chips, and snack cakes staring back at me when I open the pantry. So I'm looking for ways to give him what he likes AND to keep it healthy. I'd really appreciate some suggestions for lighter fare from each of these categories, or for ways to sneak fruits and vegetables into our meals without him catching on. I'd love recipes for low-fat cookies and baked goods as well!
I used to have a guy like that. It can be tough.
One thing that helps considerably is, if he only wants pizza, mexican, and spicy food, make them at home. It will always be considerably healthier if made by you. You can make easy pizzas on whole wheat pitas, or make your own whole wheat pizza crust. If you want him to eat more veggies on his pizza, try cooking them in some way first so they're not so obvious and also putting them under the cheese(roasted red peppers rather than raw, caramelized onions instead of uncooked, etc). Mexican food can be made healthy pretty easily. Fajitas are a great example. Just go easy on the tortillas and skip the cheese. For spicy try veggie laden curries or cajun spiced seafood both of which are pretty easy and healthful. Get in as many whole grains with dinner as possible to help fill you up and prevent snacking later.
As far as snacks, I've had great success with baked sweet potato chips as a sub. for crackers/conventional chips. Make the chips using a veggie peeler so they're super thin then toss with a smidge of EVOO and S&P before baking. For dessert baked apples are great and can be served with a scoop of non-fat vanilla ice-cream or fro-yo to fill a pie craving.
It's a shame he won't take more responsibility for his health, but he's lucky to have someone loking out for him. I'd also try having a heart to heart with him and explaining he may not be too concerned with his own weight, but in support of you it'd be very helpful and nice if he'd keep the junk in the house to a minimum.
Good luck!
re: ArikaDawn
Thanks! I have one question about the sweet potato chips though. I LOVE them, and I used to make them a bunch back in college (I put them on a cookie sheet greased with cooking spray), but they either came out burnt or undercooked, and then after they cooled off, they just got kinda soggy. Is there some secret to making them that I'm overlooking? Perhaps because I never seasoned them with any salt and pepper?
re: Al_Pal
They can be tricky, and I stil under/over cook them on occasion. Just try to make sure they're in a single layer, the slicing is as uniform as possible, and not at too high a temperature. I cook mine at 300 degrees and start checking them at about 17 minutes or so. It also helps to mix them around the pan so there aren't any stuck in hot spots. I also let mine cool in the oven with the door cracked so they continue to dry out a bit. Hope that helps!
Oh, and I don't always use S&P, I actually prefer them plain, so I don't think that makes much of a difference.
re: ArikaDawn
Maybe this will work for sweet potatoes.
re: ArikaDawn
"I used to have a guy like that. It can be tough."
Did you break up over food preferences?
Gosh, Al Pal it sounds like you are going to be a great parent. But are you sure you want to adopt and baby an adult? This sounds like it could grow into a relationship issue so you might want to set some boundaries early. Suggest that he have his snacks/junk food outside the home (at work, etc) and not bring them into the house. Offer healthy snacks as suggested here (my fav is nuked popcorn with spices and a mist of hot chili olive oil - you can micro old-fashioned popcorn in a paper bag) and continue to cook balanced meals. Unfortunately, you can't make him actually eat it, since unlike a 7 year old, it's up to him. You could trick him into healthy food (a la Seinfield's cookbook and some of the sneaky suggestions here) but again, he needs to make the choice. He's an adult just like you.
I'm interested in ArikaDawn's answer - it might help you.
re: alwayscooking
It certainly was part of the reason. About 3 years ago I started getting in shape and all told have lost around 45 lbs. It really is a commitment and a lifestyle and if your partner lives in a way that opposes that it can be tough. Also, I am big into food and trying new things and felt hindered and uninspired cooking for a picky eater. It wasn't the WHOLE reason for the breakup(huge age difference, different goals etc.), but it didn't help at all.
re: ArikaDawn
Congrats on the weight loss - and that it sounds like it's part of a lifestyle change!!! And it seems as if you are in a better place as well. Much luck to you.
And for me , since I watch what I eat - it has to be GREAT and interesting - not just some slice of pizza.
re: alwayscooking
you make it sound like pizza can be neither great nor interesting
i must disagree
re: alwayscooking
I've got to say it's not a good idea to trick your partner into eating certain foods because if they find out (which is inevitable) they tend to distrust everything you cook thereafter. I tried it once by sneaking anchovies into pasta sauce - he kept saying how the sauce tasted 'funky' (it was delicious) and when he opened the fridge later and saw the jar of anchovies well for several months after that whenever I made pasta he would smell it suspiciously and then go check the level in the anchovy jar! (Actually i thought it was funny but if every meal had become a battle like that... ).
Also usually when your sneaking fruit and vegetables into meals your defeating the objective on three fronts a. the whole distrust problem when they find out, b. much of the nutritional value is lost when vegetables are sneaked into a meal and c. your partner will never develop acquire and acceptance of fruit and vege's as part of his diet.
I had a similar problem with my partner but I eventually realised that the problem was that I was (as the predominant cook) always asking what he wanted for dinner, or making suggestions for dinner which he would then reject because as something not exactly familiar and, therefore, it didn't sound appealing.
Anyway the the point is I realised that I'm the cook and he'll just bl##dy well eat what I cook for him - he isn't as fussy as I think it's just when given an option he likes the familiar over the unfamiliar. With this approach I've (and he as well) since discovered that he loves pumpkin and chickpea curry, loves a genuine napoleatana (with chickpeas - although he doesn't ask and I don't tell, although I would if he did) and chicken tangine etc.
Also with the fruit thing of his own volition he won't pick up an orange and eat it but, to my eternal frustration, if I peel and orange, quarter an apple etc for myself he wants half of it!
Ultimately, as the more mature and healthier individual (who presumably is also the main cook) you've just got to cook for your own nutritional needs and tastes and eventually (hopefully) your partner will come around, particularly if he gets tired of the expense of feeding his own 'likes'. Similarly, If you do the shopping don't buy the snacks that he lives off but are too tempting for you, buy for your needs.
It's a slow road to progress (my partner also has a family history of type II diabetes) and at times can be very frustrating, particularly as whenever I bring up the diabetes risk thing he feels like I'm attacking him, but I'm just worried and wish he would worry a bit more too.
You've got a good grounding with stir-fry (I'm assuming it contains vegetables) because it such a flexible dish. This is one of the most nutritious was to eat vegetables.
I recommend the following:
Stir fry (in peanut or vegetable oil - approx 1 tbs) chicken breast (cut into 1 inch strips) with garlic, ginger, sesame oil and a pinch of white pepper (or cracked black pepper) when cooked remove from wok.
Add more oil to wok, toss in more garlic and ginger, along with some rinsed bok choy, carrot (cut if you have the patience into double thickness matchstick, 2 inch long sized pieces), sliced mushroom (shitake if you think you can get away with it) and capsicum.
Stir fry until bok choy leaves wilt then add 1 tbs oyster sauce, 1/2 tbs Shaoh hsing wine (chinese rice wine) and 1/2 tbs soy sauce then reduce heat to med-low, cover wok with lid and let sit for a 3-5 minutes.
Serve on rice or rice noodles, or hokkien noodles, of egg noodles, or udon noodles etc.
Obviously there are no hard and fast rules - this dish can be modified in what ever way you see fit except by adding one of those packet sauces - particularly the dry ones where you add water first. Stir fry is so quick and simple that it really doesn't require those sorts of short cuts.
re: irisav
Unfortunately OP said that SHE won't eat stir-fry. Maybe that's an area where they can compromise.
re: c oliver
It's not that I flat-out refuse to eat stir-fry. I'm just not good at preparing it, which leaves it up to him. I'm trying to watch my caloric intake, and he's not at all calorie-conscious. If he's not going to try to use less oil and less of the ingredients that I find objectionable, I just can't eat it.
re: Al_Pal
Stir fry doesn't take much oil at all. Ask him to cut back 1/4 to begin with and then more as he realizes how little he needs. What are the ingredients you find objectionable? I can't think of anything I've ever used is unhealthy or is it that you don't like certain of the things. The breadth of ingredients for stir-fry is so HUGE, I can't imagine that y'all can't find lots of common ground there. And served with steamed rice, you can eat as little as you want. And, if the fella likes spicy, you can really lay it on there :)
re: alwayscooking
err! I meant a genuine napoleatana with anchovies! not chickpeas...that would b weird!
You can add veggies to anything--I've made mac and cheese with pureed butternut squash added to the cheese sauce and no one was the wiser. Carrots can be added as well.
If you want him to actually try eating veggies though, as opposed to just hiding them in his food, try making homemade salsa with garden tomatoes and serve it with baked tortilla chips (homemade or from the store) Fresh salsa is amazing, easy, and adds a fair amount of nutrients to any dish. I put it on scrambled eggs, burgers, sometimes on a grilled steak.
You can make fresh tomato pasta sauce as well.
Or what about chili? Ground turkey, beans, tomatoes, as spicy as he wants, and if you use low fat cheese and sour cream as toppings, it should be relatively healthy.
hummus and pita instead of chips and dip. And make the hummus with Greek yogurt instead of oil--it's great and significantly less fattening.
Does he like fruit desserts? Apple crisp, heavy on the apples, light on the crisp, is pretty healthy, and if you use whole grain flour, oatmeal and nuts, can actually be a decent winter breakfast.
How about banana bread? You control the amount of oil etc, and if you toss in some chocolate chips, it usually goes over.
Cooking at home is the key to a lot of this. I subscribe to Cooking Light, which usually has at least a couple recipes a month that would fit your needs. Or check out the cookbook aisle at the bookstore.
re: lulubelle
LOL, your post reminded me of the book Jerry Seinfeld's wife wrote about hiding veggies.
re: lulubelle
Yes, I was going to raise that as a suggestion.
Eating healthy isn't a program, it's a lifestyle. It's not something that you can jump into and out of. He's a grown person, it's either something he wants to do or not. You can't eat healthy today and go out and get a double whopper with cheese tomorrow. I would recommend a book, "The Sonoma Diet" by Connie Gutterson. It answers lots of the issues that you have. Check it out at www.sonomadiet,com . A Mediterranean diet is not only healthy but can be spiced up and taste out of this world.
Judging from the foods you've mentioned, it sounds like he likes bold flavors, learn to cook those types of dishes but using healthier ingredients, One of the easiest ways to loose weight and get healthier is with portion control. If you eat less you can control your weight, 2 pieces of pizza is better than 4. Instead of chips and stuff to snack on, switch to un-salted light butter popcorn, filling but low calorie, change from high test cokes to diet ones. Sorry but the snack cakes and junk has to go. Make cookies with Splenda, I make Choc, Chip Cookies with Splenda sugars and carob chips, hard to tell the difference. Sugars and salts are way too high these days, in most foods. Sugars will really put the pounds on, if you cut back it should help with diabetes control. When you shop, do it together, and don't buy snacks, if he wants them make him put them in his basket.
re: Grillncook
I'm definitely aware of the importance of portion control. He eats an incredible amount though, and I haven't tried to even address the issue yet. I'm hoping to first get him on board with the healthy eating. THEN we can work on portion control.
A few suggestions...
- rice and beans (maybe with some cumin added) should be similar enough to the mexican that he likes so much. I often added some salsa to the beans for taste.
- i made some zucchini muffins that i thought were great, bf couldn't really get past the fact that there was succhini in them. banana muffins went over really well. maybe play around with some lowfat recipes. we had them for breakfast and snacks.
- i made a roasted veggie soup and added some sriracha to kick up the heat. something like that might appeal to his spicy side. or maybe a roasted tomato soup with some lowfat mozzarella cheese on top. add some crusty bread and it's almost like pizza!
- when I make chili i sneak in all kinds of veggies...a can of pumpkin, some sweet potatoes...maybe you could roast some veggies, puree them and add them to chili?
- would he eat quiche? i've had ones with breakfast sausage, cheese, o'brien potatoes and salsa that were quite tasty. maybe you could sneak in low fat or turket sausage...
I agree with mostly all of the posts on here. I have gotten my boyfriend addicted to Glenny's soychips (lots of flavors) and also make popcorn with a air popper and a touch of salt and butter spray which is a great snack. For dessert I have taken frozen peaches and add cinnamon and microwave as this can be poured over vanilla frozen yogurt or angel food cake. Miso glazed bass is easy as well as a turkey chili or lasagna. As for stir fry, I would add chicken and shrimp with veggies and a very light sauce without the oil. Best of luck!!!!
I hate to say it, but knowing someone in a similar position, means I watched what happens...and here's my opinion. Stop wasting your time. Your boyfriend needs to make the decision on his own. But, here's what you do. Cook healthfully, and let him do what he wants. Eat things that you enjoy (but that are healthy), and especially make healthy versions of his favorite foods (for example, white pizza, or a tofu stir fry, or a fish taco), and eat them in front of him. If he asks for some, say sure, but it's got veggies in it. Then, make sure you throw in how good it is a few times. Make him want it:) He will probably come around eventually, but you just can't force it!
re: milkyway4679
milkyway is wise.
re: milkyway4679
I'm 100% with milkyway! I did that to my fiance, he wasn't so much picky as inexperienced... After about a year of me cooking for myself and our 'I'll try everything" roommate, he got curious and now is on the 'healthy' kick like you wouldn't believe. Actually, its kind of annoying now...he makes me feel guilty!
This may sound harsh, but if he eats like a toddler and acts like one around food, then you can just treat him like one. Cook the balanced, healthy meals that you enjoy (with some efforts to include a healthy dish that you know he'll probably like), put it on the table, and eat your meal. If he doesn't like it, he has the option to not eat it. But I wouldn't construct an entire meal around the unreasonable desires of one individual.
As with a toddler, you can only make so many concessions to their enjoyment before you are just giving in to their whims.
re: Cachetes
What Cachetes said... And are you the only one who cooks?
re: Morganna
I'm not the only one who cooks. He'll cook occasionally, but when he does, it's stuff like tacos and stir fries, which he knows I won't eat. We even made pizza together a couple weeks ago - made honey whole wheat dough from scratch, and while I put olive oil, spinach, shrimp, and a little mozzarella on mine, he loaded his with jalepenos, salami, pepperoni, and sausage. NOT exactly the healthy home-made alternative I had in mind.
definitely don't sneak anything in a-la-seinfeld. he's an adult, and he shouldn't be tricked. he's got to actually want it and like it on his own for the desire to eat healthfully to stick.
stir fries - make them with lots of veggies (go heavy on the ones he really likes) and a little lean meat if you're inclined. serve with brown rice.
pizza - make the dough at home, with half whole wheat flour (it won't make the texture too tough). make the sauce yourself too - a little splash of olive oil, some garlic, a can of crushed tomatoes, salt and pepper - easy. top with a little good cheese (you don't need much) and whatever veggies you like.
mexican - chili is a great idea. you can even make it totally veg, with lots of beans, carrots, peppers. baked chiles rellenos, light on the cheese, with brown rice and beans is a great dinner.
you said he likes spicy - is he into indian? curries and such can be really healthy if you go light on the oil/ghee.
you also might want to talk with him about banning processed yucky junk food in the house. if it's there, you'll eat it constantly. and if you eat it out once in a while, that's not so bad.
good luck!! i think you will get there!!
I had the same problem. My husband loves pizza, stir fries, and cookies.
Slowly, I started cooking healthier. I added more vegetables to stir fries and made my own stir fry sauces instead of buying the bottled stuff. Invest in some basics like seasoned rice vineagars, hoisin sauce, chile sauce, and toasted sesame oil. DIfferent combos of these ingredients with or without cornstarch added in makes every stir fry a little bit different.
Another great thing to keep on hand is homemade roasted garlic. I usually roast about 10 heads at a time, and squeeze out the paste into a small tupperware, and pour a few drops of olive oil on top to preserve it in the fridge. It adds so much flavor to soups, sauces, stir fries, or basically anywhere you would use regular garlic.
Also, keep balls of pizza dough in the freezer. I usually get the whole whear ones from Trader Joe's- they're only $1, so it's a cheap meal too. I leave it out in a bowl all day to defrost and rise, and stretch it onto a cookie sheet or into a pyrex right before baking. I always use different toppings, and at least one 'special' item to make it different than pizza shop pizza. I love sauteed wild mushroom, spinach, tomatoes, roasted eggplant, or ricotta with fresh herbs.
If you don't mind cooking and experimenting with favorite stand-bys, you'll be able to come up with healthy (and yummy) recipes in no time.
re: Chew on That
my husband and I have different opinions on healthy. I would not call him unhealthy, but he could do more. However, I have chosen not to try and change his eating habits (anymore).
when I do the cooking we try more interesting health options like quinoa & buckwheat. I have replaced all the white products with whole wheat alternative grains. He cooks basic, I always add a salad to his meals. There are some vegetables that he does not like, but he likes enough to be okay.
I do most of the grocery shopping, so I do not buy 'junk food', unless we are both indulging (which we do). I do not ask what he ate for lunch anymore, and he has chosen on his own that he feels better when he eats breakfast (awesome!).
what I am trying to say is the old adage "BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE".
If you really want to change it up a bit, would he be into smoothies or juicing? the problem with 'hiding' fruits & vegetables is that the more you cook them the more nutrition that they lose. you can make a lovely smoothie with plain low fat yogurt, fruit (fresh or frozen) a bit of juice, flax or oat bran, then if you get him eating that, throw some spinach in (raw), just a handful, but you cannot taste it.
for juicing, carrot, apple, pear, ginger & beet is my favorite concoction.
another option is adding a 'greens' product. these can be by pill, powder or liquid. they are packed full of concentrated fruits, veg, and other greens. they are great, you just need to find one that suits your taste. you can add it to a smoothie or juice, or just slam it back. this may help bridge the gap a bit.
I make a tacos/burrito healthier by adding brown rice to the meat, use low fat plain yogurt instead of sour cream and use a sprouted whole grain tortilla (from the grocer), and easy on the cheese. Sometimes we will make this into a taco salad with a few taco chips (organic is better for corn chips) and heavy on the salad part.
For pizza maybe using a small amount of boccocini instead of loading up on the mozza, and procuitto or capacolla can be a leaner option than pepperoni, get them sliced really thin, so it looks like more than it is. throw fresh tomatoes on close to the end of cooking.
For cookies, make your own at home. cut the sugar in the recipes in half, use whole wheat pastry flour, dried fruit and nuts, oatmeal instead of chocolate chips, or cut back on the amount of chocolate chips.
good luck!
re: yamalam
That cracked me up. I like your thinking, Yamalam!
First, a disclaimer. I'm a guy. I love stir-fries, Mexican food, and pizza. My lovely wife was raised to regard food as something necessary to keep body and soul together, and the enjoyment of food as something vaguely sinful. She would cheerfully eat nothing but brown rice and steamed veggies. If she decided that it was her job to feed me I'd either be thinner, single, or homicidal. But that's not an issue since I do all the cooking. So take what I say with a grain of salt.
In the first place, none of the things your boyfriend likes is inherently unhealthy. A good Pizza Margherita has a fair amount of bread, a little tomato, some basil, and a smidgen of cheese. Just because the corner Tex-Mex place has a 3,500 calorie combo plate that has enough grease and salt to blow an entire family's diet for a day doesn't mean that all Mexican food is unhealthy. And stir-fry - it's a cooking technique, and one that can showcase some of the healthiest and tastiest food out there.
You're definitely on the right track cooking more at home. Most restaurant meals compensate for the fact that the food isn't very good by delivering a dauntingly large portion loaded with fat, sugar, and sodium. But if what's cooked at home is a reaction to that unhealthiness - if the pendulum swings too far back - home-cooked food will seem like a penance. It should be a pleasure.
Which leads me to my main suggestion. Learn to make tasty food at home. Don't worry so much if it contains ingredients that seem "unhealthy," so long as the quantities are moderate. Meat has its place. Salt isn't a problem for most people. And fat is your friend (okay, now, in your best Forrest Gump voice: "butter, lard, bacon fat, chicken fat, duck fat, goose fat, heavy cream, light cream, whipping cream, half and half...).
Seriously, whatever you cook at home is almost guaranteed to be healthier than most things you can get at a restaurant. So the next thing to focus on is flavor. Especially of things like fruits and vegetables, which your significant other apparently has decided he doesn't like.
Okay, creamed spinach isn't exactly diet food, but if he likes it he might try spinach braised in chicken stock with a touch of cream. And maybe you can eventually eliminate the cream. Similarly, if he likes stir-fries, focus on the veggies he'll eat in them. Beef and bok choy stir-fried with oyster sauce is pretty accessible. And if he figures out that he likes the bok choy, you may eventually be able to omit the beef altogether (although why you would want to is a mystery to me). These are just a couple of examples, of course. Every veggie can be highlighted in many ways.
One important thing, though, is to use good ingredients, especially veggies. It's my opinion that one of the reasons people think they don't like Food X is that they've only had Food X bought from the lowest bidder and prepared in a school cafeteria. Or picked green and shipped across the country. Or defrosted and boiled to within an inch of its life. Or otherwise abused in a manner that masks or obliterates the flavor convinced our our ancestors that the stuff was worthy of consumption. Think local and seasonal. It just tastes better.
Long and short: if you're the one doing the cooking, I'd advise you to steer clear of "low-fat" and "healthy" alternatives to the food he likes. They're a recipe for toddler-like reactions. Instead, focus on quality. Really good food not only tends to be reasonably healthy, it also tastes better, plain and simple.
re: alanbarnes
I don't know why people think it's such a bad thing to hide some veggies. If somebody grew up in a home where they weren't eaten, or with a parent who didn't make them eat their veggies, they're not going to change their ways without some time and flexibility. My husband probably wasn't as bad as your boyfriend when I met him, but he was pretty limited in what he would eat. I would make a pasta salad with chicken and veggies, and he'd eat it but leave all the veggies in the bowl.
Some of my more successful veggie hiding techniques were finely diced bell peppers under the cheese and pepperoni on pizza, and using a food processor to mince zucchinni, onion, carrot, and celery that finds its way into my thick and meaty spaghetti sauce. I slowly added more veggies to his food, hiding them less and less, sometimes telling him he ate them after he told me how much he loved something I'd made, sometimes not, and it worked.
My reason for doing this was purely selfish; it broke my heart that the man I planned to marry wouldn't want to eat any of the special dishes I enjoy preparing.
re: Chile Pepper
Thank you! I'm so glad I'm not the only one who feels a little saddened when someone I care about won't eat what I've put time and effort into preparing and what I get excited about. I love breakfast foods, and I love making breakfast on the weekend. Last week I made a FANTASTIC egg-beater omelet with diced tomatoes, fresh spinach, feta, and a little mozzarella. It was one of the best omelets I've ever made, and he wouldn't even try a bite. Instead, he had frozen hashbrowns with sausage links. WTF.
"saddened when someone I care about won't eat what I've put time and effort into preparing and what I get excited about. "
So maybe a teensy bit of the problem is your hurt feelings. Maybe you had expectations about the moving in together that hasn't exactly panned out? I agree with the posters who've said MYOB (pretty much!). This isn't your responsibility. And when you DO cook, I don't think it has to be SO black and white, i.e., Eggbeaters with spinach, tomatoes, feta and mozzarella. I know plenty of people - healthy eaters also - who just wouldn't consider those flavors to be "breakfast food." How about ditching the Eggbeaters entirely and substituting some of the whole eggs for whites only? What about turkey bacon and reduced fat breakfast meats? What's wrong with a taco? I buy the uncooked flour tortillas at Costco. Each one is really big but paper thin. They have about 140 calories but low everything else. A soft taco can have a seemingly lot in it but if you look at what you put in, it's not much actually. I also use a microplane for the cheese so it LOOKS like a lot but isn't. A little black beans, a little rice, some fresh salsa, grated lettuce if you want. As to your not being willing to eat stir-fry, why not? What is in stir-fry that doesn't suit? I eat a lot of stir fry in both restaurants and at home and find little else to be as fresh and healthy. And as a final comment, do you know what his doctor says about his health? What exactly are his blood chemistries? We have a close friend who eats just incredible amounts of food with plenty of it being unhealthy fast food. He is absolutely pencil thin (that dirty dog) and all of his health monitors (BP, cholesterol, glucose, etc) are disgustingly good :) I WOULD have a problem resisting those snack foods of his in the pantry. Maybe make a big joke out of it and find a lockable box for them and only he has the key. Finally, maybe give some thought to what an equal partnership means to you. For me, it doesn't mean that one person gets to be in charge of anything. If you two can't agree on food, then you either have to do your own thing, compromise or stop living together. I reread this and it sounds judgmental in parts. That's not my intention but sometimes we can all be too close to something. This is all just IMHO :)
re: c oliver
Forgot to mention that in our soft tacos, there's no ground beef mixture. It will usually a bonless, skinless chicken breast cooked quickly on the grill and then sliced thinly. One will make 2-3 soft tacos.
re: c oliver
It's not necessarily that I'm trying to control what he eats. There are plenty of times we can't agree on a meal, so we end up each making our own separate dishes. The part that bothers me the most is that his health is at stake, he's acknowledged in the past that he needs to start making healthier choices, but there hasn't been much effort to move in that direction.
There's nothing inherently wrong with anything he likes. The issue arises in the preparation of what he likes - lots of butter and oil where cooking spray will do, too much sugary sauce or an overuse of dressing on salads, and high-fat ingredients that are not used in moderation. If much of the point of our cooking at home is to eat healthier, the purpose is totally defeated when you pile cheese and high-calorie sauces on top of otherwise healthy dishes.
On a much more optimistic note, we went grocery shopping today, and I was SO proud of him. I'm beginning to realize that a lot of the problem is more the result of ignorance than knowing disregard. I grew up with a health-nut mother, and although his father is a fantastic cook, he just grew up in a household that was less calorie-conscious. I'm learning that some things I feel should be completely obvious just aren't. I went to grab cooking spray at the store, and he said we didn't need it because we had oil at home. When I told him there were no calories in cooking spray but TONS in oil, he was genuinely shocked. But he made some great choices today. He's been buying frozen ice cream drumsticks but opted for frozen italian ice this time around. And he automatically sought out the leanest ground beef. And he made a spinach, grape, and feta salad with chicken and white balsamic for lunch. I think he's starting to realize that just because something's healthy and good for you doesn't mean that it has no flavor.
re: Al_Pal
Al_Pal, I'm sorry to say that you may have to let it go. You can't change someone else's eating habits just because you're concerned. If you can live with making separate dishes, you may just have to keep doing it until one of you (he) relents, or gradually realizes that he likes the good healthy food you make.
It sounds like he's wising up, which is good. But I would only mention that high fat and calories aren't the end of the world. Butter isn't evil. Neither is oil. I'd rather use either than cooking spray (though I've thought about those olive oil misters you can buy). Of course, moderation is key, and it shouldn't be too difficult to show him that you can get by with a lot less, in most cases, with very little detrimental effect on flavor.
re: Al_Pal
You seem like a sweet person, and your goals are laudable. My sense is that part of the reason you are so concerned is that you see some sort of longterm future with this person, is that correct? If so, I'd say you need to then readjust your thinking to see this as a longterm process (i.e. years, not weeks or months). Change will come, at least to a moderate degree, if you keep modelling good eating habits and providing healthy yummy foods.
At the same time, maybe you can try to see what you can 'learn' from his eating habits - we all have something we can learn from others (even if the lesson is that sometimes it's damn fun to suspend all healthy eating rules and just eat pure junk), and he may be even more open to your ideas if he senses that you are open to his. I don't want to moralize, but I know from experience (including the experience of often forgetting these things) that the spirit of mutual enlightenment, appreciation, and compromise are magic in a relationship.
And frankly, the smoking would be more of a concern for me than the food.
Wow. You make me feel blessed to live with a boyfriend who enjoys my cooking, especially when it involves tons of veggies!
It might help if you took his eating preferences less personally -- don't let it hurt your feelings when he doesn't want to try healthy things you make for yourself. It's not YOU, obviously -- he's interested in you enough to want to live together. People with different interests get along just fine all the time, and it's important not to read his rejecting your food as rejecting you personally.
With that said, I fully agree with all the other posters' suggestions on creating healthier versions of pizza, tacos, and stir-fries. Even if he won't eat tacos with veggies, at least your beans won't be full of lard, you can choose lean meat, etc. Spice up lean ground beef with enough cumin, chili pepper, onions and garlic, and it shouldn't be bland or boring.
I agree with ArikaDawn's suggestion of cooking vegetables before you put them on the pizza, and then putting them under the cheese. It's a brilliant way to get more veggies in, plus pizzas made this way are much less likely to get water-logged in your home oven. Less water in the veggies, less water in your final product. I find the usual 450F temperature suggestion on prepackaged pizza dough to be too high if you're using a lot of vegetables -- 400F works a lot better.
When I take the dough out of the fridge and let it come to temperature, I thinly slice and sauté vegetables to spread over the pizza sauce. You'll want to do this over medium heat, so the onions have a chance to caramelize and you cook a fair amount of water out. I use onions, red peppers, mushrooms, fennel, zucchini . . . whatever's in your produce drawer will usually work.
When/if you put fattier toppings on your pizza, it's easy to only buy enough for there to be a sparse amount. A deli can measure out a 1/3 pound of sausage, or cut your pepperoni paper thin.
Trying not to be let down when he doesn't want to eat your food is one thing, but resisting junk food around the house is a whole other animal. If you talk to him about it, maybe he can only buy single servings, and not keep them around where they're tempting you.
Good luck, Al_Pal. I'm curious to know if any member suggestions work out for you!
Maybe try shopping with him at an organic market or farmer's market. I know when I take my DH to Shop & Stop, he runs for the closest exit, but at Fairway or Whole Foods, he loves looking at everything in every aisle. If you're in a 'fancier' place, maybe he'll pick something up or look curious about something.
Another recommendation is to ask the butcher or produce guy (not stocker, but the manager or buyer) how to cook something. I've gotten some great recipes (spinach chicken burgers, veggie spaghetti sauce) from the specialty employees at higher-end markets. If your boyfriend is with you, maybe he'll seem interested.
I've been married 18 years to a wonderful man, a man whose eating habits couldn't be more different than mine. I love to cook, can be a very good and creative cook. But he prefers plain food, nothing particularly ethnic (some american-chinese), no gravy or sauces, little in the way of spices, dry salads, no tomatoes - it goes on and on. And while he has expanded his horizons a teeeeennnny bit., he still refuses to eat many things. And yes my feelings have been and can still be hurt, but I ask myself - why am I cooking something I know he won't like ? Who am I to decide what he should or shouldn't eat ? I came to realize that I can't let his preferences dictate my worth as a cook. If I cook what he likes and I cook it well and he's pleased - that's great. If I cook what he doesn't like - and I cook it well, and he doesn't like it - and I do - that's great too ! We can't change someone, only our own attitudes toward them.
The first thing he can do is eat smaller portions. I know you said you want to work on that after he moves onto eating better foods, but eating less of what he likes will show immediate results. If you stop arguing with him about meals and prepare the bulk of them yourself, you can make sure the portions are smaller and contain less of the high-fat ingredients he so loves. It just seems like whatever you're making now has so much less fat/calories that even if he does eat it, he's just adding everything back by seasoning it with tons of salad dressing, oil, or cheese.
If he likes snack food, introduce him to the 100-calorie packs or other low-fat/low-cal options. One of the biggest problems with snack food is that you just keep eating it without any idea how much you're taking in and at least that way he can eat 100 calories and be done with it.
Everyone's already given you a ton of great advice, so I'll just add a couple of ideas...
For Mexican food, try making breakfast burritos, but do so w/ whole wheat tortillas, egg whites (maybe one yolk if necessary), cooked grated cauliflower (to simulate the texture of rice), salsa, a little healthy avocado, and onions if you like
If you make mashed potatoes, do so w/ half potato half cauliflower... keep increasing the ratio of cauliflower to potato.
Make potato chips by slicing white potatoes, sweet potatoes, turnips, purple potatoes, parsnips thin (on a mandoline if you've got it); sprinkle with seasoning, and bake on an ungreased baking sheet til cooked and crisp... great for snacks
Make zucchini muffins... most people don't even know, and you can add fibrous ingredients like wheat bran and/or flax seed, though i personally find flax tastes very strong.
I betcha if you keep a bowl of cut up fruit salad, drizzled with lime juice for preservation in the fridge, and a bowl of pre-cut veggies, when he heads into the fridge looking for a snack, he'll delve into these.
If you're doing pasta, try using a whole wheat, or even better do half whole wheat, half spaghetti squash
If you're going to bake or have cookies, try lighter ones like meringues; another great food my parents used when they lost a lot of weight / were trying to eat healthier was to make skim sugar-free pudding... it upped their milk/calcium intake as well.
Try making fried rice, using half brown rice (who knows the difference when you're adding soy sauce anyways) and half cauliflower, then mince broccoli and carrots finely so it's hard to even pick them out. Scramble in egg whites, and some lean chicken breast, and voila healthier Chinese food. Serve with some Egg White Drop Soup with spinach.
I simply could not resist adding my two cents. With four kids and two cooks leading the house, here is my advise:
TOUGH LOVE: Your boyfriend (whatever his other good traits) has a child like, undeveloped palate. I would cook what YOU like and let him try it or cook something himself. If he acts like a child, treat him as such (with love of course!). We have trained our kids and with time and patience they have developed thier palates. For example, my eldest says she hated fish and most if not all seafood. She struggled anytime we made that for supper. Over time she found one dish she liked, then another and another. Now she loves many fish dishes. It took time and persistance, but it worked. The "this is not a restaurant" approach worked. He may work around eating your food for a while, but laziness, inertia should lead to a nibble here and a bite there. This will lead to interest and even, if you are lucky, enthusiasm.
LESS TOUGH LOVE: I never let my kids say "I don't like X". It is fine to say "I don't like X they way I have it prepared". Heck, I used to say "I don't like beets" and "I don't like cooked carrots". What I learned (with my wife at the helm of this issue) is that I had not found how I DID like them. Now, beets remain amongst my least favourite foods, BUT there are several ways I do like them. So try different approaches to the items you want him to eat (as others have suggested). I do not prefer this approach, but with a few tough sells, it can work.
Remember: you might have a lifetime with this guy. The notion that you can't change him does not apply to food (IMHO). Good luck!
Thank you ALL for the fantastic advice!!! I definitely didn't anticipate receiving so many wonderful responses.
Do you and your boyfriend exercise together? My husband and I started biking together 2 years ago and it has made a huge difference in our overall health and our diets. We're so much more conscious about eating to fuel our bodies for long rides and for recovery and about making better choices so that we feel better. And we stop at our local greenmarket every Saturday after a ride which has been really fun. Good luck!
Weight loss is not about diet. it's diet and exercise together. One won't work withouyt the other.
I'm a Personal Chef, so I've cooked for "Jack Sprat" and his wife<grin>. "Mexican food" is NOT inherently fat/bad for you. Make it at home; it's the commercial stuff that's crap. Make "mashed beans" from whole canned beans, don't buy "re-fried beans" full of fat. Use real shredded beef and pork trimmed of fat and braised in your own oven, not ground beef and pork. Use more chicken. Make your own colorado and verde sauces they taste better and are cheaper and healthier. Check out The Essential Mexican Kitchen by Rick Baylesss, the best Mexican chef north of the Border.
Likewise pizza. Make your own simple sauce for both pizza and pasta dishes. 90/10 ground beef not fatty Italian sausage. Easy thin or regular crust doughs with minimal oil. Cut out sausage and pepperoni (or at least reduce the amounts drastically ) and add mushrooms, peppers, etc.
Spicy is good; not bad. It's not spices that are giving him stomach problems, it's bad oils.
"Asian Stir Fries" are inherently healthy. They are not just meat dishes. They almost always have vegetables associated with them. DO NOT use more than 1 tablespoon of oil to stir fry with. Cook HOT and fast. Do not use commercial stir fry sauces. Make your own from rice wine vinegar, soy, etc. Use reduced sodium soy, serve on brown rice. Use lean cuts of beef and pork and limit the amounts of meat relative to the amounts of vegetables. .
As a guy, let me say this. Never "sneak" things into our food. That's a quick way to earn our distrust. I wouldn't do that to you; don't do it to me.
Be up front about cooking healthy for both of you. If he doesn't like it, tell him cook his own meals. If your healthy meals look, smell and taste appealing - he'll eat them. If he doesn't want to compromise on this issue, there are other things you may ultimately need to re-consider.
I think it would be nice to read some compromise on the part of OP. Also I think saying "I'm so proud of him" almost sounds like we're potty training :) :) How about "honey, I think it's great that you're expanding your horizons regarding food." Yes, it's semantics but perception by the listener is important. Someone mentioning that this has turned rather Dr. Phil-ish and I agree. But, hey, it got brought up here....

CHARLOTTE COUNTY- Charlotte County Sheriff's detectives arrested a Harbour Heights man Tuesday after he was identified by DNA taken from a cigarette butt found with stolen items after he burglarize a home. Charged with Burglary while Armed, and Grand Theft of Firearms and Property, was Lukas Eugene Denman, 26, 1511 Magnus Terrace.
On Dec. 26, 2010 CCSO received a burglary call to a home in the 2100 block of Blaser Street, Port Charlotte. The home was burglarized sometime (Christmas Day), Dec. 25 or the morning of Dec. 26. The burglar stole $12,275 in various items including several firearms. Detectives responded to the home and found some of the stolen items in an empty lot not far from the home burglary.
Crime Scene collected evidence in the home, including a cigarette butt located where the stolen items were recovered. A DNA sample was taken from the cigarette butt and sent in for testing. CCSO detectives received notice that the DNA sample taken fit DNA in the state CODIS system that came back as a match to Denman.
Denman turned himself in Tuesday afternoon with his attorney; he is being held in the Charlotte County Jail on no bond pending first appearance this morning. Denman is a convicted felon; this is his fourth arrest.

Thank You for Being a Friend: La Jolla Library supporters seek new members
By Ashley Mackin
The definition most people have for the word "friend" probably has a lot of components to it. To name a few, friends care, they're supportive, they offer input, and they may give money every once in a while. But they get something in return, too.
The same applies to Friends of the La Jolla Library, who number about 100. To be a "Friend" of the library is to contribute a set amount every year (starting at $10) to support the library and its many programs. In 2013, members and donations totaled about $24,000. The Friends also receive $4,000-$5,000 each month from the ongoing used book sale they operate at the library.
Increasing the number of Friends is a goal for the 2014-2015 board of directors, who talked about some of the feel-good incentives at a March 19 meeting.
"There are things, like the Friends Reception, that we offer to supporters," said former membership chair Kathleen Harrison. The annual event is a way to thank friends with food, drinks and entertainment, plus an opportunity to see how the library operates behind the scenes.
The free programs provided by the library — such as the yoga classes, toddler story times, writing groups, computer classes, movie screenings with popcorn, and the popular LEGO Club (which has an average of 20 children participating each week) — are all possible because of Friends' membership funds.
For one participant of the Computer Help Lab (11 a.m. Fridays), the free programs are "an absolute godsend." Although former La Jollan Deyon Vanderweele said she moved to Clairemont six months ago, she still comes to the La Jolla library for its programs.
"I don't have a computer at home, but it seems I can't live without one. I don't know what I'm doing technically now, but I will soon," she said. "Having an instructor right here to answer questions is great."
Of the many events, Head Librarian Catherine Greene told
La Jolla Light
, "We believe the library has cultural responsibilities to the community, so we want our programs to reflect that. We try to offer things people want to do that are not going on somewhere else nearby. If no one shows up, we know there isn't the want (and we move on to something new)."
Adding that the Friends are "amazingly helpful and very supportive," she said Friends contributions help make the library what it is. Greene said in the last 10 years, the City of San Diego had to cut library hours and staff. As a result, one full-time library assistant was laid off, the full-time youth librarian became part-time, and operating hours were cut. The Friends rallied together and contributed enough cash to pay the salary of a full-time library assistant and return the part-time youth librarian to full time. "It's been really great," she said.
Furthermore, Arlene Powers, co-chair of the Friends Art Committee said the quarterly art exhibitions (and sales) offered in the community room "could not be done without the support of the Friends."

My father said you're always asking me for money, so why don't you get you a little job so you can make your own?
High school student, Youth panel for the committee
Parents encourage adolescents to get jobs, because doing so will enable them to buy the things they want or because work is seen as an inherent good. A common belief in the United States is that holding a job builds character and teaches a young person what real life is like. Interviews with parents support this idea; parents expect that jobs will teach their adolescents to be dependable, punctual, and responsible (Greenberger and Steinberg, 1986). Working adolescents also describe themselves as more punctual, responsible, and dependable than those who are not employed (Greenberger, 1984).

The discussion of child labor in America is taking place at a time of intense debate over the legitimacy of child labor throughout the global economy. It is interesting to note that the issues that have emerged in the United States differ substantially from those addressed by the International Labour Organization (ILO). In the United States, the primary concerns have been the availability of work for low-income teenagers, the health and safety of the work environments of children and adolescents, and the compatibility of that work with young people's educational needs.

|Robert Pattinson happy to be back in LA
The 26-year-old British actor returned to Los Angeles this week after spending 64 days apart from his on/off girlfriend, 22, while shooting his new movie 'The Rover' in Australia and according to his director David Michod he took advantage of his time alone.
He told Australia's WHO magazine: "He's very smart. It's been one of the beaut experiences [for him] ... to roam around and breathe fresh air, but the flies are driving him crazy."
Robert was previously said to have used his time in Australia to contemplate the future of his relationship with Kristen following her fling with married director Rupert Sanders last August.
But an insider told HollywoodLife.com that the actress is now desperate to get their relationship back on track and wants to prove her commitment.
A source said: "Kristen is confident that her relationship with Rob is stronger than ever and has no problem whatsoever with Rob wanting to take things slow. They have been together pretty much non-stop since he's been back. He has just only arrived but the first person he wanted to see and spend time with is Kristen, and of course (their dogs) Bear and Bernie."
