@Kathleen83, okay, so rather than making your husband a special meal, could you perhaps share some food with him that you prepared for yourself?

My wife has certain fussiness about food. But I've started to give her a few grapes or some slices of pear (both of which are delightful treats) with breakfast. (She won't eat apples -- "they're just for fall.") I pack them for lunch for myself, so I can spare a few. And if she leaves it, I'll eat it. (I hate to throw out good food.)
