Totally! This was the exact transition we had – small changes over time have made it so that now we eat pretty similarly (though he definitely still loves anything meat, potatoes and cheese as well!). Ketchup on salmon is definitely a new one! Haha! To each their own 🙂

He would sometimes make comments when I was cooking dinner (ie: “Eww. Onions.”), but would generally try whatever I was making. Now he definitely eats things he would never have before: curries, stuffed peppers, sweet potatoes, brussel sprouts. The key for us was serving it as an option or mixed in with something. He had really only had sweet potatoes covered with marshmallows but if I served them as fries with some paprika and garlic, he enjoyed them. I have also learned to not get offended when he adds cheese and salt to everything (or eats ketchup on salmon).

I totally agree! It’s all about respecting people’s differences and right to choose what THEY want! In my opinion, it’s totally okay (and kind of nice!) not to be exactly alike so long as those differences are supported 🙂

These are some great tips. My fiancé is the same way- he’ll eat what I make but really prefers not-so-healthy options sometimes. I think it’s really key (in our relationship at least) to respect each other’s decisions. It never goes well if you try to push something onto someone- let them make their own decisions! I’ve recently found it difficult while a friend of mine’s boyfriend is super on-board with every healthy and non-toxic choice she makes, I was so jealous! But I love my relationship and being independent people too! Respect is key.
